I feel like I should write about New Year’s resolutions, or tell you about Christmas, except I think the ship has sailed on the last one. (Was good. PB got me some lovely jewelry and I ended up with $100 worth of gift cards to Barnes and Noble. So, too busy reading to write. Yea, that’s it.)
I am also feeling overwhelmed with all that’s on my plate right now. I have to start cleaning and purging for the move. (Anyone need T-shirts? I have approximately 683.) I need to figure out what is coming with me to PB’s, what is going into storage and coming out for our new place, and what is going into storage to stay. Also, will my electronics survive storage? Do we really need a 27” TV in the bedroom? Is my TV actually 27”, or is it 32”?
When will I find time to pack, when I get home from the gym tired, and yet I must be going to the gym on a regular basis, because I need to get in shape and get my blood pressure, which trends toward high (but not enough to require medical intervention) under control? Before it does require medical intervention and/or causes difficulties with, well, things that will be difficult given my age anyway, so I really ought to give myself the best chance I can.
When will I take Orion up to New Jersey? I was originally thinking President’s Day weekend, but my nephew’s first birthday party is the next weekend, and I don’t know that it’s a good thing for his entire world to be changed and then be left alone the next weekend.
I think I need to sit down and break everything down into baby steps. You know, a long list filled with manageable tasks. And then maybe put a ban on TV before 9. I DVR everything anyway, so I don’t need to watch live, and it would take away a major time-suck. You know, if I only watch shows that I really really want to watch. That list is fairly small. How I Met Your Mother, Glee, The Amazing Race, Hawaii Five-O (I can’t help it.), Top Chef, Amazing Race when it comes back, Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters. I mean, in all honesty, I do not need to watch countless hours of House Hunters. And Property Virgins. Hmm. Maybe I just need to ask Comcast/Xfinity to drop HGTV from my lineup.
