i have so much to do and no motivation to do it

clean the kitchen and bathroom, vacuum the apartment, swap the cat litter, do a load of laundry, go to my dad's, go to the store, see a couple different friends, shower and then have dinner ready around 8.

and what do you think i want to be doing? if you guessed fucking around on the internet, you win a prize.

I admire your energy, but you shouldn't try to do so much all on one day.

i'll get up early and do the laundry and swap the litter (scooped the box, though). toilet is done and the tub will probably wait until tomorrow, too. kitchen is about half done and will get finished when i get back from my running around. i'm delegating the trash and vacuuming to the husband; i feel a bit badly about that since he's working a long day, but i just can't get it all done before the neighbor gets over. the errands are going to take longer than they should since traffic is a nightmare this time of day, but it can't be avoided.

I have a long, long list of chores. I should be clearing my pasture. Harvesting mint, oregano, lemon thyme and sorrel. Walking the pups. Harvesting beets and apples. And taking my hubbard squash to the basement for storage.

Instead, I'm sitting here with laptop on lap and coffee by my side, reading the lounge. Again. Or still, actually. Hard to say which.

i'm about halfish done with the stuff around the house and already ran to dad's. now it's time to take a quick shower and start the running around in nightmare traffic (well, it's nightmarish for my city), then back home to finish the kitchen.

having to do adult nonsense sucks.

I'm suffering from sloth and ennui and all I do is fiddle around on the internet instead of all the things I'm supposed to be doing...

I have a long to do list of stuff I have to get done. I have the next four days off from work so I figured that I would get a lot done. The only thing that I have accomplished so far is doing the laundry and going to the bank.
