Weekend chill time
I haven't done much of anything this weekend. I've had my bursts of energy, sure, but for the most part I've let myself relax. Dad was in Wisconsin helping a friend close up his summer place for the winter, so I didn't have to leave the house yesterday save for the newspaper and the mail. And mom and I mainly kept to ourselves, so we weren't in each other's way much.
I did manage to put a few things away in my never-ending project of finding my room and purging items. I'd also bought myself some nubby Contact-style paper for my closet shelf. It's wire shelving, the part where I have a bunch of plastic bins stacked up, and they've been known to slide off the shelf and crash into the door--or, in one case, to the floor, which subsequently cracked the bin and shattered part of it. Since the bin was mostly intact, I ended up taping over the hole and have kept using it, but what can I do to prevent the bins from sliding? The nubby paper seems perfect. Like, it was hard to even get the bins back up there, and they don't seem like they're going anywhere. Fantastic. And...that's the bulk of everything from yesterday. Today, I worked a bit on my band music, marking what I played for the concert last week and then updating my computer list, and I also redid my camp hoodies. We had four different colors, black, red, blue, and green, and I have a shelving unit in my closet where I keep them. For whatever reason, we stopped using black, so I only have two of those, three reds, and four each of the blue and green. When you keep the blue and green together, they don't all fit on the shelf. I ended up with the blue and red together, then the black and green--the dark blue competes with the black and I can't tell them apart in the darkness of my closet, which is part of why I had the original configuration. Well, at least that's done.
Other than that, I've spent a fair amount of time online or watching TV. It's not exactly how I want to be spending my time, but sometimes you just need to relax. My brain is stressed out over stuff and obviously it's really bothering me, so it's good for me to just chill and take my mind off things. Plus, when you're physically incapable of doing stuff because you're just drained, well, if that's all you have energy to do, so be it.
