While it may seem a good idea at the time, taking a two-hour evening nap on the couch can be disorienting later on in the evening, and may hinder your ability to get things done in a timely fashion — mainly, preparing food for tomorrow’s potluck, wrapping presents, addressing Christmas cards, packing cross-country Christmas packages, assembling a candle gift basket for tomorrow’s gift exchange, and crafting a 2006 commemorative Christmas ornament.

Next time? Don’t give in to the urge to just keep sleeping when you wake up and see that one hour has passed.

My husband is at work, and I require snuggly-time.

*pout*

Kitty-snuggly time will not do. No, I will have to remember to wake myself up when Aaron comes to bed at three or four o’clock, so I can get the snuggle-hug I require.

I would have liked to lay on the couch and cuddle all evening long. Ah, well… such is life.

Time for one last round of solitaire, then off to bed.

I haven’t been posting much lately, and there’s a reason for that. I’ve been exhausted and generally disinterested as soon as Aaron pulls out of the driveway and down the road to work in the evenings. I really can’t get excited about much at all, which is frustrating.

I have plenty of projects I could be working on. The podcast will soon be going on a much more erratic schedule (i.e. I post an episode when I feel like it, instead of weekly). I have clothes that need mended or surgerized. I have websites that need maintained. I have candle orders that need to be filled. I have PUSH DVDs that need to be watched and exercised to. I have blog essay ideas that should be expounded upon, especially holiday-themed ones.

I wish I could just smack myself upside the head and get myself moving. I’m not depressed. I’m just tired.

Tonight: Record, edit, and upload podcast. Wash dishes before bed.

Tomorrow: Entertain Dan. Bake butternut squash pies.

Thursday: See Dan off to Knoxville. Drive to Cleveland. Have Thanksgiving dinner.

Friday: Spend day at home with Aaron. No work for either of us.

I guess what I’m saying is: don’t expect too much blogging out of me in the next several days. I’ll be back with you probably after the weekend.

I’m having one of those weird, bored evenings.

I managed to write out an outline for podcast episode #21, but am not enthused enough to actually record it tonight. Not feeling creative enough to write on the NaNo. Not into testing out my Christmas Cookie candle scent. Don’t want to watch a DVD or read. Don’t even want to play Civilization, although that’s probably what I’ll end up doing. Seems to be my default “I’m bored” activity.

I’m just kind of tired. Not really depressed or anything, just tired. I think I ate too little during the day and too much in the evening, and that might have messed with my blood sugar / energy levels or something. I dunno. Also tired of coughing and clearing my throat ALL FUCKING DAY. It was especially helpful that today was my day to help answer the phones. Good times.

Hey, ladies? Ever had ovulation cramps? This is a new experience for me, and I must say that I don’t care for it. It’s not bad enough that I have to have cramps once a month — now I get them twice? WTF.

So, yeah. I guess I’m just having a weird, funky evening. Nothing a little Civ IV won’t cure.
