Get off your butt and do something!

description UGGGHHHHH!
Sorry. I just had to get that out of my system. I feel better now... I think.
Then again, maybe not. I mean, you know it's bad when your cat is getting on your nerves.
It's just that I've been trying to write this blog for the past two-and-a-half hours. I have deleted everything and started over at least 10 times. I have changed my mind about what to write at least three times. I have changed the headline and resized the photo.
In other words, I have had the worst case of writer's block ever. Or at least it feels that way.
By the time I get to this point, I usually resort to block writing. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a fancy way of saying that I just throw words on the page and see what sticks. Or something like that.
There is another option. They say if you're really at a loss for words, the best thing to do is to get up, stretch, maybe do some jumping jacks or go for a walk. It doesn't really seem to matter what you do. Just get off your butt and do something!
Unfortunately it's after 8 p.m. here, so it's a little late to hit the gym and walking after dark isn't all that safe around here. So I suppose I'll just do the next best thing and take a stroll into the kitchen to get some coffee. It's going to be a long night...
Until next time, "That's life..."
