Motivation?

I want to travel to that magical land where my motivation goes to hide. Often, I find myself forgetting about my blog, about my BIG plans to produce zombie fiction, and my good intentions to paint/draw. I have a hard time getting out of bed (especially once the cats have sandwiched me in) and doing more than channel surfing.

I have a job--it is just contract in orientation. I.e. I work when needed.

For zombie training, I think this lack of movement/motivation is a dangerous malady. I mean, if I were a flesh-hungry zombie, I would consider this a perfect time to strike. Zombie Alicia would think, "My opponent has gotten slovenly and doesn't even own a machete." Human Alicia might as well just lay in bed and await the inevitable gnawing on her bones.

How do you maintain your vigilance? What keeps you pounding the pavement with those cross trainers, chucking knife after knife in target practice, and oiling your glock blind-folded while hanging upside down?

Hopefully, I will awake soon and try just a little bit harder to be the best zombie fighter/survivalist I can be.
