Lazy Day

Downtime

So I didn't get much done today. And I have nothing and nobody to blame but myself. But it's okay... I think I needed the down time. I've been pushing myself too hard all week. I only managed to finish up the chest of drawers around 2:00 this mornin. I'm glad it's all done, though. I guess it's a trade-off... either spread out the work and keep moderately busy for several days, or push to get it all done quickly, then recover without having to worry about the unfinished work hanging over my head. The first option would probly be better on my system, but I guess that logic goes right over my impatient self... lol

Putzing

Amway, at least I did get all of my stuff organized in the new desk... found all my pending paperwork so I could get my bills paid. There's just a few small tasks here and there that I can still do to straighten up here in the library, but the rest will have to wait until my new furnace gets inspected and I can get all this shit back into the utility room. I'll try calling again on Monday to find out if they know when that might be.

Pacing and Thinking

Otherwise, my entire morning was shot with pacing and thinking again... this time poring over the floorplan of the duplex I want to move to next year, and figuring out how and where to fit all my stuff. I kinda hate it when that happens... my mind gets wrapped around something, and my body can't sit still. I pace and think and pace and think and hours are eaten away. I usually have to stop when my body wears out from all the friggin pacing (and/or gets hungry). That's what happened today... finally sat down to eat around 2:00 and collapsed in the recliner watching tv.

Until Bus Snob called, and then I was up pacing again. Because, of course, I'm incapable of carrying on any decently lengthed conversation over the phone without pacing or otherwise DOING something. It's like my body feels compelled to keep up with my mind somehow. It drove Pop crazy when I was living with my folks. I'd get a phone call, and he'd demand I leave the room... lol Ya'd think I'd be skinny as a rail by now. *snort*

Evening Veg

So amway, when we got off the phone, I was in "action" mode again, so I finished up clearing up my desk, paperwork, and bills. And now I'm tired again, and my head's beginning to complain at me, so I think I'll watch some more tv for the rest of the night.

*off to veg*
