there must be an upside...
i'm wondering...
if there's some value in some of the things i do naturally,like procrastinate,and doing things slowly. in this world of duality,there must be an upside to it,methinks!
today was a snow/sick day. i'm not that sick,but i've had a low grade headache since monday,and i'm taking antibiotics for a sinus infection,so hopefully they'll take effect soon. since we got a foot of snow today,i thought it was a good day to stay home and rest. i was glad to be home and not to have to dig out my car after a day's work. instead,the snowplow actually arrived before dark,cleaned one side of the building,and so i was able to dig out my car and park it over on the cleaned-out side.
anyway,i could have gotten tons of things done today,but what did i accomplish?
well,i paid my phone bill and brought it down to the lobby for the mailperson to pick up. yes,i dug out my car,which is a chore,but it really wasn't too bad today because it was cold so the snow was pretty fluffy.i called the automated bank line to see if the credit card bill i mailed without a stamp--or so i thought--on sunday actually got to its destination,since it didn't get returned to me for postage. maybe they let it go through in the spirit of goodwill,because i honestly think i forgot to put a stamp on it,but in any event i was thrilled to find out that it had posted to my account. good,because otherwise i may have had to convince them not to charge me a late fee because of my little goof.
that's the itty bit i've accomplished! i basically do all the basic things,like dishes daily,making the bed,laundry,washing the sheets once a week,blah blah blah,but i'm terrible at housework,because i hate it. i could be worse,but i could be better. i really need to do something about my slow draining bathroom sink before it gets stopped up. sometimes plunging does the trick,and sometimes i need to drano it. also,i usually do laundry on friday,and i haven't done that yet either,but i still have a few hours this evening.
i do wonder what i spend all my time doing. well,firstly,i spent 12 hours in bed which was wonderful. i went to bed around midnight and got up around noon. i spent a lot of time reading on lj,mainly lots of stuff about baseball trading. i watched a bit of 'oprah'.
i posted a couple of times here. posted a few comments. sheesh.
i just wish life was lived at a slower pace. i don't mind housekeeping so much if i can do it a little bit at a time,but i always seem to be short of time,even on my two days off,because there are always things to do,plus i'm stubborn and i indulge in things i like to do,like reading. it's funny,because i rarely read books anymore. very few writers can hold my interest for an entire book. but i read a lot of magazines and a lot online. and after a while i'm even too lazy to read,so i watch tv. i like the c.s.i. shows,and i've started watching the daily show and the colbert report,which is bad since i really would be better off going to bed before they air and i can tape 'em but it's just easier watching them.
and i'd like a social life,but i really need to wind down from working quite a bit before i have the energy for that,and i rarely get to the wound down point. i still want a job that pays double and takes half the time so i could work part time! that would be great.

no subject
I'm working on figuring out how to spend half as much money, so I don't need to find a job that pays double, but can still get away with working part time. Full time work just isn't for me.
