Just Ten More Minutes

I really wasn't feeling the paint today. I just wanted to sit and let my mind wander. But I also knew that probably wouldn't be good for me. So I tried to trick myself. "You only have to paint for ten minutes, then you can quit if you want." Well I painted off-and-on for the remainder of the time, interspersed with checking in on students and chatting about painting. But while it worked, I am quite irked (that rhymed), and I am currently no longer talking to myself. I'm giving myself the cold shoulder for a bit.

Just to show me that no one gets to play mind games with me.

Not even me.
