Where Has It Gone?

I am sitting here at my computer with a list next to me. No surprise, there are lists everywhere around here. I do love my lists! This list, though, is of ideas for blog posts. Right now, there are 7 different ideas on there.

I don’t feel like writing about any of them.

Blah.

I have completely lost all motivation to do anything. It’s not just blogging, either. When I’m at work I want to be anywhere but there. It used to be that, while I didn’t necessarily love every moment that I spent at work, I could at least cheerfully tolerate the hours I spent there. But now, I count the hours from the moment that I arrive until the moment I can leave. It’s torturous.

And then I’m home. And I can just hardly get myself to do anything. I’m keeping up with the laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc… but just barely. I’m just putting in the minimum required effort. I don’t even feel like reading, so much, or watching tv. I’m content to just sit.

I’m still happy to spend an hour or two taking photographs…but then it might take me a day or two or more to get around to putting them on the computer, and even longer to sort through them.

I’m still making lists left and right, but I’m not accomplishing much of what’s on them.

I really need to get back on track. Perhaps one of these days I’ll get up off my duff and actually do something. I don’t know where my motivation has gone–I used to be a pretty driven individual, at least when it came to things I really cared about. Now I’m just kind of lazy. I think alot about things that need to be accomplished, but I don’t seem to ever actually accomplish them. And sometimes, when I am doing things, I feel like I’m just spinning my wheels. Working and working and working but never really getting anywhere.
I’m going to share with you my list of blog topics. Tell me which you’d really care to hear about, OK? Or, if these ideas suck, then give me others.

Written exactly as they are on my list:

• Jury Duty. I have it this month.
• My packing list/to do list for the trip to Phoenix. It’s considerable, and detailed. Share.
• Some movie quotes that I haven’t seen on other blogs- thinking of a guessing game or something.
• Phoenix trip. Am I more excited or nervous? Arizona very far away. (map)
• iPod headphones. Recommendations. Don’t like mine.
• Television in kids’ rooms. Discuss.
• New photo essay project? Title “Growing Season”…

Now, answer. Is this stuff totally boring, or sort of OK?  Could I do better?  Comment. E-mail me. Motivate me!

Oh, and look! One of my photos was chosen for The Daily Click over at Shutter Sisters! Wow, that’s some talented company I’m in! Yay me!
