Distractions

errantemberI'm definitely having one of those days where I'm getting distracted by pleasure-seeking, etc. I had this totally decadent, possibly-the-best-hamburger-I've-ever-had meal experience prepared by Joseph, which kicked off the debauchery. Afterward I had several small helpings of the homemade vanilla ice cream I made yesterday. I then proceeded to install a toilet, and now that I'm back home, even though I'm *totally* not hungry, I'm craving...SOMETHING! Flavorful food, porn, whatever. And I think I know why.
Although I've been accomplishing a lot around the house recently, and that was certain one of my main priorities in quitting my corporate job, I haven't really gone into "where will the money come from?" mode yet, mainly because the upcoming trip to Hawaii is still keeping me in vacation mode. However, after the recent Austin Linchpins meeting, I got a reference to Game Salad, which is a system for non-programmers to develop iPhone games. It sounded really great, and worth trying, and I just downloaded it. However, if I use it, I'll actually be working toward the day when I might get paid for something as fun as mobile application programming. And all the little distractions and craving that are popping up are *textbook* signs that I'm avoiding anything to do with "work."
Hopefully as the start of a habit, I'm going to try meditating, which I haven't done for quite some time, in place of scratching that itch.
