I had to be home today because the county inspector's supposed to be here "between 9 and 3", and I decided that I am in the sort of mental state where "take PTO" was the right decision rather than "work from home". Unfortunately, I can't actually go run any errands until the inspector comes and goes, or go work upstairs because I might not hear the doorbell when he does show up. I'm trying to not spend the whole day sprawled on the sofa watching cartoons and being a mopey lump, so I put on my
shoegaze-ish Pandora station and I'm trying the "do 15 minutes' worth of cleaning and then take a short break" method.
Make the job smaller. I can't wait for therapy day, but distraction via housecleaning is probably not a bad thing either. Perhaps if I get some noticeable amount of housework done, I will feel less like a complete failure. :-/
