I think that about sums it up

I am having a Bad Day.

Nothing bad has happened, mind you. In fact, I awoke around 10:30 and fed the cats and had a bowl of cereal and took my pills and have been puttering around on the computer ever since.

I just feel depressed.

How much does that suck?

Mostly I'm just kicking myself for having two days off and not having done a lick of housework. As David Burns would say, I'm musturbating: telling myself I must do this and should do that and ought to be doing that other thing. Bleh.

The more I tell myself these things, the less I want to actually get up off my duff and do them, and the more guilty and lazy and pathetic and useless I feel. Stupid spiralling vicious circle.

I think I'll go do the dishes right now so I don't have to beat myself up mentally every five minutes. I can at least say: "Oh yeah? I did the dishes, didn't I?"

In other news, I wiped my entire computer clean of all the old ICQ stuff I had on it and then downloaded it again, and it's now working! Whoo! So now I have ICQ, AIM and Yahoo!Messenger. Now all I need is MSN and I'll officially need a geek badge. See, the thing I don't like about AIM is that there's no "invisible" feature, so you can't hide from people. I get overwhelmed when I have more than three chat windows going at once, and so I only let certain people know at certain times when I'm online. It keeps me sane. It's not that I don't love you all, it's that I'm not usually able to multitask very well. ;)

I so get that. There isn't a part of my body that isn't screaming "YES YES YES".. well, there is that one spot.. it just itches a bit. Nevermind that.
You "can" hide on AIM, it just takes a lot more effort. I would tell you how, but then I have to go online, then figure it out again, then tell you and I would be hit with a half dozen IMs and then I will be overwhelmed and probably scream and get made at the kids and pretend to kick the dog and the dog will howl and freak the cats who will scratch the dog who will yelp and scream.........wait, where was I? Oh.. there is a program called "Trillian" out there that P swears by. I don't get to use it personally, since it can only handle one user, but it intergrates all of your IM programs into one, and I believe it has the invisible mode on it.

Are you done with your dishes yet? :::stern face::::

*g*

Thanks for the info. Please don't bother with the AIM. If I'm extra special bored I may go and see how to do it later today.

I can't use Trillian sadly, as it isn't compatible with my Mac. It's most vexing. ;)
