I’m totally without motivation today. I thought that making myself a new “To Do” list yesterday would help me get started on the things that I really need to do, but I was wrong. I respond to a load of social media messages that have been waiting several days for me to acknowledge, but I also needed to respond to an email that I received over the weekend (from Martha Orbach, the artist who watched my DBS operation) and I can’t get myself to do so. I decided to finish making a DVD of my neighbour’s safari holiday (for my neighbours), so I set my MacBook up on the dining table ready to get to work on it… and then I didn’t do it.
On a more positive note, I have walked the dog twice today, and made myself some scotch pancakes as an afternoon snack (don’t ask me why, it’s just something that went through my head and I acted on it). I also decided that it was chilly enough to warrant having a fire, so I split the last few remaining logs, grabbed a handful of kindling from the garden shed and light the woodburner.
My elder brother (who lives in Nova Scotia) put me under some pressure (unintentionally) when he messaged me to ask how I was doing with sorting out our mother’s estate – the short answer to that is that I’m not – I even neglected to put it on my “To Do” list (I’ll rectify that later).
Symptoms are all pretty much under control aside from my voice, which has been badly affected by my latest voltage change – communication is now officially a challenge!
