Ca+ and K+ channels

Do you ever find that the activation energy, EsubA, required to reach the threshold of starting a task is larger than the actual amount of energy, Nrg, required to complete the task itself? Or perhaps it'd be a stretch to say that that EsubA > Nrg, but still. Oftentimes it seems to me that the largest barrier to my getting something done is...myself. Be that interpreted as my thoughts about the task at hand, my thoughts about self, my thoughts about the consequences that come with the task at hand, or all of these... in any case, I'd better stop thinking about the task at hand and instead start wrestling with it.

It's at times like these that I miss the ocean yonder, and would like, before stepping out to face that vast expanse, to make my way there slowly... to attune myself to the hums of the sequoias and the redwoods, to wrap my toes in dirt and mashed leaves, to sit and gaze curiously at the banana slugs passing by.

Oh, forest, why do you seem silent? The wind whispers news from lands faraway, but I care not to pay attention. The messenger will come again, will it not?

and i can't find my teddy bear socks :(  mehhh.
