About the time that my interest in Monday Night Football faded and I asked myself why am I watching this? I noticed that my energy had left too.  After all I was in the office just after 7 this morning and I have been playing catch-up all day long.  I am very happy to report that around 2 o'clock I had my copy machine back better this it has been in a long time and it did not cost me an arm and a leg.  I'd judge that I got about 1/2 way back with another 1/2 to go until I an up to the day in my work.  It did feel good to get something done, but it is also still called 'work' for a reason.  I was going to try and get back to my 'book' but my mind has not been able to stray so as to be creative so I will leave that again with every intention of doing it as soon as I feel able.  I know that if I let it the pressure of all that weighs on me could crush me.  So I just don't think about it.  I know that I have to consider it in order to deal appropriately with it, but concentrating on the present needs helps and some of those other things I can't do anything about right now anyway.  So as things rise on my list of tasks to the 'timely table' I will deal with them as needed and save my sanity in the mean time.  I find the little time when I can just sit and think to be most beneficial.  Last night I had an idea that helped me a lot today.  I consider it a 'gift idea' and I will gladly accept all of those that I can.  Anyway, my little gray cells are dull and a little numb right now so a change of venue and a good night's rest are what's required.
