I'm currently struggling with the fact that I've been sickish for almost a week now and with this sickishness has come one fail after another. I have a huge list of intentions that just don't seem to be hitting the top of my priorities. What are my current priorities? Sleep a full night and...remember to take my medication.
The real question is: what are my intentions? Clean my house. Christmas shop. Call about my insurance (honestly should be a priority). Go on a walk every day. Do yoga every day. Write for an hour every day. Lesson plan for an hour or two every day. Buy groceries. Cook. Buy a dry erase board to list priorities vs. intentions.
What do I do instead? Lie awake in bed until around 11. Pout because I have to actually make coffee if I want to drink it. Eat the easiest thing available for breakfast. Watch television. Find creative ways to be warm. Stress out because no one wants to hang out/too many people want to hang out.
My existence is a plateau.
My final question is: Is this so because I am ill/school is out, or is there something bigger going on? Perhaps it's my aversion to the holiday season in general. Christmas is ten days away. Shouldn't I be more excited?
In my head this blog sounded a lot funnier than it reads. Anyone want to pat me on the back?

I hope you feel better soon. I don't "do" x-mas so you'd fit right in here :)
I think everyone goes through periods where their motivation starts to slip. Mine is usually in late winter/early spring right about the time the world is going from snow to mud.
If this is the case, just keep doing the best you can convince yourself to do. Claim each victory no matter how minor and run with it. You'll be back on track before you know it.
