Out in the shed...

All my grandiose plans have gone on hold, in favor of spending most of my time trying to organize the garage so that I can move the necessary stuff into it in order to install my own sweet luscious kitchen.

As usually I've gotten manically focused on this and hence put off or forgotten to do most of the other stuff I need/want to do. You know, stuff like:

Getting internets
Renewing my passport
Applying for citizenship
Going swimming
Finishing my translations for work
Planting a garden
Brewing beer
Making biodiesel
ect.

I haven't even been blogging, despite the absolute wealth of things I want to write about.

About the only non-garage related thing I've managed to do was march in the May Day "Parade" wearing a respirator with a sign that said "GASISMI" crossed out.

What can I say "GAS GAS GAS!" is my new obsession.

Not exactly a model remodel...

So as is obvious from the last couple of posts. I've gotten all gloomy and melancholy and grouchy.

Again.

I apologize dear blogadytes.

Thing is though, I can't seem to shake it. Which worries me. I have a long and frankly disastrous relationship with Madame Melancholy (as well as her sisters Mary Mania and Clinica D'Pression) and I know that when I get like this there's a chance it might get worse.

So I try to get enough sleep, work out, take my lýsi, and relax like all the nice (although frankly all-too-often incompetent) doctors tell you to.




Yet I'm still just tired, unmotivated, and grumpy all the damned time.



Part of it is a very hard to shake anger/sadness cocktail resulting from the stupidity of last July, part of it is the inertia of living out of a suitcase for this long, and part of it is grandma. Add in a healthy dose of I've-been-working-overtime-galore-to-pay-for-a-ticket-home and a pinch of the-last-thing-I-wanna-do-after-being-surrounded-by-screaming-children-all-day-is drill-holes-in-concrete and you get a very unmotivated Sma.

But I can't keep going like this. The landclan (as opposed to a single landlord/lady I've got a whole mess of relatives involved in my housing situation) is getting pissed about the lack o' progress on the remodel front, so if I want to have any sort of say about what kind of kitchen I get, I'm gonna have to get my ass in gear and take charge again.

So tired or not, grumpy or nay, I've got to paint and drill and tile and chisel and all that all this weekend and all the next.

Anyone up to coming over to help?
