stuff. from the list and not

serynWe're going to have company in 2 weeks. I should be making a list of things that need doing before then. I am afraid though that if I saw the complete list, I would be totally overwhelmed. My response to seeing that I should do 10 things is not to start on the priority task, or to do the fastest/easiest or hardest/longest task first. It's to look at the list, get upset, then go make coffee and play flash games until I feel better.
I did make a start last week, I half unburied the table. If I finished unburying it, I could get out the sewing machine and not need to hand hem my SO's new trousers. There's like, you know, incentive.
My bathroom needs cleaning. [ETA: lick and promise cleaning done, except for trash to go out.]
I also have a surprisingly large collection of empty shoeboxes. When I get new shoes, I save the box. Because if I need to return them (during the 30 day window most stores offer) then I will need the box. I haven't returned shoes, but I still have all the boxes. I think I have boxes for which the shoes are long gone.
I have a big basket of laundry to put away. I sorted the clean clothes into piles by type and my SO put away all his stuff. But then the blankets we're not using on the bed were heaped on the basket and I didn't notice it was all me. [ETA: done!]
We didn't vacuum over the weekend. Meaning that it's going to be my task this week. Bleah. Though it should come after the table clearing and sewing, if at all possible since those things will make more floor mess.
My SO did, shockingly, call the dentist himself. I'd been dreading trying to explain to the new³ dentist that his problem was so urgent that he couldn't be bothered to call for himself and no, actually I didn't know what was wrong. Kind of hard to make something sound urgent then, eh? On the plus side, this office actually answers their phone. Part of why we're leaving the new² dentist is because he's closed on both Mondays and Fridays. I'm hoping this new place works out.
Last week I only made it to the gym 4 times. I had this crushing fatigue from not sleeping. Sleeping is still screwed up. Today I'm hoping to just stay up. I figure if I went to bed at 3am, got up about 7am (many snoozes), and if I don't nap, I should be sleepably tired by 11pm or so which would allow me to sleep for 8-ish hours.
I finished a knitting project today. It took about 2.5 times as long as expected, and I'm not entirely sure it looks like how I want it to look. It's washed and drying now. If it doesn't work out, I have a back-up plan, both for who will get the current item and for what I can do to replace it.
Lunch today is a weird sandwich. I will post about if it's not gross. [ETA.] I made a turkey and swiss and salami sandwich in pita with hummus. It tasted oddly like turkey and hummus, swiss and hummus, salami and hummus in almost a sequence even when one bite had some of everything. Not worth making again.
My normal IM chatmate is going on vacation, so whoever's the understudy should start warming up in the wings.
Bye for now.
