Why is it that when you really have to do something you do everything except that?
I really, really need to work on my article on the consumption of clothes in medieval Sweden and Norway. But do I do that? No, of course not. I check out AIPON, I check the two forums I belong to (one on history, mostly for re-enactors and one for wiccans), I get another cup of tea, I check my e-mail again...
It's like I have some mental blocking against actually doing something. I know what I have to do, I even have a broad disposition, but I can't begin.

I'm working late tonight, I'll stay until six (it's late for me since I'm on 50% sick leave), because a guy at work screwed up a fairly simple thing and I have to wait for him to come back with a paper I should sign. After that I'm going home to cut my red wool 12th century dress. At least that's my plan.
Oops, feeling sick, have to eat something FAST.
Bye

It's known as avoidance - I'm particularly bad with getting back to projects that I've had to abandon part way through - I seem to do almost anything rather than get back to working on them.

My unfinished sewing projects are taking over!
