Why do I feel so fallen behind? I feel like I'm constantly buried and as I knock things down piece by piece in vain attempts to be free of responsibility, more things keep piling up. Like in those tiny pools for competitive swimmers that are only big enough to fit one person and the water flows constantly while the swimmer swims in place. I kind of feel like that swimmer: I'm putting energy forth and I've got miles behind me, but I'm not actually going anywhere. There's no getting ahead. I have a lot of things I really want to do this weekend. The last weekend came and went too fast and I didn't get anything done...thus, setting me back for this week.
There is an endless list of movies I would really like to see. Ones that came out just as I was leaving last fall and ones that came out while I was gone, not to mention the ones in theaters right now.
I'm always debating on what I should do about food. Dinner has become quite the conundrum. I could eat out like everyone else, which is fun and socialable but it costs money, money I don't want to spend. Or, I could make dinner myself. I really, REALLY enjoy cooking (if anyone hasn't noticed by now) but the problem is that the things I like to make are usually difficult to prepare for one person. It's the more economic option, the healthier option, and the more lonely option. I don't like putting tons of effort into meals if I can't share them with everyone else. So if anyone else doesn't feel like eating out all the time, I would be happy to prepare something for a group.
I've got lots of reading to do for all my classes. I think it would be fun to go study at Panera and be one of "those." I could get a cinnamon crunch bagel with coffee and be a snooty student. I think I'll have to squeeze that in somewhere.
I'm in charge of cleaning the bathrooms this weekend. Got to squeeze that in as well.
I still haven't organized my pictures from Ireland yet, or emailed the friends I made over there. Does anyone know how to email folders of pictures without attaching every single picture file one by one?
This is going to sound really dumb, but I also really need to go shopping. Not because I need anymore clothes because I have too many as it is, but because there are a few of my favorite places to shop that I haven't stepped into since the summer and I swore that as soon as I got back I would spend an afternoon shopping around and visiting those places. More for a peace of mind than anything. Like a tick. I missed so many stores and restaurants that it was like having a sheet of bubble wrap and feeling like I HAD to pop every single bubble. There are still some bubbles left full of air and I have to pop them soon, lest explode.
Must Shop.
