Scattered

My mind is everywhere, so you get bullets today.

  • Work has been nuts. I don’t get too much into work on the blog, but um, yeah, certain pieces of office machinery need to work if I am to do my job. Especially when my job’s entire existence revolves around said machinery. IT fixed it today, so hopefully the rest of the week will be better. But I think it’s one of those weeks. You know those weeks when everyone is super stressed? Yeah, one of those weeks.
  • I’ve been blogsurfing a lot lately. I added a bunch of house pr0n blogs to my reader. One of these years I’ll update my blogroll so you can all see what I’m reading these days.
  • Speaking of reading, I’m reading the book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West right now. I finished up another book (post coming soon about that one), and was looking for some bedtime reading that was mildly challenging, so typical chick lit was out. I can tear through a chick lit book in a couple of hours, and for bedtime reading I want something that will take a few weeks. So back to the book. It’s interesting, but so far I don’t think I’ll read any other books in the series. I might go back and re-read the entire Oz series, which I read in 6th grade. I was such a voracious reader back then. But one day I was introduced to the Great Wide Interwebs and my book intake was drastically reduced. I’m trying to change that, even if the only reading I do is at bedtime.
  • Motivation. I haz none. I don’t feel like cleaning the house, even though there are chores that I know need doing, and it bugs me that I’d rather be lazy than clean. I haven’t been eating healthy lately either, and I kinda don’t care right now. I don’t even feel like cooking. That’s probably the worst one – cooking. Cleaning, I might be able to get up enough motivation to do that on the weekends. Maybe. But cooking, that I just don’t want to do. At all. Not because it’s freaking hot outside. I just don’t want to think about what to eat. I especially hate shopping, because I buy a few things for meals then I don’t feel like making the meals out of them. Having a hard time with that. I might get motivated for a meal here and there, but it never sticks around for long. The motivation, that is.
  • I started cleaning my desk this past weekend. I spent a good deal of Friday on it. I emptied the box that was under my desk, filed some piles, and lost steam. I still have piles, or rather, one pile, on my desk. It doesn’t really look like I’ve done much to my desk at all, except that the box has been replaced with a pretty aqua-colored file cart. I’m at a loss as to what to do with the rest of the stuff. I’m sure that if I was well-rested and tried to tackle the rest of this stuff, I might be able to get through most of it. But organizing my stuff is another thing that I’ve been utterly unmotivated to deal with lately. I want to be organized. I just don’t want to do the work it takes to get there. I need to do something to find my motivation.
  • My cousin made me laugh. Apparently he injured himself over the holiday weekend. It involves fireworks, but it’s not like you think. This was more like a Jackass stunt – the sort of thing that Bam would do to his parents. Except my cousin did it to his friend. And half the town. The injury happened during the resulting mayhem, and is the most popular post on his Facebook page. He’s still laughing about it, even though it hasn’t healed yet. Love ya, E!

That’s all I got for now.

    I guess it’s hard to stay motivated in the heat of Vegas summer! It must be crazy hot over there…

      It’s in the low 100s (upper 30s Celcius), which is a bit cool for this time of year. But yeah, the heat doesn’t make it any easier!

    It’s hot, even I….the original workaholic am feeling the summer blahs and the desire to goof off is tempting.

    Hell..more than tempting…I’ve been playing hookey!

      Yeah, the heat does absolutely nothing for my motivation. And I’ve noticed that the hotter it gets outside, the colder it seems to get inside, which also does nothing because it makes me want to curl up under a blanket.
