Oct. 9th, 2013 06:57 amSo I'm milking this damn shutdown:
1. plumbing - done some, getting more ready
2. social time - I've gone out with someone socially almost every day (including our protest!)
3. Gym - I about killed myself, perhaps too much past production
4. Organize - my home problem is more of organization than anything else, though I'm also space-constrained, but
5. Home - I may put a contract on a PG County home, maybe today. It's shockingly cheap though it needs work, and the location is arguably as convenient as where I am now - even more so perhaps. Downsides include everything to do with PG County to include odd local politics and crime, sometimes both. Taxes are high, and it will take money to get the place functional...though I could actually mostly move in now and just fix it up here and there. I think I may get big work done before moving in and save some for later - not sure.
6. Family - part of the organizing, I'm sharing the last of my dad's belongings I got from his wife's place when she moved out via photos to relatives. It's mostly junk but I'm putting this out there as a chance to share stories, reclaim or attain sentimentally charged possessions, and perhaps reflect (even if that is "Kept this, good god why?)"
7. Rest - I've slept a lot and while I've tried to be productive and even play my stupid game, I'm actually taking tons of selfish time. Frankly I need to do more, as my life is perhaps too much on the road and appeasing others. Or I have no idea what a selfish git I really am.
Mostly I could just live in this dusty home with piles of crap all over because each is a possible item of value or project with no deadline. I'm not on A&E yet but I do have trouble throwing things away.
To come:
a) Electronic recycling/disposal this Sat in Arlington yay!
b) old computers to a friend who digs that; newest old computer needs to be cleaned and taken to b'more/Janna (but this new computer isn't quite reliable enough and my backups are nonexistent so it's not time yet...more hours of work on that)
c) clean that fucking oven ever?
d) buy, update, and move into another house.
e) more friend time and drinking
Whew.
