I am so unfocused and unable to think well enough to get anything done

What a day this has been.  I have been up late the last few nights, 9:30 and 10:00 PM, yet still getting up between 4:30 and 5 AM.  Which as led to the fact today I can not concentrate and can not focus on stuff, can not seem to get anything done.   I was able to do the dishes.  But every time I sit at the computer to try to read the saved stuff that spans the last few days of saved tabs of websites and comments, I can not get more than one done before getting up and leaving the room to do something else.  I have been helping Ron a lot, but again it was not mandatory, but just what came next. 

This morning after starting the computers and bringing up the old saved tabs, I opened all the newer tabs of comments and new posts.  But all day I can not sit and deal with them.  I want to, I really do.  But not only can my body not settle (all night I was plagued by cramps in my legs and feet.) Now my shoulders are screaming in pain, not wanting to deal with typing or the mouse.  Shit, I am not sure what to do.  I desperately want to get these things, these tabs, others posts, and get comments answered and read.  But I again can not focus.  I think Jill has described this better than I can.  When it has happened to me in the past, I was not dealing with a backlog and did not really care if there was a backlog, but now I am frustrated as all get out.  As frustrated as a rooster in an empty hen house.  OK bad joke sorry.  My other computer screen has movies ready to play on it, yet that doesn’t seem to bother me to ignore. 

OK.  Everyone, I am going to give in and just watch a few movies.  Then I will reassess the situation.  Right now I am in and out and feel like I am in Quantum Leap shifting between times, bodies, and situations.  Great show by the way.   OK, this is going nowhere, and I am still unable to “think”.   Good night.  Hugs

  2. Hugs back, take good care of you.

    Here’s the lecture: Dude, it’s Labor Day. Self care is a thing, and is the thing. It’s hard, so don’t work too much on that, either. But enjoy the day best as you’re able, even though the day is mostly over by the time I’m getting here. Each minute that you’re breathing, you’re enough, and you’ve done enough.

    As to Playtime, ask someone to close all the past stuff, and start again tomorrow or the next time, current to then. I know you can do it, and the doggies loving all that gravy know it, too! We all also know there will be plenty of material when you pick back up, I’m sorry to say.

    Just my .02. I’m not the boss of you. 😉🖖

    1. Hello Ali. I did something similar. I closed the browsers because if the first thing I do when opening the browser in the morning is go to the history and restore the windows with all the tabs, like this morning there were two, one with 39 open tabs and this one with 20. I then watched videos and movies until I went to bed. Thing is I love the comments and I enjoy the blogs / news, but on days like that it is useless for me to try.
      I don’t retain anything and I struggle to understand what I am reading.
      Hugs

    1. Thanks TG. Like I told Ali, I really love the comments and reading others blogs & news stories. But when my head gets like that, it is useless to try. I just have to wait it out. Lucky the browser saves the windows with multiple tabs so I can just restore them when ready to focus again. Hugs
