I don't want
to go to work
No
particular reason, to be honest. Everything's chugging along just
fine there, and nobody's been driving me crazy (which is such a
nice change). I just want to stay home, that's all.
To
be honest, I think it's burnout -- for pretty much the last month
or so, I've been running at full tilt almost every weekend either
trying to get this place unpacked and into shape or running around
with various folks. And while I needed to do the unpacking and enjoyed
the running around, I think my energy levels are finally bottoming
out here. What I need now are two days where I don't do anything
more energetic than climbing up the stairs from the garage. A movie
or two, maybe a little shopping, and a lot of sitting around and
recharging batteries, that's the ticket.
Of
course, to get to those two days, I have to go through five
days of work. Bleah. It also doesn't make for award-winning journal
entries, I know, but I honestly can't think of anything interesting
to write here, things are that bleah. I mean, today I mailed off
the various MSS to their publishers, chunked my paycheck in the
bank and paid off the phone, electric and cable bills for the month.
Updated some web pages at work, did a couple of graphics, and found
out that a project I was supposed to work on has been shelved until
we get an account number to charge for the work. Um. . .practiced
my guitar?
Whee.
So,
no deep thoughts today, I'm afraid. About the only vaguely interesting
thing I've been doing is bantering with Julia on my SFF Net newsgroup
about the waiter from the Blue Mesa yesterday, and why they should
really get their waitstaff tighter pants. Well, good scenery always
adds to the pleasure of a dining experience, you know.
(And
in a small apartment in Midsommarkransen, my beloved is reading
this and thinking plaintively, "She's flirting with waiters?
While I'm stuck here on my own? Doesn't she CARE about me?"
Pumpkin, don't worry about any of this -- it's mainly me being silly
on-line in an attempt to keep myself entertained. You know I adore
you, and I have many, many plans for you when you finally get here.
We'll even go outside after a week or so.)
In
the meantime, however, I'm tired. And I need sleep. And maybe some
orange juice. Hmm, that sounds like a plan.
