Life goes on...
I am heading out to go to the dentist. News you need, clearly. I am not looking forward to it because it's at an awkward time in the morning for me, and essentially is going to make it impossible to do most of what I would normally be doing this morning.
I think I need to start focusing more on being content where I am and with what I have. I seem to spend a lot of time wishing I were elsewhere or doing something else, especially when I'm at work, and that can't be good for my mental health overall.
I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to accomplish this, but I'm going to try to live a bit more in the moment, and procrastinate less. This has worked pretty well for the whole gardening thing this week: just getting out there and doing it has helped considerably.
Part of this is going to involve not watching television for a while, once I've finished the current set of DVDs I have. I apparently shouldn't watch these things without supervision, as I have no self-control at all. On the plus side, it does mean that I'll be finished with them sooner rather than later.
With that temptation out of my way, I'm hoping it'll encourage me to get the small things done around my house. Tidying up, putting order into my bookcases, more cooking, etc. Yeah, part of the reason I haven't been doing any of that is that I kind of lack the energy, but I think that it's probably easier to convince myself that I don't have the energy for it when there are new episodes of Lost to watch. :P
I'd really like my tax refund to come in now, plskthx. I have a few more things that need taking care of, and my wallet still hasn't recovered from my purchases in April combined with a couple of unexpected expenses. It's very annoying to have to worry about this, even though I'm not in danger of going bankrupt or anything. I just thought I had put the days of anxiously watching my bank balance behind me. Sheesh. After this summer, though, the whole "big expense" part of settling into this place and becoming a "real" grown-up should be behind me.
Okay, I have to get going. See you on the flip side, folks!
