this completely slipped my mind
May 30, 2020, 10:30 AM
Most recently, I've been writing blog entries on early Saturday mornings. Today, it completely slipped my mind. Which is an odd thing, since there hasn't been much on my mind recently. At least, nothing that I can recall at the moment, which makes me think that I haven't had a lot of important things to think about. Heh.
But upon looking back over my Five Minute Journal entries, something I've noticed is: what I've been concerned about day-to-day hasn't really had as much variation (compared to the last few months). Maybe that's a good thing? Less things are better. At least, I think so.
The Bees Knees
So basically, I've been experiencing some discomfort in my knees.
I emailed my doctor. No response. Side rante: fuck this healthcare system so hard.
To be honest, there's not much to say about this. I was hobbling around for awhile, try not to walk as much, but then I had to show up at the office for pick up my desk stuff, which included a lot of walking. I definitely felt some discomfort in my knees, but afterwards, it felt a lot better.
So who knows ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Just another event in the tide of time, towards become older (and questionably wiser). These times have not been the bee's knees.
Focusing
I have a hard time focusing. Even on things that I supposedly enjoy. I've noticed this about myself since I've been in college. I notice it every now and again as I'm constantly switching between things on my days off.
I wonder if my lack of ability to focus is why I prefer to spread out more difficult tasks over long periods of time. Like, I'd rather work 1 hour a day for 5 days, rather than dedicate myself to a five hour block of time. Just makes more sense to me.
But then it makes me think about active vs passive enjoyment of media. I'll very often put on a TV show, but then be researching something online. And as I've questioned myself in the past, how much enjoyment am I getting from each activity by splitting my attention in this way.
And then it makes me think about being with a group of friends, and becoming extremely annoyed when someone is just using their phone. Eh.
Junk Removal
Nothing new to me, but my physical space could use a good clean-up. More like a, "clean-out". While progress has been made, things could always be better.
One last time
I headed to the office this week. Since covid hit, and our company downsized, we're going fully remote it seems. I went over to pick off the stuff on my desk, and to see if there was any left over furniture or goods that was good for the taking. Unfortunately, anything of value had already been picked clean. So, meh. It's not like I need more stuff anyway.
And I think that's about it. See? Not much going on in my head this week!
