Post 1882, Day 178 of 2017

- 2,370 days since I started this blog -
Sometimes, nothing comes. Sometimes, because I write these comments the day after (usually in the morning), an idea I had is forgotten.
The inspiration to write a comment is usually not present when I start. Most of the time there's a tell when tell when that happens: I start with a question.
Today's comment went missing after I got active with my trading as I was just getting going. Then other distractions came into play, and finally an appointment, and then my day really got rolling, and I never got around to this comment.
Now I'm a whole day behind.
Which is a little stressful.
The quicker relief would have been to just make this a 'No comment' day - what I usually do. But I have to admit, the struggle to keep up makes that seem like a cop-out.
There is precious little reason to get down about it - as far as I know, my blog has only one reader, and that is occasional (if you think I'm wrong, comment!). The pressure I feel is internally-generated.
It makes me realize that basing my present around the daily prospect of playing may not be enough structure for me. The non-playing part of my day is kind of like a perpetual hooky-playing style sick-day.
This blog and my trading are what I have for structure. The playing is pretty non-structured, most of the time. Yes, the trading is my 'work', but it keeps me in bed because that's where I do all my computer-related stuff these days.
I'm considering some life-style changes. And grateful to have some choice, and the ability to implement them. Or, at least for the feeling (illusory? maybe) that I have a bit of choice.
That feeling may pass (change is hard) - but the gratitude won't.
