1:08 am - ok, maybe I should get my day started finally.

Or maybe not. Rats. Well, I took wombn to therapy, and I voted. And
we went for a walk. Then I ranted with a friend about the election for
about 2 hours.

When I get like this I just freeze. I've been thinking about doing my
bath routine where I study a little Spanish, but I can't even get myself
to do that. I end up staring at the internet and continually checking
email and newsgroups for new messages.

Tomorrow is another day.

One thought I've had about the latter practice: One becomes
accustomed to a certain level of novelty and interest from
on-line communications. Unlike the old print media, though,
if one keeps looking, one will often find something New!
and Exciting!

One has to learn to say "enough for an hour" or "for today."

I've actually had some modest successes with the latter.
