Getting stuff done!

I'm finally getting some stuff done! Last night I got tired of feeling like I was "wasting my time" (that's my pejorative phrase for "relaxing") and I wrote out a big list of stuff I wanted to work on. At the top I wrote in large letters PICK ONE.

I must not be quite so desperate to unwind any more, because this morning I made a schedule and followed it. 845-915 morning pages, 915-940 clean the fridge, 940-950 fold and pin the sleeve hem on the shirt that's been a UFO* since 2004, that sort of thing. I fixed the kitchen cabinet door under the sink because it had fallen off its hinge again. (I swear I ought to put some Super Glue on that one screw.) Did a load of dishes. Purged dusty ancient history from the snack cabinet. Phoned my parents about a potential visit. Cleaned up what the cat did.

Ran into a big roadblock when trying to fix the sewing cabinet doors. Either the hinge adjustment screws are fused in place or I'm badly confused about how they should work. Grr. So I get this LJ break.

I blushingly admit I have more of those than I have unfinished objects. There's a reason I have a seven-foot-tall cabinet that's almost entirely full of fabric. (Add the quilting stash, and things start to look pathetic.)
