(no subject)
I have decided that if I am not going to work, I am going to not-work productively. i.e., not working should consist of feeding the magpie, drawing, reading my English texts, lying aroun listening to music (as opposed to sitting here, not working but listening to music half heartedly... My dad is feeding the magpie right at this moment, and it is skittering around competing with a mudlark to get all the cheese; most delightful... or else, I should just try to sleep, or go shopping, or dance around the house, or *something*.
Doing nothing is all very well. But doing nothing is only all very well when it is done deliberately, rather than just as a negation of doing something else you feel you should be doing. So, in the spirit of that, as soon as I don't feel like doing any work, and I *stop* ... well then I think I will go and do something else. I'm sick of being lazy and feeling like it. Instead, I will be lazy and pretend that I am actually not, by doing something useful in the meantime. Besides, it's good for you. After all, "work is the best antidote to sorrow".
