I have been up since about 5 AM. I am le tired, but I have to mention what I accomplished today because while it isn’t a big deal, (hint: if you’re already bored, opt out now and scroll on, no worries) it was a big deal to me.
I mentioned sometime back that lately I have been in a funk of non-productivity which was significant enough that I was finding it rather bothersome… Seriously, I have been mind-blowingly lazy lately… Or would be if I could bother to muster enough energy to blow your mind with my laziness, but frankly even that was a tall order.
Today, despite no significant change in actual energy level, I pieced together a fairly productive day! I sorted through the epic mail backlog that had been heaped up on my desk, I sorted through three years of poorly organized receipts, invoices, and pay stubs in preparation to have my taxes done, I created medical files for both dogs so that if I need to refer to them for any reason I know where to look and can easily find what I might need in an emergency, I cleared the entire yard of dog poop (because in addition to my generalized laziness, I had been extra lax due to the cold and snow of late,) and then I took to cleaning. I vacuumed, swept, and mopped, I did a deep clean in both bathrooms, I did a load of laundry (after four loads yesterday) and I bathed two surprisingly very dirty whippets.
For someone who can barely peel herself out of bed in the morning, and hasn’t had the energy or focus to accomplish much of anything for weeks, this was one hell of a successful day. I am going to bed with a sense of genuine achievement, even if the achievement is monumental only to me and my little less-fucked-up household.
