tiamatladySeriously, usually by the end of a four day weekend, or hell a three day weekend (except the last one I had) I'm ready to go back to work. Not this time.
After Friday afternoon, I've done nothing I'd like to have done. I didn't budge from the house yesterday, barely got dressed, and that was to run out and pick up pizza, since I didn't feel like cooking. I DID get some updating done on a client, but forgot that I have a more intensive budget project I need to do for them. I didn't get any of the clothes I want to sell organized, I didn't get through any of the boxes, and I certainly didn't get to the storage unit. it's overwhelming, frankly, and worse, I actually justified it. In my head. I've got a month before the Season starts, and while it won't kick in right on 1/1, it will be in full swing by 1/31. And yet again, I have nothing done on downsizing.
Frankly, I'm considering using some vacation time to just GET IN THERE and get rid of this stuff. It would take me making several decisions just stick in my head. 1) that I don't need this stuff 2) that it needs to just go 3) I don't need to see what I can "get out of it" and 4) the places to take it most effectively. Like if I have furniture, where would it be most effective to donate it? Is it worth it to list it on Freecycle and see if anyone comes and gets it? What happens then, and what kind of deadlines are we talking about? I get so crippled by the minutia, that I lose the forest for the trees. PLUS I'm lazy!
I just stopped to review my vacation time for next year, and need to have a convo with OMo'Doom regarding vacation accrual, since I roll over into year Three at this office in May of 2007. (I will have been there two years on May 15, 2007, which I find amazing.) According to the internal docs, I should start accruing MORE vacation at that time, which makes my life hella easier, and will probably give me more time in Germany for Treffen, if I don't have to save it all because I'll get a bit more time starting May. it ALSO might give me some time in December if I don't have to save it for next year, and maybe I might get the few days I need to get into the storage unit, and get to my the stuff remaining in Dorchester (items abandoned by Teh Unit and my sister. I think it's not fair that it's just left and I should go through it and donate what they don't want.)
So I've successfully WASTED an hour instead of working. I'm already dressed and I think I'm going to toddle down to the gym I want to join, as I got ANOTHER free month coupon in the mail yesterday,and if I do it now, I can try it in December, see if I like the place, and reopen my options in January. Work will pay for half, so they will be pleased I'm going to try it not on their dime first.
At least I'm showered and dressed. Which is more than I can say for yesterday.
Time to get moving. I'm making this into a non-wibble zone for the rest of the day.
(I wish I could, Project Runway Season 3 is on.)
