I should've been working like a demon all afternoon on the invited paper. Instead, I've mostly been in a sort of a sluggish torpor.

It's been a long week. I'm ready to go home now.

Okay: Before I leave the office I will
a) Make the phone call I've been putting off because I'm feeling too lazy to look up the number and figure out how to phrase my message.
b) Water my plants.
c) Contact the patient whose social worker is bugging me about getting her onto my schedule.
d) Write at least one full page of material, no excuses.

Update.

a) Make the phone call I've been putting off because I'm feeling too lazy to look up the number and figure out how to phrase my message.

Done. And a good thing, because I found out something I didn't know, which is probably going to cause all kinds of turmoil.

b) Water my plants.

Done. How can I be killing a jade plant? They're, like, the easiest plants in the world.

c) Contact the patient whose social worker is bugging me about getting her onto my schedule.

Done, and scheduled. The patient was a lot less excited about getting in to see me than the social worker was. I'm somehow not surprised.

d) Write at least one full page of material, no excuses.

One page plus five lines. Ha. Although I'm obviously going to have to go back and tone down the snideness later.

Yay, me. These may be pathetic accomplishments, but they're definitely better than nothing.
