caddymanI find myself curiously lacking in motivation to do anything except lounge around and watch telly.
I think it is because at work I seem to be attending meeting after meeting in which we discuss what we are going to be doing over the next few months in the face of an immovable and tight deadline. It feels like over planning although it probably isn't, given the large numbers of staff changes we've had recently. Nonetheless, it is deeply frustrating.
I have some nascent plot lines floating around in my head but they are refusing to be drawn to the page. I had an idea and managed an entire paragraph before stalling - I know what I want it to say, but the words are not coming out right. So I have put the drafting on hold for the time being - there's no need to force it. We have given ourselves two years, after all, and we're only a week in to that.
Overall, I am feeling just a little bit listless. I haven't been out or seen anyone other than going to work since I left Birmingham on Monday afternoon. What I really want to do is just sit in a convivial atmosphere with a group of friends and talk crap for a few hours. Just turn up and knock on the door like I did before everyone moved just out of spontaneous visit range.
Most of the time it doesn't matter. Sometimes it does.
Tonight is one of those times.
