Cleanup today. Weekend slipping away.

[cjsmith]

I have lots and lots to do around the house today.

Every weekend, I start out with loads of energy, excited about how much I can get done in the two short days I have before I have to go back to work. Yesterday was no exception to this. I crossed a lot of things off my list yesterday. Dishes, laundry, sweeping up, a new ISP for my domain, a bottle of wine ordered from the winery on behalf of my mom, a Craigslist "free" post, new license plates finally attached to the car... stuff.

Now it's Sunday morning, and reality is sinking in. The list is too long for the time remaining. It always is. I'm no longer excited. Now I'm just working against a deadline.

I hate that my life is always right on the edge of being completely out of control because a full-time job takes so much time and energy. When I come home in the evening, I read a book, because that's all I'm good for. The weekends are gold. That's when I can really make a difference.

Lots to do before bedtime, and no staying up late either. Wish me luck.

See now that's the problems with lists. They cause stress. If your cats are fed and you are fed and it's mostly clean where someone could stop by and you would be ok with it, then it's clean enough.

Go have a free day! I said so! :)

Ah, but my bills aren't paid and it isn't clean enough for the party we're having soon and I was out of clean socks and if I hadn't switched ISPs my mail would have stopped working on Wednesday. Sometimes I really do kinda need to get stuff done :-(

Oh see I just buy new socks. It's a bad habit, but I do! I figure I probably need the socks anyway.
