People can change, but not much.
I had planned on going into town today, but I blew it off, figuring I hadn't run out of everything yet, so why drive to town if I really didn't need to?
That's one of the many problems of being lazy and having too much freedom. If I'm not forced to do something, such as not having anything left to eat, I will put off going shopping until I'm starving. I realize that's not a good thing, but I'm also aware that's the way I am, it's part of my personality, so why fight it?
I'm also painfully aware that the various quirks in my personality are among the reasons I never made a very good employee. I did okay working for others, but I never enjoyed it; I just endured it because that's the way most people make a living. I knew some of the people I worked with would tell me they enjoyed their job, but I could never understand why anyone would want to live with someone else.... "a boss" telling them what to do and when to do it.
But I quickly found out, when out of desperation, I started my first business, why I had always felt the way I did, and had never been happy working a normal job. The answer was pretty simple: I wanted to be in the position of making my own decisions, without anyone telling me what I should or shouldn't do. And being self-employed was the only thing that gave me that freedom, and at the same time allowed me to earn a living.
I guess if you look at my full-timing life, I'm still that way. People can change, but their personalities usually stay about the same, so I'm still lazy and only motivated by things I want to do, or absolutely have to do. Which probably explains why I put off driving into town, but I write a blog post every day.

Sunrise.
So typical of the desert. Dark clouds come rolling in, foretelling a memorable rainstorm, and yet nothing happens. The clouds dissipate, and nary a drop of water stains the dry earth.
Sunset .
