Spring Boredom

I haven't been posting much to the blog lately-- in fact, I haven't been posting much of anything at all anywhere on the net- I am seriously going thru a big case of the boredom's! I just can't seem to get motivated to do anything - even though there are things I could certainly be doing.

A few weeks ago, we decided to switch a few rooms around and to paint- when switching my office area around to a new room- I decided to start using a laptop for most things ( basically all Internet stuff and using the desktop only for work orders needing to be done ) - I've got the laptop in the living room and while I'm enjoying being out here watching the birds outside, watching to see when the mail comes, who is coming in the driveway, etc. - I can't help but feel like a couch potato! I seem to have gotten into a routine of checking about a dozen websites a day with my butt plopped down on the couch - several times a day- eagerly awaiting for them to be updated LOL - I'm like a kid in a candy store when they are updated- I'm feeling pathetic! I REALLY REALLY need to get motivated and get some things done - how can I be feeling this way??

I will admit the economy has effected by Gift Can business tremendously- and I think that is what is throwing me all off- I am used to being busy from morning to night filling orders, answering emails, returning phone calls, working on custom designs, etc. - and now, there is sometimes days before I get an order in - I am SO not used to this- I told my mother today that if orders don't pick up, I'm going to go out and get a job outside the home just for lack of sheer boredom! Thank goodness I don't have to rely on my income for bills because I've gone from something being more than full time to something less than part time over the course of the past 6 months or so.

This boredom is leading to laziness- I COULD/SHOULD be designing new printables for the website- absolutely nothing stopping me and I do have daily orders from the website for them- so why can't I just get into gear and design? It's sorta like writer's block I guess- I just have no desire to do anything- therefore, I really am causing my own boredom I guess! I need someone to snap snap snap in front of my face and get me out of this streak I'm in!! I NEED motivation!!

With that said, I've decided that I'm giving myself the rest of the week 'off' lol and then comes Monday morning, I am forcing myself to get back into the grove of things and making myself get things done- I think once I get back into a routine of actually working again, I'll be back on track and more apt to get things done- at least I hope so-- in the meantime, I'm going to sit here and be a couch potato and watch Survivor tonight!
