Oct. 11th, 2011 11:39 pmAll over the place tonight. Lovely Passim show, challenging therapy and now my cats have apparently learned how to shit mustard gas. So now I'm curled up on the couch with Moppet watching Hawaii Five-O and waiting for the ambien to kick in.
I cleaned for much of the day, but that frustrating sort of cleaning where things get messier before they get organized. Our storage space now has room to put the ACs away but the guest room looks like I'm hoarding beat-to-hell cardboard boxes.
I've been cross-stitching, I find it extremely soothing but I also feel somehow like I'm wasting my time. I'm pretty certain I'm not going to be doing anything with the product, there's really only so many people (ie one's mother) that will enjoy getting craft projects based more on OCD than creativity. And, I still pretty much think anything that's not working, cleaning or hanging out with my people and isn't reading is a waste of time. But, for something to be a waste, does it have to have an intrinsic value? I still occasionally think I'm a failure for not staying in academia, that I was good at this one thing and I didn't stick with it. Though I don't even know if I really believe I was good at it.
My dog is trying to steal my string cheese, I have another expansion scheduled for tomorrow, and I'm trying to figure out if I'm brave enough to go volunteer at occupy boston on friday. whee?
