Mind vs Body (2009)

2/6/09

Been a while since I last made an entry here. The main reason being, there hasn't been much happening in my life. I seem to be on an auto pilot. Wake up, have breakfast, log into orkut, surf the web, apply for some jobs, have lunch, nap, listen to music, go out for a walk, have dinner, orkut, go to sleep. And the same all over when I wake up the next day.

The only thing that stood out was me gaining ownership of IRP community. A vibrant, diverse community which is a meeting place for many Pakistanis around the globe, and whose all urgent attention-needing issues arise at 3 am.

But things changed all of a sudden today. The slumber I've been in for so many days may as well be finally leaving me. I found out today that I need to be in Los Angeles this Monday. I also felt an urgent need to get my hair color retouched before leaving. That will have to happen this weekend. I also need to book my flight there and back and make travel arangements once in L.A. I also need to buy groceries as I have no food left in the apartment.

However, this sense of urgency is being fought vehemently by my lethargy and habitual procrastination. This battle has been going on in my head since morning, where my mind knows I have things to do but at the same time, my body refuses to move from its half sitting, half lying position, with my laptop resting firmly where it is meant to be - on my lap.

How I'll manage to get everything done before I leave is yet to be seen. It's going to be an interesting weekend.
