It was a lazy day for me today. I spent some time on MyLot, talked to a couple of friends on the phone, and practiced a bit of guitar and piano.
But I finally "bit the bullet" and got some work done on my book this evening. I added a few paragraphs each to chapters about: a) a 10-year-old boy with the foulest mouth I've ever encountered in a kid of that age; b) a 6-year-old boy I taught piano to at the drug rehab; and c) a 2 1/2-year-old autistic kid who I was able to "reach" through music (yes, I've written about him here recently).
Now I can go to bed and not feel like a total slacker.
I don't have physical "constipation" right now. but today was one of those days where I couldn't really get my mojo working. Everything I did (except MyLot-related things, of course) required a bit of effort. I had to "push it out."
Do you ever have days like that?
I may go to bed sooner than later.
I'll attach a picture of a rock formation the "cursing kid" and I came to enjoy climbing. You've seem it before.

Yes, I've had days were everything felt like "work"... even when it was just reading a book or watching a funny video a friend sent me in an email.
Taking a nap usually "fixes" the problem for me. I hope you have a good night and feel better tomorrow.

@DaddyEvil I'm playing music with a couple of friends at Mike's house. I may try to get there early and record something. Vanny and I have not done our thing in a long while.

We did a ton today, so not really feeling like a slacker.
We went to Whatburger for breakfast, then the zoo, then to a friends house, then to the dispensary, then to another friends house, 2 Dollar Generals, 2 Walmarts, Wendys, the pharmacy, and McDonalds. Changed two tires on the trailer, gave the dogs baths, I cleaned out two drawers in the dresser, and I wrote three freelance articles.

I hate it when I have a lot of things to get done and I don't get them all done. I always think I am going to; I think I set myself up for failure at times by trying to fit too much in one day.

Will you ever get the book finished, or do you keep adding chapters?

@celticeagle Sending books out would make me very happy. Especially if sales to people who don't know me personally were good.

Ha! You helped me make $15.00 today. I got a tip that you'd be working on your book, so I went to Reno and put $1 on One Hour. It paid 15-1.

@TheHorse That's why I only take tips from outsiders.

Glad you got some work done on your book, I have days when I suddenly feel like I don't want to do any more work and just relax and watch a movie.

On days when I'm so tired because I can't sleep, things are very difficult to accomplish. I usually just sit in front of the TV with my eyes either open or closed an vegetate. Congrats on getting some work done on your book. How close are you to finishing it?

@LindaOHio I don't mind having the book "playing in the background."
