On losing my OCD
Posted on | January 19, 2011 | 2 Comments
Lately I've been sleeping. Sleeping a lot. I try and convince myself that my body is taking advantage of it's childless years, but now I'm pretty sure that I'm just plain lazy. Every morning I set out a plan to run, but it's raining. Or my tooth hurts. Or I had a long night at work. And let's not forget the fact that my sports bra is just a wee bit tight. There is always an excuse, indeed.
Our to the brim laundry basket handle broke the other day and all I did was cringe my brows, silently blaming it's faultiness on age. Our beautiful hardwood floors have wafts of yellow hair on them and I simply take note. Who needs to vacuum when an hour later I go to work, letting the shed cycle begin yet again? It's vicious I tell you. This laziness is not me. My OCD mother = me. So what gives? I say it's mid-winter blues. Or the ache of my missing husband on our opposite-shift work week. Or perhaps my barren uterus. But it can't be pure laziness, can it?
Ideas to fix this welcome below.
Ps: I think the real culprit to my incessant sleepiness is what I woke up to this morning (and promtly slept an hour longer):

I would love to be able to give you ideas on how to fix this "laziness" but I'm in need of the same ideas.
I swear you just described me in this entry. I plan to wake up early every day and work out or even do something simple, like clean one room in the house. It never happens. It's so funny that you blame Eddie because I blame my cats too. haha. They are asleep on either side of me every morning!
My first step to not being lazy was to sign up for that class. I paid for it, so I must go :)
I woke up with FOUR full hours before I had to go to work today, and what did I do? I drank coffee and watched netflix. While my laundry needed to get done and the floors are full of cat hair.
I can't help... sorry. but at least know you are not alone! :)

Haha Katie I love it - we officially are soul mates! There is something about a snuggly cat that makes being lazy seem a-okay! ;)
