so, most of my posts thus far have outlined the various things i hate with, according to my standards, very solid reasons for hating them. i am now adding cleaning to that list. i have a horrible tendency to allow the state of my room and the height of mount laundry to reach such a pitch that i suddenly can’t stand it anymore and feel compelled to fix it immediately. after seperating mount laundry into colors and whites in two hills of laundry (not tall enough to qualify as mountains), i am taking a break to compose this post while the whites spin at warp speed in sudsy water to soon emerge clean and wet and ready for the second leg in their journey: the dryer. i am sitting on my partially stripped bed realizing that by starting the cleaning process so late at night has essentially sentenced me to a long night of loading loads into washer, switching to dryer, folding half-heartedly, and trying to stuff various articles of clothing into their assigned drawers in a dresser that is way too small which will, as usual, result in most of the clean clothes ending up in piles around my room where they will accumulate wrinkles and eventually be deemed “dirty,” thrown back onto mount laundry before they’ve even been worn. i am so predictable. it’s kind of annoying.
mount laundry and natural surroundings
you would think that if i can recognize such faults in myself that i would be able to somehow change, to rectify. but, alas, this is not the case. i am very good at criticizing (and that applies to all the people in my life), but i fall short of actually fixing the problem(s). oh, well.
so, what’s new? i need to make a “to do” list of all the crap that i need to take care of before the mental list i’ve got going gets so long that it overwhelms my psyche and i just give it all the middle finger and forget it. i really can’t allow that to happen… again. so here’s another list for those of you who choose to spend your precious free time reading about me, my life, and basically just my whiny-ass self.
voila.
very important and vital tasks to perform as soon as humanly possible:
- make a list of very important and vital tasks to perform as soon as humanly possible– check!
- wash clothes– make piles of “to keep” clothes and “to give away” clothes
- go to sjsu financial aid office and get someone to explain what the fafsa form i received means, find out how much $$ i get and how much i’m responsible for
- make appt with prof. bob before spring break to discuss my progress (ugh)
- get new audiobooks from all ears
- go to work to complete on-line training
- list little tv/vcr on craigslist (various vhs movies included!)
- dust, vacuum bedroom
- dust dust dust!
- return that dvd to blockbuster before they charge me to just keep it (zack and miri make a porno– good, not great)
- schedule appt with stanford blood center for platelet donation (i have cmv negative blood– most people are positive so being negative makes my blood particularly valuable since hospitals can’t give cmv positive blood products to preemee babies, hiv/aids patients, cancer patients, and any other people with immunity issues.)
- make regular posts to blog… even though i still haven’t told a soul at work or any of my friends (except shelbs and o. from class) about it
- start taking more pics now that i have nice new laptop and a good digital camera (merci boyfriend!)
- take charlie for regular walks
- schedule appt w/ vet for charlie check-up
- call my chris for hair appt– cut and color (pink?)
- recycle all the bottles accumulating in back seat of car
- take car to classic for good scrub down and vacuum
- pay visa and macy*s bill
- stop making lists of shit to do that i won’t actually do and torture myself for not doing
well, that was fun. probably pointless, but fun nonetheless. today i did manage to at least start the cleaning process and i returned a window shade i bought for the boyfriend’s bedroom in his mom’s new condo that turned out to be too small (of course) since i didn’t bother to measure the damn thing first. well, she ended up buying him a nicer one anyway, so it worked out.
see ya next time… don’t expect any of the aforementioned crap to be done. i was just airing my dirty laundry, so to speak.
