Distracted

For my 3rd blog I have decided to take a break from studying in the library near my home and discuss distractions. I came to the library to study and avoid the distractions at home. It's very hard to stay focused at home. I'm like a strobe light with a million thoughts a minute. 

Yesterday I got up at 9am determined to sit down and study with my computer and books... but oh, wait. I must first check my email, after all, someone very important might have contacted me. So, I check all 4 email addresses and then Facebook. Wowzers, interesting place FB is. Lotsa people and lotsa stuff to read. So, at noon, I feel ready to study. I open my book and turn to page 320. Hey! That's like the first 3 numbers of my phone number! What do ya know? Wow. I haven't checked my phone in like 15 minutes. I should do that. I go and listen... "No new messages". Huh. I don't really like the way my voice sounds on my phone. I should record it again. 

So, at 1:30pm I think, "That's great. I have a nice new voice on my phone. Refreshing!" What should I do now? I'm starving! I'll find something to eat. I don't see anything very interesting. Old banana, some string cheese, spaghetti, turkey. I'll have turkey. I'll have a turkey sandwich. No bread. No problem. I'll look in the freezer. Wow, there are fish sticks in the freezer! I should make some of those. What can I bake them on? The other little convection oven pan is in the dishwasher. Oh! I can make my own "pan" from tinfoil. So, at 3pm I'm eating some fish sticks and admiring the "pan" that I made. Dandy little thing. Too bad I have to throw it out. Now, I should really study. I head back to the computer and realize that the screensaver pictures have started up. Ah! I remember that day! And that time! And those people! I love pictures. So, I decided it would be good for the spirit to watch the whole slide show. 1063 pictures later, I'm ready to study. But, it's time for dinner, I don't have time to study right now. Silly me. I have to make dinner for my dear husband. I'll look for recipes online. First, I'll check the pantry to see what we have. 

The pantry is filled with good prospects. But, it's missing some key ingredients. I should really make a shopping list. I made a terrific shopping list. I should have coupons. Where's the paper? Did I recycle the paper? Shoot, I can't go to the store without saving 58 cents!?! Oh, there it is underneath my jeans. My jeans look sort of dirty. I should wash them. What else could I wash with them? Should I just do all the laundry? Yes, how productive of me. I'll start separating darks from lights.... what is gray? 

So, at 9pm I'm all tuckered out and think I should really rest after all of the stuff I've done today. I'm literally exhausted. I'll work on getting into bed as soon as I check my email....
