Blah Day

The night before last, I was watching my roommate play Zelda, and I accidentally fell asleep on the couch. I woke up at around 9am when I heard heavy steps up the stairs outside of our apartment and a knock at the door.

Lo and behold, it was my brand new laptop.

Can you believe I didn't even end that with an explanation point? I have no idea why I've been so blah these past few days. Maybe the full reality of having a new laptop hasn't really hit me? I haven't had anything to be this excited about for a while. Maybe my medications are impacting my ability to be excited? Maybe the fact that this was such a long drawn-out process made me come to terms with it a little while ago.

But that really isn't important. I NEED to get work done this weekend. I've been lazy and procrastinating.

Yesterday pretty much all I did was get all my usual programs configured on my new laptop, play Guild Wars, and download stuff for The Sims 2.

Today, even though I really want to unzip all my new downloaded goodies and play The Sims, I need to do some work and clean my room. Well, not ALL today, but probably today and this weekend coming up.

So here's what I'm going to do... reward myself for good work. If I clean my room I can go download some more stuff for my Sims and go ahead and unzip/install them. However, in order to play The Sims, I have to get the sidebar system done for this website I'm working on. So yeah, sure, if I procrastinate working, I can do housework and play The Sims, but in order to spice it up and get the bagillion add-ons I downloaded, I HAVE to work.

By the way, I've stopped including productivity stars in my posts. Instead I include them in my Joe's Goals chart.

Now off to work!
