the endless rounds

let me just do what i can today. i'm tired. my body's worn out. my brain is tired from running in a thousand different directions. i'd like to stay home and write. it's been 5 months since i've had a vacation. get used to it i guess. this is the work world. those two weeks at christmas are going to be a life saver. 5 months to reach them though. i tell the tired workings of my mind, again. just do what you can today. start somewhere. get through it. and leave when the hands reach 3 and 6. be glad for these early days when you roll out of bed and drag your body out the door before you normally brush your teeth. lunch by the phone, computer, so i can leave early. bring this wreck home. maybe tomorrow will seem less formidable. let me just wipe one of these endless tasks off my plate. let me just do what i can today.
