Though I've felt better today, I find myself neglecting chores I shouldn't be neglecting. Instead, I'm doing things that don't add much value, except for self entertainment. I did at least clean up the kitchen, but then I messed it up again. I should at least tidy up my bedroom.

I have been telling myself to finally make Beef Stroganoff. The mushrooms likely only have another day of freshness. And yet, it's not going to happen today. Tomorrow! Instead, I decided to create a new dessert recipe. I've been making that this afternoon. I had to return to the grocery store a second time because I misjudged how much oatmeal I had. Oatmeal was a crucial part of my recipe. Actually, I've become a little obsessed with creating recipes and/or submitting recipes to contests lately. Such hyperfocus on projects is not at all uncommon for me. It's not always cooking, though cooking has always been one of my passions...I guess except making the Beef Stroganoff this week.

Sometimes obsessions with certain projects can be detrimental to me. They go from pleasurable to overwhelming, and yet it's hard to stop me until I crash.
