I have a clutter problem, partly from having too many activities with associated stuff that I want to have all "on top" at once for easy access when I switch gears, partly from just running out of spoons before I accomplish enough any straightening-up, and partly because I say too often, "but I might need this later".

Nearly everything I've managed to accomplish since returning from Conterpoint, I've done in the last six hours. But hey, I did at least get something done -- the drums are moved away from the basement door, so I can do laundry once I catch my breath; there's finally a path to the vacuum cleaner that I'm too exhausted to use; and ( what's done and not done... )

Conterpoint was fun but took a lot out of me. Still recovering. The muggy weather isn't helping. *shrug*

Very bad day yesterday. (Actually, it started going wrong the night before.) Bad enough that describing it in detail in the least-whiny way possible would still warrant a "whine" tag on this entry, not just an "argh".
*sigh*

It was one of those bad days when problems had effects on other ( Read more... )

Despite slightly more comfortable weather (81°F/51%) I'm not having a very comfortable day. Listless, dizzy, achy -- and though I get hungry, I really don't feel like cooking, or even eatingall I want to do is drink, and I don't reall want to drink water ( Read more... )

Ow ow ow ow ow and yuck.

I just sliced open the tip of my little toe. (When it happened, I thought I'd just munged the toenail. Nope, a flap of skin, meaning a larger (but still fortunately small) quantity of blood to wipe up.) I'm really not sure how I managed to do that, since it didn't feel like I whacked it that hard (enough to burst the skin ( Read more... )
