One of the issues here, for me, is we have this large tiled walk-in shower. (It was put in by the previous owners who needed a handicapped-accessible shower.) And the whole thing has to be wiped down thoroughly after use, which is my job. This takes a good half hour or so I'd estimate since, as with anything I do, I've become quite obsessed with doing the absolute best job I can, so I keep adding new elements to task.

So, anyway, this is all a pretty mindless job. And it results in lots of time for my mind to wonder hither-&-yon where I inevitably get stuck sooner-or-later on some thought. Sometimes I'll be working along towel-drying the shower & suddenly realize that for the past who knows how many minutes my mind has been completely consumed by some outlandish thought such as what I think the U.S. government should do given that the pres has Covid-19... as if I would have anything whatsoever to say about something like that! To be honest, though, I also spend a lot of time stuck on telling myself how much I wish I would just die... & thinking about (natural) ways in which that might occur. After all... I'm plenty old enough for it to happen. In the past, I used to sometimes get stuck on such things as conversations I'd had with other people as well. But since I almost never have any conversations with anyone anymore, that tends to be less of a problem now.
