twas not a day for plowing

I did finish with one of them, however, which is good, and I started another. AND I think I've settled on a theoretical angle, which is huge. It's something I should have had nailed down months ago, but while I absolutely love theory, I don't have enough experience with it to throw names and phrases around.

And I formed a sort of mental schedule, which I've been saying I was going to do for weeks now and haven't. I hate making schedules and daily plans because I hate feeling guilty when I don't follow them. And I caught myself thinking, starting Monday..., and you know what, that's not happening. Why don't I start tomorrow? It will be good for me to get out of the house. I could go to brunch! Why didn't I think of that before?? Probably because it's not a good idea to reward myself before I do anything... And I've no one to go with tomorrow, so perhaps I should set something up for next week. I'm not mentally prepared to go where I really want to go yet anyway. There either. I could go to the one I haven't been to in a while, later in the day, they have brunch until 4:30. It's a bit expensive though. We'll see.

It's supposed to snow tomorrow.

Tomorrow we are library-bound. I like the double meaning there: that I'm headed for the library and at the same time that I will be chained there. It means I will get more work done. There are too many distractions here. I let myself get too distracted here. I'm even going to pack my bag before I go to bed tonight. I have two books to return, and I have to decide how many to take with me... I have to pick one up there. I have twelve sitting here in front of me, and I need to get them done in a matter of days because I have to get a whole bunch more now. In fact, I think I may only take two tomorrow and check out a couple theory books because I'll most likely have to do more than skim them.

I think I should also start doing daily reflection papers for myself. Just a page or two, my own words, no pressure, but I need to start putting more of my own thoughts into print. Tonight I have nothing to write. I will set up a reflection document though. ...What do you know, I had a little bit to say. Always good to recap, right?

Had been thinking of a nightcap, but it seems I don't need one. Sleepy. Hasta la maƱana.
