Shelving it.

Hey Patron~

 How is the turning point going for you? That moment from the weekend to another wonderful week ahead? Mine has been good! I've been a bit of a lazy one these days and falling into a bit of a reclusive pattern myself. One of those moments where winter is dragging on and while I love the cold it does cause blankets to wrap around me with more frequency along with an urge to sleep in later.

 So much to do, so much I want to do, and where is the motivation when I need it? I can work hard when I need to especially when I want to. I have a wellspring of inspiration and enough motivation to keep the wheels turning. I speak of course not just about writing, but also about things in life. The chores, the day to day, smiling at people when I ought to, not giving into dark urges that would put me away or cause me financial ruin. The motivation.

 Again, I feel it is vaguely connected to the weather. Also I kind of strained my back and shoulders a while back and my job being at a desk often has me hunching forward with horrendous posture. This is the plight of someone with tits as big as pumpkins I suppose. Oh, you didn't know? Wink

 Jokes aside, the cold often exacerbates situations to the point that sitting around and being lazy tends to be the optimal choice in my skewed world view. But hints of spring are on the horizon and I hope we get a nice long breezy spring. Seasons changing revitalizes me. Always does. Summer not so much, but I say that until I get out to the beach and then start to feel it.

 I did manage to go through a shelf that collected a phenomenal amount of dust, look through some old paperwork and diaries, toss away (recycle) some of the less sentimental bits, and that lifts the spirit quite a bit. It was said (By a Japanese priest) that if you cannot pray or give yourself time to be spiritual that cleaning is the next best thing. I believe that wholeheartedly. Cleaning and tidying up that shelf was one of the highlights of my weekend and it was only an hour or two between other 'things I was doing'. Little did I know, looking back now, that it was the thing I probably wanted to do. Clearing out cobwebs and not just vacuuming or dusting, but actually wiping down the spaces takes it to the next level. My fake ass plas-wood shelving hasn't shined in so long.

 Thanks as always for reading my cleaning tips blog, lol. I could go into it frfr no cap (Yikes I just wrote that) but I will spare you only morsels at a time for the good of the realm.

 It also doesn't help that I got my ol gaming PC back from the dead a little while back and have been able to dive into a few games that were sitting around unloved for what must have been a year at least. Got a lot of writing done then, didn't I? Hah.

 Fear not, motivation or not I do have another thing up my sleeve I call willpower which will always be there for me to press forward in all my endeavors at whatever pace that ends up being. If your motivation or inspiration is not there, seek willpower or necessity to aid you in your cause, dear Patron. I will it for you and yours from the bottom of my heart. I even will it for myself where possible.

 This week will see another teaser for EB while I continue to organize my willpower versus the desire to play cyberpunk, wipe down another shelf (I came real close to throwing away a bunch of potentially useful empty cardboard boxes but stayed my hand. Don't want to go crazy.), and potentially eat food as well. Choices.

 Let's have a wonderful week ahead and do our best. And while we are at it, don't forget to take some time to enjoy some light reading and the entertaining fun that comes with it as well.

 Ta ta~
