the to-do list that stretches into oblivion

i'm not even going to make one this weekend. i give up. there's too much to do.

and i'm too bushed to do it.

last night i got home, under the impression that i'd be doing one of two things--hitting the laundromat w/ dan and then partaking of my new fave wine, a rosemount shiraz, that's just divine and would take me off-planet after drinking it, or heading down to lakeville for some italian telly with tangee and nicole. however...i got home and we'd been invited to d and c's for gaming.

hadn't been in a while so saddled up the ol' dice and headed over.

now, i love d and c immensely. they're some of the most generous people i know, and some of the most caring, too. but i was sooooooooooooo bored last night that i thought i was going to nap leaning up against the stereo speaker. the concept of the game was fun--you're zero level, you have a profession before you become an actual character class--ie, i started out as a seamstress but am on my way to becoming a rogue and something like a spy. however...the downfall to this is that if i stay in character, it makes it nearly impossible for me to advance into another class. why would a seamstress actually get involved with a group of theives when she's lived a perfectly respectable life till now? d wasn't helping much, in the six hours of gaming i gathered a little gossip and then kind of got forced onto a ship, and then became a seamstress on another island, government employed.

i'm just waiting for dan's spygame, which he's hoping to start soon-ish. he was thinking next friday but i kind of put the kaibash on that due to next friday being the sg-1 season premiere, and be damned if i'm missing that!!!

so we got home at around 230, in bed by 3, and then at 808 i wake up. wide awake. whole day stretching before me. in my head i'm thinking of all the stuff i have to do, and i can't see the end of the list.

nor do i want to. it might be kind of amusing to get up one day and having nothing to do, but i doubt it'll happen anytime soon. i guess life is just one long laundry list of complaints, things to do, and joys. so a quick jot shows me this:

clean up kitchen
take out garbage
look at the snowflakes
take a nap
read my book
relax
clean out the upstairs bedroom
and the garage
and then run to thrift store and drop extraneous crap off.

sleep, eat, repeat. oblivion.

I understand the boredom factor ... and the laundry list of things to do. Unfortunately, I am in the throes of nausea, and don't get to accomplish much of anything that requires standing for more than 30 seconds.

Hope you get done what you can, and don't stress over it. Missing you, hope to see you soon!
