(no subject)
So for the last few weeks I have just been in a massive funk. I woke up, surfed the internet all day, went to sleep. Repeat. Over and over and over.
This is probably for several reasons, none of which are all that interesting, but suffice to say I was avoiding a few things that needed to be dealt with by just not doing anything at all about anything.
I've fallen super, super behind on my word count because of it, but last night my mom returned from her long trip to Japan and I had, I don't know, a sort of epiphany as soon as she walked in and started doing her thing she does where she can't run into someone without asking them to do something (she walks around constantly with lists in her head of everything that needs to get done and, unfortunately, I usually look like I'm not doing anything even when I am. It's a look on my face, maybe.)
My room had, in my stupor, turned into a complete mess, and I spent last night from seven to about two in the morning cleaning and organizing everything, which is very therapeutic to me. My desk, which hasn't been usable for years, is cleaned off and beautiful. I found thirty dollars in change and five un-developed disposable cameras.
I did not realize that I had no chair for the desk until after I was done, though. So, today, after dropping off three or four bags of donations for the Salvation Army down the street, and leaving the cameras at a Walgreens, and turning all that change into cash (yay!), I went to Target and bought a brand new chair. I am now sitting in this brand new, wonderful chair at my lovely, clean desk and, yes, I still have not dealt with most of the things that I should deal with, but I feel better than I have felt in a month. Like I have direction or something cheesy like that.
I have Wuthering Heights (dense), Music & Lyrics (cute), my laptop and a chair (LOVE!). It would be a wonderful evening, anyway, but today I'm going to make a dent in this word count.
Let's do this!
