Keeping on track for the holidays
Things to do today:
• Start tidying up spare room - moved a bunch of boxes into closets, about half of what was on the floor so far
• Mail Secret Santa package - Holy shit! has postage gotten expensive. Giftee is going to have to be satisfied getting her gift before the end of the year and not before Christmas
• Clean litterboxes
• Restaurant reservation for Saturday
Things to do before Friday:
• Finish tidying up spare bedroom
• Clean downstairs bathroom (except shower, that's had the red and black paint scrubbed out so it no longer looks like someone was butchered in there)
• Vacuum
• Laundry
• Grocery shopping - completed Thursday night, after the haircut I forgot to list
• Take car in for oil change, rotate tires, replace serpentine belt (not looking forward to the bill on that)
• Wrap Christmas presents - 95% done, need a large gift bag and a couple of gift card holders and it's a wrap. (I crack myself up.)
• Write more on Kirk/Sulu exchange fic (at 1000 words now, keep going!)
The agitated part of hypomanic has died down a bit, I don't feel like I've got an ant farm in my brain anymore, more like just a couple of ferrets going "ooh, shiny" at every thought that passes them. So, while I feel mentally energized, I'm not as effective as I was because I can actually sit still for a couple of minutes and once I sit, I don't get up. Sleep is still disturbed, but I'm reluctant to rely too heavily on Ambien. I stayed up way too late last night knowing I was going to take today off work and woke up with an incipient headache. Coffee is not helping because I don't do caffeine anymore. ::headdesk:: Okay, this is me convincing myself to go take a shower and get out of the house, finish some of the damn chores!
