my last day of freedom
Apr. 19th, 2003 08:07 am(yes, that's melodramatic)
My mother-in-law arrives this evening, and my space shrinks a bit. I think a large part of it is that she stays in my blue room, which is where I spend a lot of time, doing nervousness, watching tv, just hanging out on the guest bed, which isn't 5 feet in the air like our lofted bed. I'll move a bunch of my crafting stuff into the bedroom or living room, and hopefully that'll help a bit. I started organizing it a bunch the last couple of days, and I'm realizing that nervousness projects just aren't as entertaining to me as they used to be. At this point, I'd be happy sending journals around to the 20 or so people that I know, so that we could do round robin collaborations of some sort, without getting stopped up by the people who I don't know/don't like as much. So I've been slacking on my projects - there's one that I should've gotten out on the 15th that I haven't done yet (will work on that this morning), a couple of hats that I should be knitting (have been sidetracked by the shawl that I'm knitting my mother), and I'm sure some outstanding exchanges that I'm just forgetting about. Blah. Hence, I will cut down even further on my involvement, but I need to make sure to keep some sort of artsy outlet, because I don't do enough with that side of my brain otherwise.
In other news, a friend put up a bunch of puzzles which are driving me vaguely insane. I'm up to number 74, and the connection is being refused when I try to submit an answer, and that should be a sign that I should stop working on it.
Easter tomorrow. Sadly, it isn't nearly as exciting to me now that I don't get presents. At least it'll be a nice dinner at Tim's aunt's house in Arlington. I'm making maple glazed carrots and probably some rice, since I'm just too used to eating rice with every holiday meal, so I feel like it should be there.
Enough procrastinating - must do nervousness stuff.
