underwhelmed and over easy

Aug 24, 2007 15:45

I've been feeling a little overwhelmed lately, but also kind of bored. I think it has something to do with the end of summer, the start of September, and the fact that I am not gearing up for yet another semester of school. I'm graduated, got the degree, and now all the little projects I've had lined up for months - years! - can finally be completed, attended to, enjoyed. And yet... I haven't done a damn thing since I handed in that last paper. Sure, I'm going to work every day, and I started up yoga again, and my fledging roller derby league requires a lot of time and attention - so I have been doing things. Just none of the things I pictured myself doing during all those daydreams at the computer when I was supposed to be writing papers. I think I need a vacation, a few days to put my affairs in order, mop the kitchen floor, adjust to a slower pace of living, make time for coffee and writing and mailing letters and embroidering and doing a new zine. I want to make a list of Top Five Things To Do, things that are on my 101 list and things that will just plain old make me happy. I like lists. Lists are good.

Top Five Things To Do

1. Make curtains for the office.
2. Finish projects for craft swap.
3. Organize and clean kitchen.
4. Donate or give away all the clothes I own, but do not love.
5. Make my zine (I have all the text, I just need to lay it out and doodle).

There. That feels better.
