on the two types of not wanting to get out of bed

One is when I don't feel like doing anything
but there isn't much to either
lazy Saturday mornings
nothing exiting on the horizon

The other one is more serious
it comes when there is too much to do
typically on weekdays
when what (or all that) I should do feels daunting 
when I find it hard to even figure out where to start
in short when overwhelm hits

and it does now
it has been overwhelming for the last week
and will be for at least two more

the fact that I won that translator contest
leaves me only with traces of happiness and pride for the time being
because apparently I overstretched my capabilities with taking on this long a book
and so now all my waking hours should be spent translating
and so I don't want to do other necessary stuff
because they steal time from translating
and so now I am here 
with my hair badly needing a wash 
with my kefir-funghi badly needing new milk to feed on
with my bedlinen badly needing a change

and yet I do none of these
