I knew what I needed to do the day I discovered Sad Desk Lunch and Pooping on Bluebonnets.
These websites are for killing some serious time. I am not proud of my time management (or waste). In fairness, I was merely linking from Huffington Post's inside information, Sites You Should Be Wasting Time on Right Now. (Careful with your time, HP frequently prints a new list, pulling more readers into the black abyss.)

What I need to do is write. Clearly I have found time to waste in my days' routine. In the hours and minutes I spend surfing the internet in a week, there is no doubt several blog posts and even a chapter or two left untouched.
Yesterday I heard Lindsay Lohan say "I'm constantly thinking. My mind does not shut off." I can totally relate. A mind that never turns off, I'm like her. Minus Oprah and the drama. Well, most of the drama. I've yet to leave my sex list in a conveniently-found location.
My mind overflows with thoughts. With DH overseas and my off-work time filling four-hour commutes and teaching razor care to ever-developing tweens, I'm alone with my thoughts and at times, COMPLETELY overwhelmed. An astute boss taught me long ago to write down these thoughts. He infers it's important to realise we do this not to remember these items, but rather to free our mind of the space occupied by the thought.
I yearn for an audience, someone to listen, someone to react and at times, someone to silence me an equal dose of thoughts, intellectual or nonsensical. Both within reason. For now, writing is my escape and without a doubt, my mind will thank me.
My words may never be a featured blog post on Huffington Post, but I plan to put them out there somewhere. Stay tuned.
Maybe LiLo should consider writing as therapy...for all we know, a blog by her just might end up on the next HP list.

1/1/2015 - Found this while looking for something else. I nearly gasped out loud. I feel this way, too! Never turns off. Write to make room. I do it, but did not until this moment realize why. Thank you.
