Doesn't mean I SHOULD. That is my new motto. I broke down and had the plumber come out and fix my toilet, and attach the fixtures in my shower. The bathroom is closer to being done, and it's not as bad looking as I thought it was going to be. Grout makes a lot of difference. Now all I have to do is wipe down the grout, seal it, and do the silicone. And clean the floor. And put up an over the toilet cabinet. And buy a stand alone toilet paper holder. Which will get done... I don't know when.
I have the raffle skirt and my costume to make for the Oct 5th show, a skirt to finish for this Sunday (not mine, but for another troupe member), two swaps that wrap up at the end of September (Little Visitor, eeeep, the scrapbook! And a NaNo swap that I'm half done with), a costume to put together for the car/zombie show thing on the 28th of Sept, and the Nerd Battles stuff (though that can wait, or be dropped, it's low priority).
You know how a lot of people (especially at work) seem to take a perverse pride at being so swamped and so behind? Because being busy makes them more important or something? I've never understood that. I hate it, and being that busy feels like a failure on my part. A failure to use my time effectively, a failure to not over-commit, a failure of efficiency... it's just not good. And that's where I am right now. Don't get me wrong, I like being busy and having things to do, and I'll always have a billion unfinished craft projects, but as long as they don't really have deadlines, I'm okay with that.
And I really need to clean my house...
I can't wait for fall. I know a lot of people "hibernate" in the winter, because it's dark, but summer is my problem time. I hate being hot. I just can't get anything done because I'm hot and sweaty and cranky and it sucks and I get mad and frustrated so easily. The winter, though... cold weather is my friend.
I really shouldn't have applied the grout with my hands... they are so dry now and have that sandpapery feel. See? Can (it won't cause any permanent damage), but shouldn't. :/
