In which I am very dull Oh, I'm so useless these days. It must be the continuing lack of sleep; despite my stated goal of going to bed before 2 a.m. last night, and even though I was exhausted from having woken up at 6:30 yesterday morning and dragging myself and my overnight bag all the hell over the city, I still didn't get to bed until 2:45 last night. Bad girl. No biscuit. My morning allotment of two cups of strong coffee and 20mg of Ritalin gets me up and about, and I don't feel particularly tired after about 8:45 a.m., but the way I just stare blankly at my computer screen so often during the workday, and can't think of anything to write about, and can't get much work done, probably means my brain isn't functioning very well behind my over-dilated eyes. It's probably directing all its attention to things like "don't walk out into traffic" and "don't spill hot coffee on yourself" instead of "write a regular expression to find the remaining transliterated Hebrew words in this Bible commentary" and "do a blog post about that interesting article in the New York Times this morning." I'm awake, even somewhat alert, but I don't have any energy. Feh, feh, feh. (Oh well. If I don't have any energy, I'm not manic. [Yet.]) Yes, this is a pretty lousy entry, but I know if I don't post something every weekday, I'll get out of the habit, and, for whatever it's worth, I don't want to do that. If I write about something every day, even if it's boring or stupid, I'll have the momentum behind me to write about something interesting or intelligent when it actually happens. So here it is: a boring, and perhaps stupid, entry, but an entry all the same. And I've been staring at the screen trying to think of a way to end it for about five minutes, so I'm just going to say "the end." The end. [ at 12:15 AM • by Abby • permalink • ] |
