I have read a chapter of the book that was assigned to me 6 months ago by my T, stared at the first page of the newly assigned reading, debating about whether or not to start it or the book that I really want to read, and previewed all of my recent purchases in kindle and nook apps -- all before purchasing the book that I set out to read. I have reflected on my day, from major accomplishments to minute details. I have started paragraphs and found myself at the last word wondering how I got there without remembering the road by which I traveled. I came here to vent my frustration, only to be momentarily side-tracked by the list of unread posts-- reading the titles and wondering what was on the mind of online friends. I'm so frustrated. . . I just want to read the book that I set out to read!
I can relate. I have six, yes six poker books, and I haven't read any.
I keep playing, and when I lose, I feel remorse. Maybe I should have read at least one.
After this reply, I'm gonna read one chapter. The whole chapter. Of the one is on top. The newest one. Not that it matters. Wish me luck finishing the chapter.
