Got up at a reasonable time, despite staying up too late. Didn't do much in the morning but as I was preparing to go get my hair cut and then get a tent, I got an email reminding me that I forgot to grade a test. So I rushed off to my office (where the exam was; it was turned in physically which is why I forgot about it) and graded it. Then went to get my hair cut. It is much shorter now, to the disappointment of the woman cutting my hair. She though it was beautiful long (I don't disagree but it was getting so annoying so time to be short for a few months before I get to the perfect length again). Then I picked up my stuff at the office and went to Walmart to get the tent (for the camp out this weekend; hopefully it doesn't rain).
Went home and I think I napped for a bit. Then I made dinner and went over to the Arboretum for FHE. Arrived early so I could read Infinite Jest under a tree for a bit. Started out leading a group, which slowly broke apart as I wandered around looking for birds. Among others, I saw many gray catbirds, an eastern bluebird, some swallows and a red-bellied woodpecker. I heard an owl too (at least I think it was an owl) but didn't see it. I love birdwatching. Someone asked me how I got into it and I gave the short story in the most Jacob way possible ("I was very depressed and had nothing to do except watch birds." Someone else "that's nice" (she wasn't listening fully) Me, cheerily "No it was pretty terrifying"). Then I went home and proceeded to do nothing. Except wash the pot that had been soaking for days.
As per usual, I still feel fine, just unmotivated. Maybe I need a catalyst. I don't seem to have terminal insomnia right now, but all the excessive daytime sleepiness isn't great. I've also been staying up late, so I dunno how that factors into everything. I'll go into the office tomorrow (probably after climbing in the morning) and see if I can motivate myself into recording Counting Sheeple. I really need the vocals in so I can build the synths around them. Maybe that will get me out of my funk.
