Where Does the Time Go??

I can't study at home. Usually I don't even try, but today BTK is not feeling well and so he is laid up on the couch sleeping which gives me ample quiet time in which to learn something. I parked myself at the dining room table and I'm a couple of hours into the "ample quiet time" and I haven't learned much. But I have eaten some trail mix and what feels like a million Pringles. And Pringles are not a "feel good" food. So, I haven't any noisy distractions but I still can't seem to get anything done. Do you know what I've found very useful in order to accomplish something during study time? I've found that I need a warm body. Yep, a breathing person sitting across from me to keep my head in the book. But I don't have that today. No warm body with me. Only my own. Which has chosen to sit in front of the computer and blog instead of study the notebook in front of her.

Such a sad state of affairs.

If I could, I would pay someone $1 an hour to sit with me and every time I lift my head from reading or my eyes start to glaze over from entering into the large void that is my wandering mind, they would snap at me to "quit messin' around" and "get some shit done!".

Yes, I think that would do it.

Or, I could just leave the house and go to the library or coffee shop where there are people close enough that I won't want to just sit and stare off into space... cause that is just embarrassing when you are staring off into space and you realize a complete stranger is looking at you knowing that you aren't doing what you came to do.

I have an hour before I must leave for work. Time to get some shit done.
