Lyndi's post about "nothing day" must've made me feel guilty all the way down in Texas because I've been extrememly productive today. It all started last night, really. My office was needing to be vacuumed, but I kind of went crazy and did a whole top-to-bottom cleaning, dusting, and vacuuming of everything in the room, from the base boards to the ceiling fan. (It never had been cleaned since you guys were here in April, Em! Remember how bad it was then?! Add 4 months of dust to what was already there. Eeeewwwwww!)
After the cleaning frenzy I took a break for a few hours to play Rummy 5,000 with Tammy. Sam was covering the school board meeting, so it gave Tammy and I a chance to play some more of our Eternal Rummy game that we started 10 and a half years ago. We're at somewhere around 180,000 points right now, Tammy being about 3,000 ahead of me at the moment. Ggrrr. Oh well. It's really not all that disturbing when you know it's Eternal Rummy and you've got the rest of your life to catch up!
Today I've done the great big top-to-bottom cleaning of the boys' room, Katie's room, our bedroom, and the hallway. I stopped to make dinner--poppyseed chicken casserole, one of our favorites--and right now I'm supposed to be starting the clean up job in the living room. But I've hit a snag. All of my motivation has drained completely off and I just don't wanna clean anything else. ~sigh~ Now what do I do? I've got the vacuum cleaners and the rags and the Endust sitting there, all ready to go...and I'm not. Even though it feels great to have accomplished so much, today has been one of those "ugh" days. It started yesterday sometime and has continued on throughout the day today. I just feel BLAH, you know? And it's spread all the way through my system now and I don't feel like doing anything. I don't feel like cleaning. I don't feel like reading. I don't feel like blogging. What am I doing here? Even though I don't feel like it, I feel more like doing this than cleaning! I don't even feel like being fun. Oooooooohhhh. That's BAD. That's when I know it's time to go pray for a while! I hadn't thought of that consciously, but when my sense of humor goes flat it's always a sign that I need to pray! It's better to have the world crumbling all around me and still be laughing about security guards and cannons than it is for things to level off, but not feel like cracking a joke or two. So I guess that's my cue. I'll go read and pray for a bit, then try to find the motivation I misplaced and see if I can't get some cleaning done in the living room and den tonight.
MY SINCEREST APOLOGIES FOR SUCH A TERRIBLY BORING POST!!! Pray for me and I'll do my best to make up for it next time. :-)
G'night!
