I mostly sat around all day today.

Did a little work, but mostly sat around.

And it's amazing what sitting around all day will do for my self-worth.  After a few hours, I begin to think I'm incapable of doing anything but sit around all day.

Even getting a drink of water becomes a great accomplishment---because I have to debate in my head for an entire hour and twenty-seven minutes whether or not I really need water. 

This thought actually went through my head today: "Isn't 'necessity for life' sort of an exaggeration, really?  Because sure, you can go get the water.  But then eventually you'll just have to get up and go to the bathroom and we all know THAT'S not worth the effort."

But I did go get the drink of water.

And then I started to get all proud of myself.  Like I just ran a marathon or something.  "Look at me.  I'm a can-do kind of person.  Water?  Cups?  No problem.  I can handle it.  Lickety split."

I think I need a refrigerator in the living room. 

Or a recliner in the kitchen. 

Whichever really.
