Day... something.

[smeddley]

It happened this morning. I completely lost touch with what day it was. The neighbors were having a garage sale, and I was confused as to why they were having it on a Sunday if they didn't have it on Saturday. Granted, I was still half asleep at the time, but still. And then I realized it's Wednesday. Which didn't make the garage sale make any more sense, but did at least serve to remind me I only have today and 4 - OH MY GOD ONLY FOUR - days left until I have to go back to work. My office, it is still not clean. :(

I was going to go out and weed today (it's overcast but not raining!) but I don't think my wrist would like that. Stupid wrist.

I also sold my other computer - for a measly $250. Granted, it only has 1GB of ram in it (was it always like that?!) and it is a PowerSpec (I don't hold out hope for its life expectancy!) but it did come with a decent monitor that should have been worth something (though not a widescreen). I guess in the age of quad-core processors I should be glad to get rid of it at all. I just feel like we waste so much money on computer crap. *sigh* Of course I'm just down because I just paid the Discover bill. And after the house payment comes out...

It's funny how my definition of 'broke' has changed over the years. Broke used to mean 'See this quarter? This is all the money I have for the rest of the week'. Now, not so much. Oh, what growing up has done to me. I do need to stop spending money, though. Right after Lego Indiana Jones. *nods* Besides, that should keep us busy for a few weeks, right?

Now I really should get back to my office. At least now I can pack up that other computer! But maybe I should wait and have Mr. Smeddley take a look at it and make sure I cleaned it off well enough (not that anyone would get anything interesting if they ran a data recovery operation - omg, look at all those icons! - but still. I'm pretty sure I got all the programs off of it. And I deleted my old profile, so it dumped all those files. So then. Back to cleaning. *takes a deep breath* Right after I go make some coffee.

Don't clean. Stay online, make a million posts and entertain me. I don't feel like doing anything.

Well, I did a little weeding but the sun was starting to peek out and it was getting hot and sticky. Plus, I was being eaten alive by mosquitoes!

You have to post tons, too, to entertain me!

You should start scanning in and posting those scraps of paper - you'd be cleaning and organizing AND entertaining me! :D

After my string of ridiculous posts yesterday in my sleep-deprived madness, I'm no longer sure I should be allowed to click the 'post' button without supervision.

But then I'd have to hook my laptop up to the scanner, and carry the boxes of crap downstairs, and besides, I don't want to do anything, remember? It might actually puzzle you more than entertain, anyway - Colum maintains that I have doctor handwriting and no sensible person could read it.

I've received stories-on-postcards from Pen. I can read ANYTHING. ;) And it would help you accomplish something. SEE? SEE? It's a perfect plan!

Or you could pick out paper scraps and type it up, then challenge people to write stories around them.

Reading through bizarre old writings makes me feel crazy, though (not that that's hard). And there's a 'welcome to kindergarten' night tonight for the kids who are starting school in the fall, and I have to act normal (which is substantially harder).

Besides, who says I have to accomplish anything? I'm making a human being, isn't that ENOUGH? ;P

It's never enough. You must simultaneously do 90 million things, it's the way of the world today!

Though I do disagree with that - I think people need to learn to take it easy and enjoy life instead of rushing through it.

Um... you could read all about the election wank. It's fairly entertaining.

What about those of us who wish to sit around complaining about it?

[smeddley.livejournal.com]

That's taking it pretty easy, isn't it? Physically, at least. And you can't say you're not appreciating it if you're spending all that time thinking about it enough to complain!

[revoked-soul.livejournal.com]

Well, in that case I completely agree!
