Productive Procrastination

mousmeI got nothing done out of what I had planned, but I procrastinated in a productive way, so I am taking the win! I completely cleaned out my refrigerator and scrubbed it to within an inch of its life. It was very overdue, and now it is super white and pretty and nothing in it is expired or going bad or developing sentience.
I also washed a bunch of dishes, scrubbed the sink, and wiped down the kitchen cabinets.
I am very pleased, tbh. I slept SUPER badly last night, and dragged myself out of bed quite late this morning, and I kind of worried that I wouldn't get anything done at all, so this is definitely going in the "win" column.
I'm not sure why I slept so poorly. I kind of pushed myself to stay up instead of napping, and maybe I pushed over into overtired. Either way, I was pretty restless, and I woke up around 2am and actually worried about work? Specifically a scheduling issue combined with the fact that we're now super short-staffed. I was half-asleep the whole time, and kind of dreamed that I talked through the issue with some co-workers, and we came up with a solution in my dreams! A solution which I think can actually be applied IRL and wasn't just the result of dream logic (thank goodness). Unfortunately since I didn't actually talk to anyone I now have to talk to them and get everyone's buy-in, but I think it can work. I have rarely been the kind of person who lies awake at night and worries about work, so I hope this isn't going to be a new trend.
I am heading to bed soonish. Daylight Savings Time starts tonight, and I am NOT looking forward to losing that hour of sleep. I don't know why we've kept that ridiculous practice going. There's very little evidence to suggest it saves on energy, and the week after DST kicks in the number of accidents skyrockets because the whole population is jet-lagged. *grumblemutter*
Tomorrow I will make another attempt at getting errands run and some of the chores I had originally planned done. Tally ho!
