Today, all for the sake of avoiding my real work, I:
+ Talked to strangers. Clocked an hour talking to a self-proclaimed “talent scout”
+ Sold people things they didn’t need (*but, nevertheless, convinced them they wanted)
+ I baked. And I baked things I don’t even like . . . and don’t even have the right ingredients for (*see. cinnamon rolls)
+ I didn’t nap
+ I changed outfits. Four times
+ I went to the plant store just to see and touch plants
+ I read some poems
+ I did a few asanas
+ I pretended to read about ecology and ecosystems
+ I read this article. Twice
That’s how I spent my day so far.
And, I didn’t feel guilty about it. Any of it.
