the saga of the spaz
Things What I Have Done Today (Or, Well, Actually Yesterday, But You Know What I Mean):
1) Was up and moving by 10 am (good, although I should really start getting more than six hours of sleep)
2) Went to the farmer's market, bought basil and peaches (good!)
3) Went to the library (good: picked up a CD I had on hold and two books)
4) Failed to find the ice cube trays (bad; I was going to make pesto cubes, but I couldn't)
5) Wrote (good, obviously; The Story About the Ballet just broke 6000 words, and I'm beginning to realize how long this one is going to be, but productivity is good)
6) Ordered Microsoft Office (mixed: I need word-processing softward that doesn't suck, and I really, really like Word for Mac, but I am not ever going to be fond of spending money)
7) Figured out how to make school's website produce antivirus software (very, very good; I am a paranoid frak who clings to her antivirus software like none other)
8) Decided to reset my passwords (good, as it's been a while)
9) FORGOT (or just managed to not write down properly) THE NEW PASSWORD (really, really bad, since it was, you know, the admin password for the computer)
10) Freaked the fuck out
11) Read two trashy novels (...fun, but now my brain is SOUP. on the upside, I forgot my troubles!)
12) Drank most of the sangria I'd made (very, very nice. sangria is my new special friend.)
13) Went to bed early (good, in theory, but I stayed up staring at the ceiling, so it wasn't all that productive)
14) Got back up, re-read the manual, found out how to reset the password (very, very good, although I do feel like a spaz in a hat)
15) Faffed around on the internet for a while.
...
All in all, I've still got my zebra, but I do kind of want to scratch this day off.
The best moment, I think, went something like this:
Dad: Where's the corkscrew?
Mom: I don't know.
Me: Just a second! *dashes downstairs and grabs the corkscrew from my desk* Here you go!
Dad: Where was it?
Me: In my room.
Mom: Why?
Me: ...because I left it there?
Mom: When? We used it last night, to open the wine.
Me: Yes, and then I used it last night, to open a beer.
Parents: *glare*
AWKWARD! but at the same time, I'm mostly just glad that my parents can't keep track of their liquor supply. Mmm: beer.
