Today, with so much stress that's piled up during the week, I'm going to abandon the chore for today. I was going to move the living room furniture as much as possible and do some fine-tooth-comb vacuuming, but the space was vacuumed last week so I don't feel too bad for letting it go this week. Instead, I got a DVD of yoga from the library on Monday and thought I'd try it out. So far this one seems to be a lot of simple moves, but I'm out of shape enough that so many repetitions are a little rough on me. One of the leg lift/curl techniques I had to stop because I could feel a tendon popping in my knee each time I curled, which hurt and sent uncomfortable reverb through my calf. I can tell that it's helping, though. There's some pleasant burn and stretching.
So that's what I'm doing today. Alternating editing Matt and Kait's stories with one of the four yoga segments on this DVD. There's another DVD if I run out of this one, but I don't think that'll happen. It's starting to get dark now, so I think after I finish editing Kait's story I'm going to do one more segment and take my bath.
There's been a lot of editing this week, it feels like. Lots of financial stress. The latest book box is almost done. Title and sealing. I just haven't been driven to do it yet. Even if I do finish it, I'm not going to be able to put it up on Etsy just yet. We're scraping together all the money we might possibly find in the couch cushions this month, so posting it (there's a fee for posting) will have to wait.
Gotta say, I really hate how people don't call back to let you know that they've seen your application but they don't think you're the right choice for the job. At this point, that's all I can think when applications don't get replies for weeks.
There's the knight game to look forward to this week... Other than that, I'll put in some more applications and do laundry and maybe wind up beating this video game. Tough to say.
