yesterday’s attempt at being clever on our group website:
“there are days and weekends when sitting at home becomes a self-reinforcing thing for me. i didn’t do anything last night, and i haven’t done anything today, and though i have plans tonight, i am fighting the urge to just not go. (though i am definitely going, because it will be fun, we are going to see cabaret at the galveston opera house!) but the longer i stay home enjoying the solitude of my apartment, reading, napping, lying on my couch…the harder it is to leave the apartment. a sarah at rest wants to stay at rest.”
and then today i added:
“sure, a sarah in motion also tends to stay in motion. last night after i managed to get up and leave my apartment, i was out until 4 a.m. at which point i couldn’t function anymore, so i came home. this afternoon, jason and i went to the batting cages (i was inspired by my dismal performance at softball last week) and i kept hitting and hitting until the crappy bat started tearing into my hand and i was forced to quit.
though i think that stopping a sarah in motion is probably easier than starting a sarah at rest.”
