[constance]

I started the day with one of those lists of things to do--you know the sort, the lists so long that you lie in bed when you wake up thinking about it and thinking alone is enough to make you want to pull your covers back over your head and go back to sleep. But on account of the fact that I am a good girl, I got my ass out of bed and showered and got to work, and as a result, I am happy to say that I rock very hard indeed, because I have gotten nearly all of it done.

Here is a list of the things I've done today, because who wouldn't be interested, really:

Written four letters, two postcards, and put together a package, and actually mailed them all

Paid all the bills that were due, leaving me wretchedly poor

Went to the grocery store (though I stupidly forgot to buy Cream of Wheat)

Returned the broken folding bookcase I bought at Lowe's last week

Organized the guest room, finally

Watched three parts of Hornblower <3 and am working on the fourth

Did my taxes (sadly, this year's refund is less than half the size of last year's)

And I did it all under the humiliating cloud of my rainy day hair (it wants to fall in these loose ringlets when it's really damp out and I don't bother to try and straighten it, and I happen to like this look on other people but it makes me look like a fat 7-year-old tomboy whose girly and despairing mother has saddled her with rag curls). And now all that's left are taking out the trash and washing the dishes and finding a place for the few odds and ends that got moved from the guest room to my room. Which I can finish up in a few minutes before bed, and then, rather than rocking very hard indeed, I will rock so extremely hard that I might just fall over.

That is all.

Oh, that is wonderful! I am very proud of you :-*

Current music: There is no place they would not defile.

Matchbox Twenty?

[tofty.livejournal.com]

No, it was a line from Hornblower, which I was watching/listening to as I wrote the post. :O Is that a Matchbox Twenty line, though?

[somniesperus.livejournal.com]

No. I was just thinking there was no place Matchbox Twenty would not defile. *g*

I saw this in my inbox and just burst out laughing! :D:D:D

ps) Your icon is precious! And did you get the e-card I sent?

[tofty.livejournal.com]

I love my icon too! I only use it when I'm trying to impress people, really.

And I meant to write you about the ecard but I got it just before I left for home, and somehow in all the end-of-day activity, it slipped my mind. But! OMG I loved it. I watched it about three times just because those two characters were so fabulous.

THANK YOU!!!! (And I'm sorry I didn't mention it before--I'm such a jerk. :/)

I'm finding myself incapable of accomplishing anything much right now, even though some of it is fairly important. I know that sounds bad but I don't feel depressed - just ... tired. And yet I sleep 8 hours. hmmm.

I'm beginning to think it's allergies wiping me out. Possible?

[tofty.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, yes, I think it's possible. As somebody who spent the entirety of Thursday in a stupor after an unexpected allergic reaction, I can say that firsthand and unequivocally. And while that might have just been the Benadryl they pumped into me, I do remember allergy days when I was exhausted without ever taking anything, too.

But stress can do that as well, and so can depression, of course, and any number of other things. Are you going to talk to a doctor about it? Or just see if it passes on its own?

Another Hornblower convert :> ♥ pleased as punch!

[tofty.livejournal.com]

Oh, I totally am! I've watched all the movies about three times each by now, and I'm halfway through Lieutenant Hornblower now!

♥♥♥♥♥!
