this morning i started to date something, "3/16" until i realized it wasn't march or the 16th. how off do you have be to forget the month AND the day? i said to myself aloud, "what are you doing?!" and made a mental note that i needed to get it together. like, now.
my little internal lecture worked. i powered through the morning right through lunch, crossing a ton of stuff off my endless list until it no longer looked so insurmountable. by the afternoon, i had burned through an entire pile on my desk, and before i knew it, it was time to go home already. once home, i decided to switch on jeopardy (which i've neglected for months), and managed to answer question after question correctly, including the final question, which is rare (the 'correctly' part, anyway, and especially when it comes to the last round). i had redeemed myself.
maybe sometimes a mini pep talk from within is all that's needed to turn a whole day around.
