Jul. 28th, 2011 07:28 pmWell, I've been wondering what to write for my first post here. Since I don't have that much time tonight, I'll just make a list of things that I need to do and/or worry about in the next few days.
Work
It's going well. I am excited about a switch to a new computer system that is supposed to create an entirely paper-free office. I just can't imagine functioning without files.
Home
Chaotic as usual. It was Joseph's first birthday yesterday and also Jamie's gf Kari's. For Joseph we bought a cake and ice cream and enjoyed it at home. For Kari's, a group of about 50 went up to her parents' cottage for the weekend, and last night Jamie took her out to a Brazilian restaurant for dinner. I've had to do an inordinate amount of paperwork lately...filling in all sorts of forms for this and that and the other...which I'm not used to, and found exhausting. And I am reading Book Five in GRR Martin's epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, trying not to read it too fast. But it's so difficult not to, because it's so compelling and I just want to rush through it.
Thoughts/Reflections
I feel the summer is half over and I haven't accomplished anything I meant to do. And that's despite being off on vacation for three weeks, staying at home, but still accomplishing next to nothing. Frustration is building. Should I just shrug off that tense feeling and forget it? Or should I try getting my ass moving and getting something done before September arrives?
I do have to get back into my Spanish course before I forget what I've learned already. The windows in the house need a good cleaning, and so do the carpets. I'm struggling with the urge to hire someone rather than do it myself. On the other hand, I could do it myself and put the money I'd save towards the fund for my next trip.
I didn't mean to write this much. It's just rambling, so I'll stop now. :)
