another week, another...
I could fall asleep right now but I am going to force myself to stay awake until at least 9pm. I am still sick but I feel much better compared to last week. I have some unpleasant chores ahead of me tomorrow and Sunday, including the dreaded mail sorting. I receive SO MUCH junk but I prefer to shred credit card offers and whatnot (hey, identity theft is no joke) so I pile it up near my shredder until I can open it and verify that I'm not shredding anything important. I also receive a lot of career related material and I feel obligated to at least skim it to remain current. Then I reserve a pile for fun stuff like catalogs or special offers from retailers, which usually end up being obsolete by the time I get a chance to review them. Finally I have a 'short stack' that I am better about keeping up with, for bills. My boyfriend is even lazier about his mail than I am, he saves even junkier stuff like weekly ads for a supermarket we've never bought groceries from. Once I read about a woman who saved all these bullshit fliers and stuffed them in a huge envelope and mailed them back to the company that sent them. That is awesome if it really happened.
I clean my closets frequently but I think I need to do another sweep this weekend. I have a few items that are no longer in the rotation but I couldn't bear to part with them for the longest time, but I started thinking about what a pain it will be to move (given how draining the new job is proving to be, I won't have as much energy as I usually do to organize) and how it would be stupid of me to pack anything unnecessary. I have clothing and accessories I've outgrown, figuratively speaking. I probably also have some books and study materials lurking around that I could part with.
A couple friends, bless their hearts, very tentatively approached me about possibly getting together tomorrow night. We'll see how I feel. A smoky bar probably isn't the best place for a person with respiratory and exhaustion issues. On the other hand, I haven't had a fun night in ages. My parents might visit Sunday, they were going to try to bring my freshly framed diplomas. It would rock if they took me to lunch or dinner, too :-) My recent food consumption is atrocious - heavy on fruit, pasta, and saffron rice - low on protein and veggies. Ok, now my punctuation is getting atrocious so I am going to sign off :-)

You sound overworked Fabdiva! Try to hang out with your friends a little this weekend, even if it's not for the full night - I think their company should be refreshing. Feel better!
Thank you divawho? :-) I agree things are definitely out of balance and socializing would help me chill :-)
