I suck at adulting, apparently
Initially I thought I had only one commitment today, which was going to KK's to help de-clutter. Then I remembered partway through writing yesterday's post that I'd forgotten about my Skype call with my parents (we were supposed to Skype Thursday but both they and I ended up postponing it to Friday and then Friday was the Night Of Epic Dog Vomit so I asked them to put it off to today). And THEN this morning at 4 am I awoke and realized I'd forgotten that I was also scheduled to play Mage tonight.
Luckily these were all at different times, but OH MY GOD, self, you need to put things in your freaking calendar already! I keep not putting my social stuff in my calendar because... I don't know, reasons? My habit is to put work stuff and things like medical appointments in, but not things like when I'm spending the day with friends, or Skyping with my parents, or have a tabletop game scheduled, and that leads directly to my forgetting and double or even triple-booking myself.
CALENDAR, self. CALENDAR.
Anyway, because I forgot about Mage I thought I'd use this post to write about/think through my plans, but it's basically midnight now which means I absolutely have to go to bed. I'm unlikely to start the week on great footing by going to bed this late as it is. I had fun playing Mage, though, so no regrets there. We hadn't played in nearly two months due to the Storyteller getting eaten alive by his job (end of the fiscal year and all that), so it was great to get back into it.
I'm having a mild existential crisis inasmuch as I keep wondering how the fuck normal/neurotypical people get so much done. So many of my friends have families and young children, and yet they seem to be able to keep their houses clean, hold down full-time jobs, keep their kids alive/fed/happy/healthy/entertained, and do cool things like write entire books, spin yarn, knit and crochet gorgeous things. In the meantime, it's a goddamned miracle if I can manage to do all of the basics of housekeeping, my job, and walk my dog regularly. I have so many things I'd love to do, but I'm constantly getting in my own way. *sigh*
I will continue this moment of angst tomorrow, I guess, and kill two birds with one stone by combining it with ramblings about the things I want to do and then never end up doing.
