Permission to Play, Ma'am? (Blog to Learn, Day 6)

I woke up at 8:30 this morning; these days, I call it "sleeping in." There is something seriously wrong with that! I am antsy and distracted, and I want to do everything at once. Quite frankly, I'm struggling with the idea of actually having fun. It's a bit on the overcast side today, but I had planned to go to D.C. for Sakura Matsuri. O-sake ga hoshii desu. (I was about to type that I had even considered dressing up in pseudo-EGA-style, but I started grabbing clothing instead. Yeah, that's probably going to have to happen. Now, where is that wig?)

I have a few important goals to meet this weekend, and I'm feeling the usual pull toward giving priority to that work instead of adventure. I also have an internal excuse soundtrack on loop: "It's cold...it might rain...it's already 11:30, and it ends at 6...I don't know if I can spend the time and money...I could/should do laundry/wash the dishes/clean up my email accounts/go grocery shopping/work on MIDI-programming/etc. instead...." Since this is a solo adventure, I have no one to hold me to the fire and make me have fun. That should be all the more reason to go AND to go in style.

On that note...BYE!
