Yes, I need to put a budget together and plan my upcoming classes and register my car in IL and exercise and write a letter and make dinner and re-pot the plants in the window and sort through all the stuff I brought home and fold all the laundry and make the bed and...
In short, I have work to do. But I don't wanna.
Last week my Dad was in town and we went to a few museums. We got split up pretty quickly due to our different speeds, and so I spent the morning wandering around learning things. Or, if not actually learning, re-experiencing. A lot of modern art leaves me shrugging, but sometimes a piece really grabs me. I built my own airplane on a computer at one point, and tried again to absorb how airplane wings actually make a plane fly. (It's seems counter-intuitive, no?) I learned that certain cells in my body are constantly replacing themselves while others stay put for a lifetime. Turns out my gut has replaced itself about 33 times, but the brain I came in with will be with me when I leave. (Gulp.) My resting heartbeat is somewhere between 55-60 (pretty good). I was fascinated by the wave simulator detailing tsunamis.
In contrast, this week there's little to learn. Harumph. I guess the onus is on me to go looking for something new.
I suppose the logical thing to do is stop procrastinating and get some of this work done.
All right, laundry. You and me are going to have a showdown...
