Still have will to live, but will to work has fled temporarily.
I've lost the will to work this week. Last week, I was tremendously productive. Good thing, too, because yesterday afternoon, I came down with a terrible case of I Don't Give a Shit. I managed to get the important things done, and a little work on a boring rainy day project that makes my eyes bleed - but no great progress.
Had a treat at Best Buy last night. I saw that Sierra is releasing Caesar IV, which I hadn't even heard of. Caesar III is easily in my Top Three favorite computer games of all time, so I'm pretty excited about this. I also looked at Age of Empires III while in the store. Ian is building a new computer for himself, I'm inheriting the one he built about a year-and-a-half ago, and my mom will inherit the one I'm using. My computer won't run AoE III, but Ian's will, so I'll finally get to play that shortly... well, truthfully, now that I think about it, the new video card I got for Christmas probably would've enabled me to play it now, but it's just as well. I probably sink more time into computer gaming than I really want to anyway.
Perhaps the best find was a really comfy computer chair. Ian and I have both been looking for new chairs. We're willing to shell out to get some really nice ergonomic ones, but the trouble is finding a showroom where you can actually sit in the chair before you it. It's surprising how difficult this is to find, actually. That chair at Best Buy might be a good thing to investigate further, however. A brand new shiny Best Buy just opened very close to our house, so I'll go over and check that out this weekend.
Today at lunch I start studying for my math class. I have a real mental block here. Just glancing at the notes makes my eyes cross, and summons the thought, "I can't do this." That's not true! I can do this. I know I can do this. I just need to stay calm, take it slowly, be diligent in my study, and ask for and accept help along the way. This journey of a thousand miles begins with the single step of studying today at lunch.
