I Often wonder...no, Truly...OFTEN.....why the traits that I have in my profession (organized, diligent, reliable, dependable, adaptable, flexible, problem-solver, takes initiative, and so forth)...are so very Incongruent with what my at - home traits reveal ( lackadaisical, slothful, exhausted, it's Whatever-ness, there is Always tomorrow, does it really Need to be done). Look, I am not referring to a planned veg- out in front of the tv day ( never have those), lounge in your pajama day (Oops...I Am still doing this), but rather...a day, or even a moment in time where I plan to get something useful accomplished. How can I so easily switch from one to the other with nary any effort at all? Take my spring break (this week) as an example, if you will. Now first of all, let's just dispense with the notion of having planned something away from home (a vacation/short trip/fun day activity). None of these were on the agenda. However, I did have plans to write Something each day. Now, to be honest, my 36 hour migraine, spoken of recently assisted me in That downfall. Once I survived that, I found that recovery made me a bit sluggish. I find this as no excuse, as...sluggish or not, were I at work, my performance would not show this. At home, though, with only 2 main items on my spring break agenda...writing and sweeping/mopping the floors...one would think that would be no problem. Wrong ~o, as here I sit, day after day, spending so much time THINKING about what to write, instead of just diving in (like right now...finally letting all of the overthinking go), that I was wasting a multitude of hours each day, awaiting that perfect inspiration. Silly me! As I was being a Wastrel with my writing, I COULD have been attacking my floors with Gusto, as they Certainly Need the attention, what with having a rather large, continually Slobbering dog. Have I, though? Of course not. I tell my husband, each evening when he comes home, that I haven't been feeling quite well yet (slight headache that I am afraid will flare into a migraine if I do something that takes too much effort). I tell him..."I will do it tomorrow." While he is not overly worried about it, I am. I figure that by telling him I will do it the following day, that is my push to get it done...hasn't worked Yet. Hey...now that I have told him AND you...perhaps that will be the precipitant to help me become aggressive in my effort. Back to the lack of harmony that exists between work and home, my only conclusion is that my mind and body Insist that when I am at home, it is time for a Mental and Physical break. Which does absolutely Nothing for the daily exercise that I Should be partaking of, but...that is another topic itself...sigh. |
