Getting Stuff Done / Hak5 / Everything



When you have physical troubles and their assortment of accompanying pains and misery it is hard to do just about anything and everything. I have this essay I'm trying to write for a friend. It takes some research. It takes some being gentle with the wording. It is taking too long. When your body does not work it takes away much more than normal functions, it removes the ability to use the brain. Writing an essay is right up my alley. It is one of those things that should be easy for me.
But the difficulties are not your normal writer's block. They are the kinds of blocks that parallel or result from exhaustion or impairment. There are those moments I can function. Too often though, I use those chances to work on something mundane. Or I might go to an event. Like last night. I just had to go meet the star of Hak5. I did pretty good at first. But soon I had to push myself to the limit. I did my best at pretending, smiling, talking, and looking like an idiot because I could barely function. Finally, I had give up and leave before I fell on the bar room floor to froth about. And somehow, I made it home to frothed about during the last few hours. Now, finally, by what is it (?) 2:30 in the morning, my pains have reduced to allow me to say my thing. What has followed by my experiences with a body of trouble are my failings to complete simple tasks, and of achieving a place of unreliability. Physical problems are far more than just about being sick. They about messing up just about anything and everything.
