I've been very unfocused today, much more willing to travel down the mental rabbit holes whenever a stray thought crosses my mind, or I see something shiny.
Early in the day I was reading through a job post to determine whether or not I thought I'd fit the qualifications, when I realized I hadn't been comprehending anything I'd read. I was instead thinking about other projects entirely while taking in the words on the screen.
In that moment I thought it would be very convenient to have the GURPS ability "Compartmentalized Mind" which allows for extra mental actions; I could let part of myself wander along these mental corridors while the rest of me focused on reading job descriptions and applying for jobs.
Today seemed like a good day for curling around a hot beverage and reading a book, except that I was fairly sure I wouldn't remember anything I'd read. Even my beverages cool off before I finish drinking them... cold, over-steeped tea is not pleasant (though better than cold coffee).
At least I got Zombies in the Quad rewritten and started on the website yesterday.
