lethargy (Toronto)

Sky looked really good tonight, on the way home from work... Really clear. Not a cloud. Meanwhile, Stu made a GO call for the Dark Sky Observing Session at Long Sault. I almost started setting up in the back yard upon arriving home. But I had not eaten breakfast or lunch. Was really hungry.

After dinner I stepped outside. Orion was bright, Sirius burning. Mars rising, getting closer to Gemini. Pleiades over head, I could easily see 5 individual stars. But as I walked back into the kitchen, I suddenly, instantly, abruptly felt... I dunno. I can't describe it. Just this powerful feeling that I didn't want to do all the preparation, set up, dressing (for the cold), dark adaptation, calling the neighbours, choosing of targets, making the most of it, all of it, all the work to ready... I just didn't want to do it.

I was shocked at the intensity of the feeling.

I resolved to not worry. Go with the flow. Don't force it.
