Today I decided to take the afternoon to just be lazy and stuff. My plan was to just sit on the couch watching the US Open on TV and eating chips and ice-cream, but it only worked out to a certain extent because I felt too charged up and energetic to just sit still. I just felt like I wanted to move and do other stuff at the same time, like working out, which I did while I watched the coverage. I get in this energetic state in which I want to do many things at the same time and find myself easily distracted by anything that happens to be around me. I can be watching a movie and all of a sudden log on to the Internet and start downloading music, then picking up a book or magazine while still keeping the TV on and reading with half an eye on the movie, and then tossing the book aside, turning off the TV and putting on CD to listen to a couple of really loud tunes, then going back to the movie, then for no apparent reason (not even hunger), going to the kitchen and raiding the fridge, etc. Right now I'm feeling like that.
As an example, I already know I'm going out tonight, but I think I want to go to several different places instead of just one. I'd like to go someplace and interact with some people for a while, then go someplace else and do the same with a whole bunch of different people, and so on. It's just that restlessness that shows up at times. It is a very pleasant state though, but sometimes it gets in the way.
Anyway, I just felt like sharing that.
