Caught Up, For the Next Few Seconds

[bookofmirrors]

OK... I've spent *looks at clock* the past 6 or so hours getting caught up on email and LJ... by which I mean I've caught up my friends page, and I've read the email I have sent to Mozilla. I haven't checked my @comcast.net mail or my @imabadlittlegirl.com email, 'cause I haven't figured out how to attach them to Mozilla. And I haven't read my webcomics. So, I suppose I'm not as caught up as I thought.

Well, fuck.

Anyway, that's as caught up as I plan to be right now. I need to get up and take the "kids" outside and try to convince myself to get up and do something around the house. Our housecleaning days have gone all to hell. One of the other of us has alternately (sometimes concurrently) been sick, working, out of town, or something very important has come up. Seeing as how I have more spare time on my hands lately, I keep volunteering to pick the place up, and keep failing miserably at following through with that. And it shows. I'm sure that that's part of simplysakka's mood lately. I know it's been part of mine. Probably doesn't help the rest of the household, either. So... needs to be done, period. And soon, 'cause I'm visiting elorie tomorrow.

For someone with a decent amount of free time on my hands, I'm awfully fucking busy.

And, I'm tired. If I went upstairs right now, I could easily fall asleep, and stay asleep. Bleh. And I wanted to go to BP tonight and see gaeasson's personality mapping thing. Not holding my breath for that, now.

Anyway, we'll see what happens.

As usual, I have some great posts percolating, but, as I mentioned, kinda busy.

Later!

I apologize for my lack of action; part of it has truly been busy-ness, and another part is my concern about my toxemia flaring up again. The doctor did warn me. So I've been on Richard's back about trying to at least clean the carpets and the furniture of the "toxic" stuff, and then I can do more. But I feel like there's a moratorium for me until I can "safely" work in that zone, if you know what I mean...

I *almost* wrote something in my post that said something to the effect of "And if simplysakka attempts to apologize for this, I'm going to beat her. Lots."

The point I was trying to make was that we've all had LEGITIMATE reasons for not working on the house on the originally specified day. And even though I said I'd work on it during the week, I'm doing a piss-poor job of it. So I wasn't upset at you (or anyone else) at ALL. Your beating will commence shortly. :)

And PLEASE don't ask wyzard_vyrnahnn to clean up after the cats. That's MY job, and if I'm neglecting it, you need to beat ME, not talk someone else into doing it. You could ask blckwngdorcl to do it, since he's secondarily responsible for the cats, and beat HIM if he balks.

Anyway, I'm gonna try to work on the house tonight, since I can't sleep. It's a matter of motivation, and when it's gone so long, and I'm alone (and that's NOT a slam - apologies for not helping will get you another beating!) in doing it, it takes twice as much motivation. Just saying.

It'll get done. Somehow, someway, by someone. :)

Well, thank you, love. I wasn't really trying to apologize for not cleaning up after the cats, just my lack of action in general. I mean, I could at least be doing something in the kitchen, or even the office. It is hard, as you probably well know, once things start to "slide by the wayside" to get motivated back to doing it all again.

Our financial situation is such that I might, in a month or two, be interested in talking about a maid service, like we discussed before. It isn't that horribly expensive, and twice a month we could have one come in, and that would allow us to clean every other week (and we don't have to kill ourselves doing it) and then have a professional do it the other half the time. I have some other things I want to get that are higher priority than that currently, so let me work through that, but just to let you know, I am seriously considering it. We are all far too busy for our own good, and since we are all working now, a little indulgence isn't that bad.

I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I do. And believe me, there is no blame or finger-pointing bubbling inside me, so don't worry about that. I am riding an emotional high right now, so my world is a happy one. Like you, I just fear my toxemia/h. suppurativa flaring up again, so I've simply done...nothing. And so far, so good.

I just look forward to once again being able to use the living room/dining room. And I know that day is coming, love. *hugs*

I found out after the fact that you were off today... the day, of course, as luck would have it, that I'm going over to Athens to visit elorie. Bad timing, but I really wanna go see her. Between the 2 of us, we could have probably motivated each other to do some major stuff.

I'd like to run over to Big Lots with you tonight and look at couches. I'd also like to do a search online for waterproof slipcovers. Give me a call when you wake up (or read this, since you must be up already, or you wouldn't have responded). We can work something out.

And yeah, the maid service is looking more and more appealing lately.

SMOOCHES!

Ack! I am having dinner with 2syn tonight and then we are going to catch Kill Bill 2 with Dylan.

Tomorrow night I am working late (installing the new FastAttach software and running our first batch of digital attachments) so I don't know when I will be home. Friday night I am most likely going over to Jeffrey and Lissa's for the night. And Saturday, day, I will be in Macon visiting my friend Terri and night, I will be having dinner with my coworker Natalia.

*sigh*

I suppose it is better to be busy than not. As far as I know, I am not doing anything Sunday, and that is our usual housecleaning day. I know you may be working then. But I am sure we will catch up at some point and talk about all of this. I *do* want to get new furniture for the living room, but probably only after all of the other stuff on my list, and that includes a double rocker for the front porch from Cracker Barrell. *grin*
