I'd like to say 'Another day, Another Dollar' but since I'm on sick pay the days don't mean much either way. I would go stark raving mad at my current lack of activity if it weren't for the fact that my anti-epileptic drugs make me too lethargic to actually give a rat's arse. I meant to get more writing done today, and perhaps even work some more on my CV for when I find a job for occupational therapy. Then the distractions hit...
Today's distraction...
- Decided to vacuum room. Eventually I actually got to this but only after I finished vacuuming the lounge out.
- Thought meh, may as well vacuum the lounge and realised no one had done the couches and cushions for awhile; two breaks, a washing pile and lunch later this finally got done
- Needed to hang out washing, having remember to actually put it in in the first place.
- Oh, right. Need to take down dry stuff first; but I want to work on this piece I'm writing
- Eh, no milk for me. :( :( Walkies!!!! :)
- Still not wrote anything but sudden epiphany made me put off making bed
- Working through notes on project, hit me that it may actually be easier to time up the 12 pages of outline I have to make the changes.
- Finally manage to write a writing challenge (Called kick her to the Curb), still not started typing up current project
Conveniently I 'forgot' about CV. But since all I need to refine now is the references and format I think I'm good. I'm kinda restricted in what I do at the moment anyway and have to consider any job as part of a learning curve. I'm expecting workplace stress factors to affect my triggers.
Actually, dispite the distraction level I was quite productive ^_^
Welcome to the rabbit hole. In recent times this blog has revolved around self-promotion of my creative-writing blog and my personal blogging. Older post contain recipes and soap crafts - this blog moves with my lunacy. :)

Oh poor little brain
I have a better excuse then ever for veging. After about 250 words of prose I had to take a loooooong break. I started to feel like a seizure come on so I thought 'right, let's take a break.' Since then I have not had the cognitive ability to string sentences together without time and a lot of thought. 4 weeks after brain surgery this is pretty much par for course.
Let's all vege out. Who needs to work?
