1,000 places at once
That's the state of my mind. Here comes a partial data dump.
- I'm SICK of HDTV. My living room TV, once again, isn't getting any signals without random digitizing and signal loss (I have "rabbit ears" antennae, not cable or satellite). This could be a good thing as one of my 2009
resolutionsToDo items is "less TV; more music". (I almost never listen to music at home. I don't know why.)
- As much as no longer feeling special has caused me not to be too concerned about seeing C again, I still want him to show up so I feel wanted. I find that I've been spending every night waiting to see if I'll get a surprise visit, even though I know I won't. When I glance at the clock, instead of the time I see, "NO ONE WANTS YOU. Even stellar sex wasn't enough to keep the one person who was interested in you coming back." It's insanity. I know that logically. But emotionally? Whole different matter! Rejection is a bitch!!
- I had an awesome (almost-)sex dream about Alan Little (long lost love) this morning. He was initially reluctant but my superior skills quickly won him over. GOOD dream. ;-P
- I was feeling extremely icky yesterday. Doing much better today. Another 2009 ToDo: Get GI health DIAGNOSED AND TREATED!
- I was super gung ho about seeing the Rose Parade floats, till I got on the freeway Thurs night (to go see The Party). The second I hit the road, all interest in floats died - too long of a drive, too many people, too early in the day; too, too, too!!.
- I was going to check out the Aquarium of the Pacific yesterday but skipped it due to feeling icky. I plan to try this evening - $10 admission after 5pm (though parking will probably be $10, or more. Stupid when it's only 2.5 miles from my home - but there's no public transit and it isn't a safe area to walk).
- I'd kind of like to go out tonight but can't think of anywhere worth the effort. There's the fat girls' nightclub in Costa Mesa - but I don't think that's what I want tonight. Maybe Puka bar. Probably stay home.
- I resume workouts tomorrow. Gawd help me - I've been a slug for 3 weeks and besides being physically unprepared, I'm also mentally unprepared - especially for a full 2-hr class... with other students. Oh well.
- I might take a burlesque class at Siren Dance on Wed nights. It starts this week so I need to make up my mind (and if it's a yes, figure out funding) ASAP. Working out 2-3 nights a week is another 2009 ToDo. I still have to check out the free Pilates classes and see if I can work classes (not privates) at Nicole's studio into my schedule.
- I'm gonna get screwed on taxes this year due to changing my withholdings (based on advice from my accountant - but I think I screwed up what he told me to do) and having about zero deductions (I barely gave to charity; didn't do any consulting... don't have much to write off). That's going to F up my "budget" for the whole year. So nice to be worried about an entire year's worth of budget on the 3rd day of the year. Which reminds me - another 2009 ToDo: 10% of income to charity!
- I've fallen in lust with a mission style cd/dvd storage unit (it's soooo purty) but it's $300 and I can't figure out a way to justify the purchase... there are so many practical ways to spend that money (which I don't have anyway).
- I still haven't vacuumed. Or put away the clean clothes from last week & the week before. The clothes will get done tonight or tomorrow. But the vacuuming? You can't make me!! Another 2009 ToDo: HIRE A HOUSEKEEPER!
- I'm cold. And hungry. I'm gonna shower and dress and drive over to the Aquarium.
Comments
I didn't get much done today but I did break down and vacuum the stairs. I hate doing that. I even got wounded by the vacuum before I even started (due to my not using the attachments often enough I guess is the bottom line). And then I ate and drank my weight at dinner. It's still kind of early. I can at least turn the dishwasher on and maybe empty the remaining laundry basket, since it's all socks and I don't pair them up.
I have to join something for exercise. I think I have to suck it up and start going to yoga, even if it's once a week for my back, it's so borked and I never do anything at home for it (let's face it, I don't even have enough floor space to stretch). If everything caught up with me so much last year suddenly...I really don't want to venture further down that slippery slope. This is the year I have to push myself to get things done, and that way I will feel better about rewarding myself (with trips and massages and shtuff. I have to admit that all the slacking I did last year did leave residual guilt about all the little fun trips I took.
Okay, I'm off to find something to make me feel less guilty about all that wonderful food, wine, and coffee. Dishwasher it is...well, no. Laundry dump, then maybe movie, then dishwasher at bedtime. Then read.
I forgot your family bday dinner thingie was tonight. Did you post about it? I'm between bars and haven't gone voxing yet.
btw: I don't have a dishwasher. One more chore that rarely gets done!
No I didn't post about dinner. It was very nice.
I don't usually have too much of a problem rewarding myself mostly either, but I think it's time to go all Catholic Guilt on myself to try to get stuff done. If I hurry I can make mass somewhere...ha.
Oh I didn't have a DW for any of my 3 apartments, so I guess from late 97 to late 2003, but it seemed like an eternity, now I can't live w/o one.
But! If I start my burlesque troop and you take burlesque classes you could be an honorary special out-of-town guest star! :)
If it's any consolation, I'm supposed to be in workout class in 2 hrs. I'm currently having breakfast... a can of coke and some crackers.
