Default Why can't I finish anything?

Sunny, I go through those funky times too! Sometimes I think it's
because it's a stage of the project I don't enjoy, and just thinking
about it wears me out! Other times I know what has to be done, but I
haven't done it before and have to work through the whole process in my
head for days before I get the courage to tackle it. And sometimes it's
just because I'm not that crazy about the project and see no reason to
get it done. Besides, you HAVE finished something - your dishes are done
and put away, the laundry is done, and the dog is fed. You've
accomplished quite a lot!

Death by hem! Silly girl! Death by cleaning perhaps, or death by
cooking, but not death by hem!

I am in this weird funk and I can't finish anything. It feels awful.
I've got three projects sitting, ready to be bound (they're little
things, nothing to be excited about) and I can't finish them.

I did make quickie curtains for my bedroom yesterday. Really easy --
just turned hems all around and a curtain pocket at the top. But I
have been trying to get curtains for one of the bathrooms finished for
three weeks and can't. So it's not just quilty things. I mean, it's
sitting here finished except for a quick hem job and then out of my
way, but..... The septic project is over and life should be back to
normal. My dishes are all clean, sink is empty, laundry done and dog
fed. So why can't I finish anything?

Okay, I'm going to force myself to finish this curtain if it kills me.
I promise, DH or DS will post and let you know if that happens. But
I've never, ever heard of death by hem before.
