Unmotivated Today

As the title reads, I am feeling really unmotivated today. I don’t feel like doing anything except sleeping and maybe reading. I don’t feel physically real great either so there’s that. I know that I really want to be doing some studying towards obtaining my Red Hat certification but I am still reading the same damn paragraph over and over and I just cannot muster the concentration.

I did manage to pick up a two day paid gig for the coming week. I responded to an ad seeking people for a marketing research and focus group. It’s a two day focus group and pays 550.00 upon completion of both days. I have no idea what the topic is about or anything else for that matter. It’s all kind of secret and hush hush. I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement as well.

I need to start thinking about a part-time job and this will get easier once I have access to transportation from paratransit. I don’t have a car so getting around is near impossible and the closest bus stop is over a mile away from me. I am hoping this week I will get approved but it typically takes awhile for that to happen. I am going to have use Uber to get me to and from the focus group as it is. That will cut into my earnings but what am I realistically going to do?

Depression is really exhausting. I am the kind of tired that doesn’t get better with rest. My medicine works, at best, marginally. I hope I have the energy to do this focus group. Well, even if I don’t I am still going to force myself to be there. I am sure there will be coffee aplenty to help. I think it will be pretty boring overall but I am not going to forgo that sum of money.
