Librarians Need Breaks Too
Well good morning to you, too. After the exertion of yesterday's post and resizing those pictures from the Government In Space book I am feeling a little lazy; normally I would just take a day off and let you revel in the glory of yesterday's library find but I am NaBloPoMoing my way to the end. Almost there- 2 more days to go!
In other news, Chris and I are about 95% moved in to the new place and about 40% unpacked. Having everything in a disarray offends my librarian sensibilities, so I'm trying to get things put away as quickly as I can in between fits of cleaning, straightening, and trips to Target. Chris also bought a new bed and let me tell you, I didn't even know how bad my bed was until I slept on this dream mattress. Oh beautiful sleep- never has waking up pre-dawn been so difficult. All I want to do is go home and take a nap. Alas, I am a busy girl and have things to do every day after school this week. Boo hiss.
I was feeling very responsible yesterday while in the middle of cleaning, sorting, paying bills, and folding laundry. So I decided to take advantage of my momentary lapse into adultdom and make a list of all the things I need to get done in the coming month. Word to the wise: if you're like me and you don't like to have things unfinished, do not create a list of things to get done around the holidays. Reviewing my list I became simultaneously depressed and anxious. Then I lost all drive to do anything more and I sat on the floor in the middle of my mostly empty bedroom and watched Simpson's reruns while eating Cracklin' Oat Bran out of the box.
No need to worry about me though- I'm back on track today. I will get all my Christmas crap done. And I won't even whine about it. Much.

Oh I'd love to sit in the middle of the floor and eat things out of a box.
Maybe that'll be my Christmas present to myself.

Chai: It is an Ikea bed. Sounds uncomfortable, yes? But it's not! It's lovely, and even their most expensive mattress is cheaper than a mattress store.
A: I figure I can get my whining done right here on this ol' blogaroo and spare others from my crybabiness.
W: Yep, eating things out of the box is pretty sweet. Especially when you have a whole set of dishes you just don't feel like getting dirty and washing. See why I can't be a real adult?
