Dec. 10th, 2014 04:35 pmYesterday was a slug-day. I got home from work (in rain so torrential that my pants were still damp this morning, despite being hung to dry sixteen hours earlier) and accomplished pretty much exactly zero, besides Tumblr and not going to Squares graduation.
Today I decided that no fucking really, we are going back to the world where I am not allowed to touch computers for an hour after arriving home, and not only that, but I had to repent for yesterday where I was going to follow this rule, but bent it to be all "oh, I can just spend fifteen minutes online, right?"
No. I cannot just spend 15 minutes online if I am damp and cold and unmotivated.
So today I washed my hair and paid the oil bill and made scrambled eggs for lunch, and did a couple loads of laundry, and put away a big ol pile of clean laundry that's been out for ages and tackled the GIANT PILE OMG of papers from the last couple years of teaching. It took me an hour and a half to sort through and get rid of 2/3rds (or more) of the entire pile. I feel pleased.
(Things that I was keeping: paperwork that I want to hold onto for another couple years, like paysheets, really good reference material, lesson plans that I myself actually created and am proud of, random papers that have diary-type handwriting on them that I don't have time to look at right now, and evaluations. Oh, and empty folders and unused workbooks, which was over half the stack I kept.)
I had needed to do this particular papersorting for several years now --I am annoyed at myself because it means I moved two feet worth of papers (height, not volume) for no appreciable reason. Siiiiigh.
It is a much less slug-day. There's still lots to do (my room is closer to livable, but not there yet, and the house is basically just depressing) but I have done some good decrufting today, and I am happy. Now I just need to really start tackling getting rid of stuff, especially if I'm going to move next August (which seems likely, sigh, this household is not working out the way I'd like.)
Whee!

MOOP!
