my so-called life
Nov. 3rd, 2002 04:15 pmToday is Boomtime, day 15 in the season of The Aftermath, 3268.
I had plans to be productive this weekend, I really did. Instead, I've been fighting off a sore throat that's been looming on the horizon for a week or so and finally decided to settle in. Next weekend will be stressful enough on some levels, I don't need to add to that ( all these annoyances, possibly tmi ). I say it will be stressful because I don't tend to do well in large group situations where I know almost no one, I'm really painfully shy most of the time. At least I will know a few people there, and they'll keep me from sitting in a corner being shy and overly quiet (unless, of course, they happen to be doing the same thing...we'll all be shy and antisocial together! ;) )
So what have I managed to do this weekend? I've scrubbed the bathtub to a point where I am happy taking a bath in it, replaced the old shower curtain with something less disgusting, broke out the flannel sheets with polar bears on and put them on the bed, and started a load or two of laundry. I've also cleaned the kitchen so that I can stand being in it again (and then messed it up again by making waffles this morning with my somewhat leaky waffle iron) and sorted out some of the bills. Hm. Looking at that, I don't feel like as big a sloth as I had, although it still irks me that there's so much more I wanted to get done. Um, Cathy? you're getting sick...it's okay to take it easy this weekend, really. If the living room doesn't get straightened up and dusted today, the world will not end. So, I'll do a bit more housework, keep up with the vast quantities of vitamin C, then go see "Spirited Away" this evening before it utterly disappears from the theaters. So long as I bundle up and drink lots, I should be okay I think.
