I WILL GET THINGS DONE TODAY

Sorry for the all caps. I know you girls have been thinking of me and my lack of motivation for...well, anything. It hasn't been getting better, but it hasn't been getting worse. Somehow I have managed to keep the downstairs looking mostly decent, most of the time. I apologized to Joe last night and he said "it hasn't been that bad".

I don't feel confident enough to make a complete list of what I'm going to do, but I'll start with a few things and add to it:

• Poetry analysis paper, the last assignment before I am officially off school for a week.
• Do kitchen daily chores.
• Clean up desk area (I'm hoping this will motivate me to get things done at my desk more.)
• Shower
  

I just finished breakfast, good for me. I am ashamed how late I slept in - not because I was tired but because it was cold outside the covers. And I was having such interesting dreams, they were keeping me more entertained than a movie! Every time I half woke up, I'd go back to sleep just to continue with the dream. Shameful.

Edit, 12:10

I just got a significant start on my paper! I am so glad I got all my sources together last week and made an outline. I even copied and pasted material from every source I intended to use - so in the same document I have all my sources ready to go, the paper requirements, all my works cited information, and my outline. I really made it easy for myself and I'm proud of what I've written so far.

I started a load of laundry, emptied the dishwasher and started a load of dishes.

Now I am drinking chamomile tea. I know; herbal tea at noon?! But I've had this weird phenomenon lately where even though I'm tired all the time, I am also extremely tense in my right shoulder. I had a horrible headache all day yesterday from this tension. Joe rubbed it for me and it felt like I had a log going from my chest through my neck into my brain. I went to the gym, sat in the sauna, took a nap, stretched, put heat on it, relaxed with Psych, and drank a margarita - absolutely nothing helped. Joe was able to make it feel a little better last night but now I can feel it twisting up again.

I'm sorry, I feel like I'm complaining about a lot of physical stuff lately! But it's reallllly bothering me! I feel like a half-invalid: I can walk but not run because of my ankle; I can chew but not yawn because of my jaw, and I have the ability to get things done but half the time my head is killing me and nothing will help! NOTHING I TELL YOU!

Okay, okay. Sip of tea.

Looks like the house will close March 28! Right now the things I am looking forward to most are:

• No trains
• Angela

Yes, that's it for now.
