Tomorrow I’m Only Doing One Thing
My problem is that everything I see is something that should have been done already. Everything.
Just walking around my house, for instance. As I get out of bed, I notice the film of dust on the shelves — and instead of just grabbing a dust rag and swiping the shelf, I have this idea that before doing that, the floors should be done. But to do the floors, I’ll have to move stuff out of the way and that reminds me that the other day I dropped a lip balm by my bed, and to pick it up, I had to reach under the bed stand. I saw all the disgusting detritus that just lives under there…and that’s when I had to walk away, leave the house, get in my car, and head for the Exxon station where they sell the coffee Haagen-Dazs ice cream bar that I like.
You get it, right?
If you don’t, it might sound ridiculous. But that’s how overwhelmed I get just being in my house.
ENOUGH.
This is what I’m going to do tomorrow, now that I’ve completely failed today. (I haven’t failed. But if I start talking about that, I’ll get distracted and then we’ll never through this.)
Anyway. Tomorrow. (Look at me! Getting all back on track. See? I’ve got this.) What happens…
