Rinse Repeat
I left work early today knowing that I was useless to complete the tasks before me in any expedient way. It was the kind of day where I couldn't think of a single thing I could write up and finish before the end of the day. My head just didn't work. I feel that way many days, today being different only because I am still bearing the vestiges of this cold and therefore had an acceptable excuse to leave. I take out an advance on tomorrow's motivation every day, telling myself the next day will be different. And I disappoint myself almost every day too because tomorrow is unlikely to be different if I repeat what I did today. The math isn't hard, it's the application of the math that's kicking my butt.

Ava, I know how you feel! But i also know you shouldn't be so hard on yourself! Forget the writing you have to do and have a break and then maybe you'll feel inspired and much more motivated. Good luck :)
yes, but just when you think the next day is going to be the same something wonderful happens! It may be a while, but it will.
I'm sure your limited mobility due to the boot is also contributing to your depression. Don't skip meals, and just take it easy--maybe watch some funny movies or TV. Give yourself a chance to rest and recuperate!
Tamara; you're right. It is often so difficult to not only take care of yourself but actually treat yourself well. Especially when working with people who seem to expect that you'll get back to work immediately. People who also seem to forget that I'm wearing a gigantic black boot on my driving foot when they ask me why I haven't scheduled meetings that I have to drive to. I'm looking forward to the long weekend to decompress a bit. 2 down 4 more weeks to go in the boot. :-) Thanks all for the comments.
