Gone Mental

I'm so lazy lately. I think it's because I have so many things pulling me in all directions. You know, like poke your eyes out laziness. I would rather poke my eyes out than decide what to do first. And it's really not the amount of things that I have going on right now as much as it is the amount of things I WANT to be doing right now. For instance, I am reading three books, just for my one class and they are all interesting, fascinating, intriguing... I could really use that extra hour right about now.

The one that's really got me is Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy. I can't break free from it. It's about a woman locked up in a mental institution and it makes me feel like I'm in a mental institution because I read it so often and for such long periods that I even dream about it. It makes you wonder if the story isn't real and your life isn't the story. Ugh! I love it!

So tomorrow I will spend the entire day at school trying to be as productive as humanly possible. I may go to the gym after my class, if I'm content with the amount of things accomplished. Either way, I look forward to a day of reading and writing. I think I will start spending all day at school every Tuesday and Thursday. I have class after all. I might as well get there early, get a parking spot and curl up on the couch in the graduate lounge. Yes, I have waited a long time to say that.

This Friday is family night. This Saturday is undecided, other than a meeting I have with a classmate over our upcoming presentation, and then this Sunday has GOT to be a cleaning day. I was able to take down the mummy from the front window,  remover the spiders from the door and bedroom window, put away the hanging skeleton shadows and un-stone our walls. So now it only looks like Halloween puked on the front porch, in the living room and in three rubbermaid containers. Bleh!

Being older and wiser sucks sometimes. I want to O.D. on candy so badly, but experience has taught me better. No fun.
