It’s just after nine I’ve done nothing but procrastinate all day. That’s not a good sign, since it usually means I’m dreading doing something. Where to start?

post hoc revisionism: It is not actually true that I did nothing. I woke up at 5:15 AM because some unidentified object in my room started beeping and stopped before I could find it. Although there are only a few possible culprits, I was unable to find the responsible party. When I could not fall back asleep (a common malady these days, which is a worrisome sign) I studied Italian for an hour or two and then procrastinated.
