Sunday Sunday

My house is a wreck, full of trash and nothing put away and who even lives like this? Almost like the physical manifestation of what’s going on inside my head. Bit of a chicken/egg situation, but while I can’t fix my brain in one day I can certainly do something about the house.

[This is a running to-do list, created and updated in small increments throughout the day. I haven’t put it all together at once because I looooooove writing to do lists but I will let myself waste hours getting it just right, and then it ends up being more than I can actually do anyway.]

Get out of bed

Get dressed

Go get a Coke

Take meds

Turn on football

Bag up trash and recycling during commercials

Find something to eat for breakfast [Ironically, the only non-spoilt food in my house is frozen chicken nuggets and frozen waffles, so I get a fancy brunch due to sheer laziness]

Open window blinds

Fill ice cube trays

Finish bagging up trash and recycling

Retrieve dirty dishes from around the house

Gather all dirty laundry together for sorting

Get distracted and cut fingernails (but at least it really did need doing)

Wash 0 1 load of dirty laundry

Put away 0 1 load of clean laundry

Carry 0 1 bag of trash to curb

Carry 0 1 bag of recycling to curb

Wash 0 1 sink-full of dirty dishes

Put away 0 sink-full of clean dishes

And that’s it for me today. It doesn’t look like much, but it’s a whole lot more than I did yesterday. Plus I think getting over the first hurdle of starting will help a lot. Tomorrow is another, slightly improved, day.

Things I should know by now

Grand plans and broad, undefined goals do not work for me. 

Getting beat down and sulking (let's be honest here) because I can't meet those undefined goals isn't exactly helpful either. 

Perfect is the enemy of good; something is better than nothing; and tomorrow is another day.

Today's Extremely Specific and Accomplishable Task List: 

Post to tumblr - done. 

Meet StepBet minimum - done. 

Go to bed before midnight - three minutes from done.

 Woohoo! Well, would you look at that. ⭐️

Friday I’m in Love

I love days that end with more items on my task list than I started with. So I got to the end in one piece, that counts for something, Failing to make an actual plan for today aside from ‘survive’ kind of negates that though.

Morning goals: 1) get up, 2) do laundry, 3) go to work. Morning accomplishments: 1) oversleep, 2) febreeze least dirty jeans, 3) being on time for work would just confuse everyone anyway.

So I have this problem...

For some reason things don’t seem real to me unless I tell someone else about it. Which is mostly fine, except the opposite is also true: if I don’t tell anybody about it, it doesn’t really seem true. Too bad life doesn’t work that way.

I need to get my shit together on so many different levels, but even my closest friends don’t want to hear “I put on clean socks today, go me” three, sometimes four times a week.

And so I think this is a reasonable compromise. I have an outlet to overshare, but without putting my friends in an awkward position of having to pretend to pay attention to No Seriously, I’m Going to Get It Right This Time, version 847.

I don’t expect anybody to actually read this, but the chance that some stranger on the internet might notice I haven’t updated in a while and be judging me should keep me going. Until I start thinking about who might be judging me for needing to announce that I remembered to put the leftovers in the fridge for once and so I’m just going to stop here before I chicken out.
