On my state of mind

Right now, I want to sleep.  I want to eat.  I want to buy things.  I want to read books.  I want to leave, to drop my commitments and go see something.  At least for a while.  None of these are productive, none accomplishing anything meaningful or lasting. 

There are things I could do, things I know I should do.  Fire pit, pruning, cleaning, shelving, insulating, painting.  But I also feel that this is my weekend, my time to do as I please, to relax, do something fun, interesting, or worthwhile.  The problem is that will never get any of those to-do's off the list, and weekend after weekend I will spend my time thinking about how I want to spend my time, rather than clearing that list and truly preparing for what I want to do.  Of course, a number of things are recurring to-do's, so they will always come back.  Can I make them smaller each time?  Or alter my lifestyle or environment to remove recurring needs for good?  I have to start if I am to go.
