Feel really restless today. I slept late and that always throws me for a loop. On the one hand it feels good to catch up on some sleep, on the other hand, when I get up at 11.00 am it throws me off. Plus my sleep was still very disjointed and I woke up several times. It's just that I slept in a lot longer than I usually do.

Even though I was exhausted from working hard last week, today I feel at a loss without the work pressure. I can't seem to relax or focus on anything today and I don't know what to do with myself. It's raining hard - just for a change, not!!! - so going for a long walk is not appealing. I probably should have gone into work. There's plenty of stuff there for me to do and it's not like I'm enjoying my "day off".

I am so tied to my laptop. I have several books I want to read and they are sitting here right next to me. But the concept of turning off my laptop and reading a book is so foreign to me. The only time I read is in bed at night. I don't know why it feels so strange to read at any other time, but it does.

I should also be doing some cleaning today. The house is pretty dirty with muddy paw prints and dog hairs everywhere. Can't seem to get motivated though. And so I find myself compelled to sit at my computer, obsessively clicking my mouse. I'm going to try and go upstairs and do some meditation in a bit. Hopefully that will ground me and then I might also find the motivation to do some work around the house.

At least I don't feel anxious today so that's a big plus. I'm restless and agitated, but not anxious. There is a subtle difference!!!!!

Hope you guys are having a good day
