News
I was surfing the top news stories of the day as I enjoyed my bagel and coffee this morning. Yeah, at work....bagel Fridays....it was just for a few minutes...honest. Anyhow. Here I am reading a bit of this headline and that one...Paris Hilton back to jail....something about sleeper cells...some guy winning 54 millions dollars because the cleaners lost his pants....mad squirrel injures three. Typical day stuff and nothing much catching my interest. Well, until the geek came out in me.
Pluto is not only not a planet anymore but did you know there's another dwarf planet out there bigger than it. Makes me go all philosophical and wonder how far out it all extends...just on and on. What else is out there? How did we end up with all the right stuff for life to thrive here? If you haven't ever checked out the
Privileged Planet, you really should. It's all about creationism but even if you don't believe in that it's really fascinating to consider all the pieces that must fall into place for life to really thrive. I know. Such a geek.
Yeah, I read about the
mad squirrel too.

2. Actually accomplish the list!
I made such a nice list and yet got absolutely nothing done last weekend. Between baseball games and picnics we had hardly any time at all at home to get things done. The house is a disaster as a result! It's already Thursday and another weekend is here...another shot to torture my children with chores. The little guy is away for the weekend with his Dad. No baseball games. No picnics. No fun stuff at all planned. Oh boy oh boy am I looking forward to this.
Therapy tonight...not sure it's doing any real good, honestly. I can't seem to really open up and talk about much more than surface stuff. I know it's me that is inhibiting the process but I don't know how to change it. I go in with the best intentions, even a list of things I would like to talk about but once I am sitting there and she's smiling and nodding at me I find myself filling the hour with nothing of importance. Maybe this week will be different.
On the same note, I got me some happy pills. Cymbalta. I went to my regular doctor last week and sat and cried like a fool. He swears these will help lift the fog. I do hope he's right.
To do:
Okay...so I succumbed to that mood the other day and now am so severely behind in just about everything! A list will help right? Help me at least identify the things I'm not doing as well as all the "spring cleaning" I never did.
1. Dust everything including the ceiling fans.
2. vaccummmmm living room (I can never spell that word!)
3. Clean behind the computer desk. (sorry dust bunnies, the heard will have to go)
4. Clean under the couch. (vacummmmmmmm)
5. Take storage boxes that have sat in the corner all winter to storage unit. (This includes the fake Christmas tree in the trunk of the car)
6. Clean out kitchen cupboards.
7. Clean out fridge.
8. Change cat litter. (This I've done recently enough, honest!)
9. Clean out bathroom cupboard and storage baskets.
10. Oh yeah, clean out the kitchen drawers too.
11. Sweep and mop. (Even behind the fridge???)
12. Clean out my closet and dresser drawers. (Force children to do the same, at least this will be entertaining!!)
13. Store winter clothes.
14. vacummmmmm bedrooms.
15. Fix my bike.
16. Clean out the car. (windows, vacummm, trunk, the whole nine yards)
17.
to be continued...updated...etc.

rainy days and mondays....
I feel like doing absolutely nothing today. My house is a mess, the laundry has procreated in the night and is overflowing now, my to read stack is glaring at me, I've even avoided conversations today...and tomorrow is Monday. Oh the joy.
