Hmmm. Well, obviously it&#8217;s a recurring theme. I&#8217;ve been thinking about it a lot lately. Today was my second day off after a nine working days in 10 stretch. Yesterday I looked at my long list of things I wanted to do . . . and went back to bed.<\/p>\n<p>I finally got myself out about 1 pm and ran a couple of errands. Then I even cooked a real dinner. That&#8217;s as opposed to heating frozen food or going out. All good but this morning I&#8217;m unmotivated again.I still have a lot on my list but I find it&#8217;s easy to rationalize staying in. I&#8217;ve been thinking lately how a couple of years ago I went out on hikes on this beautiful peninsula pretty regularly. Not so much now.<\/p>\n<p>At years&#8217; end I tallied the number of days worked and found that 2016 was almost exactly the same as 2015. In fact, the last 4 years are remarkably close. That would be fine except I&#8217;ve stated many times, to myself and others, that I want to reduce my work load. Days like today, though, highlight the question of what do I do with the extra time.<\/p>\n<p>Jazz band starts next Monday so that will be something. It remains to be seen if I can practice more.<\/p>\n<p>I think about writing a lot but actually doing it less so. I did pick up the Stephen King book <em>On Writing<\/em> yesterday at the library so perhaps there will be some inspiration there.<\/p>\n<p>OK, up and at &#8217;em.
