Oog.

Had a lovely gaming night last night, but as a result was up until 1am, when my usual bedtime on an off night is usual more like 10pm. Got home and slept on the sofa so as not to wake [livejournal.com profile] pdaughter, but she ended up sleeping badly anyway, which sucks. I didn't sleep especially well either, as I'm always subconsciously worried about falling off the sofa when I'm asleep and tend to wake up every 30 minutes to an hour when I do that.

I am feeling the effects of yesterday's shovelling, too, probably unaided by the time spent on the sofa. Had weird dreams about my family and my godparents visiting at or around Christmas and each wanting to avoid the others because they'd had a falling out which no one would explain to me. It was a bit distressing.

I didn't end up making a proper plan for today, so I'm feeling useless and stupid. I still have a list of things to do while I'm home, so I will try to get myself set up to do more tidying in the bedroom, take the dog for a walk, and maybe go to Costco today instead of tomorrow the way I'd originally planned. I'll discuss it with [livejournal.com profile] pdaughter and see what she thinks.

Yesterday I cleaned the coffee pot as it's been leaking and doing other worrisome things. It's very clean now but it appears to still be leaking somewhat. I am at a loss as to what I can do differently so as not to have small puddles of coffee at the base of the pot. :/ The bathroom and kitchen are clean, at least, and I did get most of the shovelling done. I should try to get out on the balcony again, but I think I missed my window of slightly warmer weather in which shovelling would be easier. I'm just praying for not as much snow for the next week so that we'll have time to breathe in-between snowfalls. I also got salt/de-icing stuff from Canadian Tire which will hopefully help keep the front stoop clear.

I was listening to the iProcrastinate podcast yesterday, and apparently there's an Excel spreadsheet made by someone in the North of England to help with the "un-schedule." I'm going to try to find it and see if it works for me. Thus far I've been jotting it down on paper in list form, but I find that system a little inflexible for the inevitable moment in which I remember three things I've forgotten to put into the schedule. I seem to end up with a lot of arrows and asterisks.

Okay. I've done the cat litter and made coffee, so my morning isn't a total failure, but I'm not really doing as much as I should (mostly because I've tried to squeeze in this LJ update). I need to take the dog out and maybe get in a shower before getting dressed, and then try to be more productive. I feel like I'm being lazy.

Bean is getting help putting all his new Playmobile (or "Playmobimol" as he calls it) together. He sounds very excited. :)
