I have a four day weekend. I really just want to sit around and do nothing. Problem with that is, I still pack my schedule so full that I don't do anything around the house normally at least not in a timely fashion unless I make a point to do so. I went to the gym this morning, good thing. I have plans to go to a movie with my brother in a couple hours and then to go to the tree lighting in downtown. In the middle, all I want to do is sit and knit and watch Buck Rogers since I'm halfway through the series. But there's plenty of things that need to be done, that I want to get done around the apt. And with my roommate gone I really want her to come back to a relatively clean place. It's interesting, when I know I'm going to be the only one here for a while I tend to spread out more.
Basically it's just going to be in little pockets of time here and there that I will have to get anything done. Which on the one hand is good, I'm not spending long periods of time on any one task. But on the other hand my brain goes to the 'why bother starting something I don't have time to finish, I'd rather just chill and do xyz.'
I caught up on dishes, they weren't taking over the kitchen but they had been hanging around for about a week give or take. Next to tackle is the living room which isn't bad just needs some straightening. If I'm really good I'll take the stuff to donate to Goodwill with me when I go to Tigard for the movie, that way I can get that stuff out from underfoot as well.
I will have plenty of time to chill this weekend. I need to take advantage of the pockets of time to clean as they come up. At least that's what I keep telling myself. But gosh it's too easy to be lazy.
