There's a list of stuff I have to do over the break--books to read, papers to write, cards to send out, dishes to cook, lessons to study, even games to play.  The stuff needs to get done. Unfortunately, the spirit is unwilling. 

It always happens to me fresh into a break.  My schedule is so open.  My time is my own. I feel so free, lazy, and slobbish (I don't even want to get out of my pajamas).  I'm distracted by all the family reunions and parties set for the coming days.  The flip side is I feel overwhelmed--there's all this stuff I'd been putting off!  Now's the time to do it. But it's really hard to get started.
