Energetic Wherewithal

Today started out promising. I was all gung-ho about the writer’s group meeting tonight. I knew this was the first night I would present my pages for critiquing. I did last minute rewrites and made the appropriate number of copies to pass around.

However, by the time I got home, all motivation was lost. I attribute it to simply feeling spent. I must’ve overdone it with all the activity I did last night, coupled with going to bed late.

I thought about reconsidering and just going to the meeting anyway, but I felt that coming ill-prepared energetically would be an ultimate disservice. It takes a certain level of energy for me to effectively present my story, critique the stories of others, and interact.

I’m so low on energy now that it’s a wonder I even made it this far in my blog. I was gonna’ skip doing it too, but I didn’t want to make today a total wash.

I guess I’ll indulge and allow myself the luxury of vegging out in front of the TV.

Things I've accomplished:

  • Making it to work
  • Effectively doing my work
  • Ate raw food
  • Worked on my novel
  • Effectively communicated with others
  • Fixed pictures I will add to my Flickr account

Things I would’ve preferred went differently:

  • Complete the copies staring at me at work
  • Had the energetic wherewithal to participate in the writer’s group meeting
  • Had the energetic wherewithal to work on other projects, or at least to read
  • Stayed on the strictly raw food plan.

Crispy, creamy, wholesome and sweet,
This dish of life, a whirlwind treat.

With movers, shakers, some waiting it out,
Join me now if you dare, with nary a doubt.
