Living in the present

Do you ever put something off, only because you just don't feel like doing it at that moment? Rhetorical, right? And then something happens that messes up what you were supposed to do, or you get terribly stressed out, or it something else not great. Thats what happens to me at least. In fact, it happens so often that you would think that I would figure out that if I am supposed to do something at one time, I would do it! But no, I am great at putting things off.

Today I woke up and got very excited to spend the day in the park, or out on a blanket, reading my book. I hoped that it would be a sunny sort of day. I hoped to go out and about in the town. I hoped that this Sunday would feel like a Sunday rather than just any normal day.
I was wrong.
When I looked out my window at 8:30am it was already raining. Not hard, but enough that it would make going out very unpleasant. It was not sunny at all, obviously, and that made me realize something. Yesterday (a sunny, pleasant sort of day) I had made all these grand plans of what I would do today. Saturday I was convinced that Sunday would be good, that I would feel at least a bit productive and I would get out of my room for longer than 5 minutes.
