blah blah stuff

edenfallingToday was annoying necessary chore day. First I walked down to Agway (which takes ~35 minutes, in 83 degree heat) to buy some screws to fix my computer chair -- one of the four screws that fastens the chair back to the seat snapped in half a few days ago, another had already been missing for a couple years, and a third was noticeably warped. So I replaced all of them with new screws and washers and stuff, and then used the less warped of the two old screws to replaced a badly warped screw that fastens the pad of the chair back to the frame of the chair back. And all is well. :-)
Then it was grocery shopping, which takes an hour and a half factoring in bus schedules, followed by paperwork. Normally I pay all my bills in one go around the 21st of the month, but on the 21st of June I will be catching an airplane at oh-god-why-so-early in the morning heading to Minnesota for my week of summer vacation (yay!!!), so clearly all that had to be dealt with sooner than usual. And my landlords had just sent my lease extension form to formalize the verbal agreement we made in April, so I thought I might as well do it this evening. I also paid my annual church pledge while I was at it, because if I don't do that as a lump sum transaction pretty early in the fiscal year, I never get to it at all.
Tomorrow I should probably make a packing list and pull my suitcase down from on top of my bedroom closet. Also I need to buy some gum for the flight, and some snacks for the airport, and... Gnrgh. Why is travel such a process? I want to just snap my fingers and be there already.
(Also I have been feeling kind of drained this past week -- both in a physical and a motivational sense -- and this is NOT THE TIME for a blue funk. Damn it, brain chemistry, GET IT TOGETHER. I want to enjoy my vacation, not sit around like a useless lump and have my family be all concerned at me!)

It's one of those really basic things that's easy to get low on. I can, for a wonder, endorse Vitafusion's adult chewables. It's like... vitamin gummy bears. Kind of a pick-me-up just for the entertainment value.

Date: 2012-06-17 05:09 am (UTC)If I'm still feeling blue by the time I get to Cass Lake, I will see about buying some multivitamins or something. I can't really get any until then, since my work schedule and the #13 bus schedule are not compatible and I don't have a neighborhood grocery store anymore. *deeper sigh* I'm not sure they'll do much, given that blue funks have been happening to me a few times a year for at least a decade and quite possibly back as far as high school without me quite noticing the pattern. But any chance at mitigation is worth investigation at least. :-)
