For some reason, I feel really tired tonight and want to go to bed early. I think it's because I've been getting up at 6am, but not going to bed much earlier to compensate. I'm sleep deprived.
Maybe it's also because I've been tapering off caffeine, so my sleep cycles are more healthy.
I had a little bit to eat - snack. And oddly I feel like getting ready for bed, though it's so early. I'm tired. I want to read in bed, then go to sleep early.
I'm just back from my brother's house. I had a lazy day, and I'm not sure what I'll do with the evening. I don't feel especially energetic. I'm certainly not going to start any big projects now.

I'm sooo close to finishing something, and all sorts of things are going wrong. Most of them are due to my anxiety and lack of patience, AND, it could have been done weeks ago. I'm taking an hour away from it, then gritting my teeth and going back to it. Good luck to you!!!
Ate lunch and then took a sort of nap. I just have a few sentences left to finish this letter. I'm feeling overwhelmed and crippled by vague fears and grief. Yeesh.

Last day before going back to work, uggh. So much I haven't gotten done. Right now I'm working on some letters of recommendation - I had months to do them, and of course I waited.

I'm all done with my morning routine. I have to leave in a few minutes for Grand Central Station - I'm going to my brother's house for New Year's Day breakfast.
I've had a caffeine withdrawal migraine for two days now, so I slightly increased the amount of coffee in my morning ... whatever you call it at this point (it has coffee, chicory, and dried dandelion root).
I didn't make breakfast because I'm going to have a big meal at my brother's house.
I'm not sure what time I'll be back, so I'm not sure what else to put on the to-do list now.
Empty dish drain.
Wash dishes.
Make "coffee" (coffee is the smallest part of it).
Shower and dress.
Put in contacts.
Make bed (convert futon from bed to couch).
Lay out pills for the day.
Take pills - dose 1 of 3.
Wash dishes from coffee.

If I can't do it perfectly, I'll do it anyway. If I can't do it all, I'll do some. If I do nothing, nothing gets done.
"I don't feel like it" is a poor sacrifice for your dreams.
