Have I mentioned that I don't really feel like messin' with this stupid tree? Or, does the fact that I've done nothing but walk past it all day say it well enough, d'ya think?
I mean, it's not like I haven't done anything today...
I did go to Wally-world and Giant.
And, I did get a shower and wash my hair.
And, I am about to stick my third blank tape in for the "That Girl" marathon.
I hate when I get like this. The mountain of shit that needs to be done is so big that my body just says "fuckit" and I come up with endless "reasons" not to even start.
I can always find something else to do "first". Make a pot of coffee, go to the bathroom, smoke a little sump'in sump'in, feed that animal, pick the eye-boogers offa that one, brush my hair, read that post, check my email, see if FARK has any new posts... it's ENDLESS. Like right now... I need to change tapes, either after this episode or the next one.
And, GOD FORBID, I get "distracted" by something like, oh say CLEANING, and forget to do that.
That'd mess up my TG marathon, know what I'm sayin'?
Can't have that... So, it's one more cigarette, one more cuppa coffee, one more bowl while I wait. Okay.
I just checked the tape and it looks like it can take another TWO episodes, so I'm gonna hafta do something here.... can't just sit here for another hour, doin' nuthin'.
(Well, I could, but I made Sr. and Jr. wipe off alla the Christmas balls last night, so I believe if I don't get 'em hung on the tree soon, they just may end up as the world's shiniest and most delicate suppositories.) And, just by the way... who's been dressing me lately?!!? Right now, I'm wearing a big black sweater, my blue plaid flannel jammy bottoms and black clogs.
wtf? I swear, if I make a fashion statement, it's "Kill me now. PLEASE." Thanks, Dad.
*snerk*
Ah well, if I have to get more and more like either of my parents every day, I'm glad it's Dad. And, gee... now that I think about it, my house looks like the inside of Dad's car, pretty much, so there's the answer to that.
Cool. Now, how would he go about getting this shit done?
Hmmmm...
I don't know. All I do know is that me waitin' for Sr. to do it would be a longer haul than waitin' for ME to do it, so that won't work. Maybe I can use "George'll be back tomorrow, it'd be nice if I were done by then at least". That's almost as effective as "Comp'ny comin'!!!"
If I know people are gonna be here, I go into Defcon5 House Cleaning Mode.
(And, my eternal admiration to whomever knows where that "Comp'ny comin'!" quote comes from because it'll mean you have excellent taste in movies.) *coupla minutes later* Well, okay.
This is "interesting".
(not) Jr. and his buddy Roger are re-wiring the lights in the "pool room" (which used to be called the "summer kitchen" until Jr. bought a slightly-smaller-than-regulation pool table from Roger and parked it in there, so now it's the pool room...). In doing the re-wiring, they've blown a circuit breaker, so I have no lights in the front room or kitchen, thereby limiting where I can get anything done to this room, the living room, WHERE THE CURSED TREE IS! BUT!
I hafta go to the bathroom now.
And, I just got another cuppa coffee (hence my knowing about the electric).
And, I can take my coffee, smokes, tin can with other smokes and alla that shit to the bathroom and my brush is in there, too, so there's 90% of my "other shit to do list". Only difference this time is that I'm about to swallow my first "pseudo-ephedrine" pill.
And, when this one tries to make me tired, I'm gonna take another one.
THEN, I'll be flying long and hard enough to get this crap done. Meaning that I'll probably be up all night, hustlin' around, gettin' all this shit done. That's cool too, though.
That way, Sr. goes to bed with the house lookin' like an "after the tornado trailer park" and wakes up to "Did we move while I was alseep, this place looks GOOD!", which is always fun. Just wish just ONCE that I could be the one to go to sleep and wake up to the clean house.
Just to see how it feels from that side, ya know? *minute later* Okay.
Just checked the tape again and there's enough room for one more episode, so...
I'mina go to the bathroom while it's taping, then switch tapes and get started.
I hope.
Maybe I oughta make a list again...
if I have enough PAPER. Back later.
