Laziness creeping in

There have been a number of events that have sprung up, the most favorable of which is hanami, which have compelled me back into the life of feeling pleasured, mainly by going out, drinking, meeting people and being around women. Not to say these are bad things, but things I don't want to get caught up in because they are only temporarily pleasing. Afterwards, I wake up with a feeling of inertia and irritation, realizing that there is still so much left to do and time is only diminishing. The feeling of general malaise has crept back into my life. Realizing there is so much to do but thinking that if I conserve my energy I can get it all done in one fell swoop on, perhaps, a day off. All the while, I know deep down that a slow, steady and consistent pace is what is called for. A desire to do something fulfilling and gratifying NOW, rather than something that will simmer and build for my future. A love of sleep. But I'm going to jump back out of the funk, even if it takes yet another tumultous event to get the inspiration going again. Hopefully it won't this time, though. I'm starting another school again. Been taking a psychology course for the past 3 years or so, and now a short term class designed to help me FINALLY pass the JLPT at its highest level. I can't wait. Something to focus my mental energy on and get stimulated about. I've fallen behind in exercise. It's been over 6 weeks since I've been to the gym. Time to get moving again. Sometimes I think it's harder to get back into the groove of something you've lost the mojo for than it is to start something new. But I'm going to work on it. Life's a very curious thing.
