Can I Borrow A Cup Of Motivation?

It’s a shame that it isn’t possible to borrow intangible and abstract items from other people, such as memories, or feelings, or beliefs, in the way that you can borrow tangible and concrete items like books, tools, or cooking ingredients.
How cool would it be if you could borrow someone’s confidence, or math skills, or pretty much anything you happen to need?
You could knock on your neighbors door, and along with borrowing a cup of sugar, you could borrow the baking skills needed to actually do something with the sugar.
In my case, I’d be borrowing motivation.
That’s something that’s always in short supply for me, but it seems especially deficient today.
Basically, I can’t even muster up the motivation to do nothing.
That’s what I’d intended to do today: nothing.
I was going to sleep in, then just sit on my ass and watch all of the stuff that’s piled up on my DVR’s hard drive over the past few days.
Instead, I got up after only getting about six and a half hours of sleep and went for a walk.
More than anything I wanted to just stay in bed, and yet, oddly enough, I couldn’t muster up the motivation to not do anything.
Of course, once I committed to walking I soon lost motivation for that, putting in a mere three miles.
When I got home I was not surprised to find that I had no Internet connectivity, as when I was walking I noticed a lot of work that involved tearing up big chunks of dirt and pavement being done, and no doubt somebody managed to cut some kind cable.
So, not being able to idly surf the Web, I decided to watch some of the stuff on the DVR. Instead, I sat at my computer, dug out a CD with some old TV shows burned onto it and watched that for a while.
And now that my Internet connection is working again I’m doing this rather than watching the shows on the DVR, and in the meantime there’s a desire to take a nap building, yet as much as I don’t feel motivated to sit here and write this, I also don’t feel motivated to get up, take my contacts out, and climb into bed.
I’m too lazy to even be lazy. At least lazy the way I want to be lazy.
Honestly, while I do have some food around here, I really ought to go out and do some grocery shopping, but I think I’ll just save that for tomorrow. I have to go out into the world tomorrow, as “Sin City” is coming out on DVD.
So, since I know that I’ll definitely be motivated to go out tomorrow I figure I can do my grocery shopping then.
Anyway, I think that’ll do it for now. I’ll most likely be back later.
In the meantime, I’m going to see if I can go knock on my neighbor’s door and borrow a cup of motivation.
Nah; that would take too much effort.
