blog slacker
I don't know what it has been about this last week that has made me just not want to blog. I've been in a borderline funk. Not totally funked out, but close. The kind where you get in the morning at the last minute possible (when the baby is really yelling at out to come get him out of the crib), make coffee first thing, and play dvd's for the baby, while drinking coffee and trying to come to grips with the fact that it's another day and you have to function.
But then I have the coffee and I function, and that makes me feel better, to know that I actually accomplished something. So I've mopped the kitchen floor like three times this week, now that Ellis is playing on it more.
What else have I been doing? Yesterday I totally cleaned the whole downstairs, wood floors and all, picked fresh flowers from the gorgeous azalea bushes, and mowed the lawn. Earlier this week, I also sorted through all the papers that we've gotten over the last months for Ellis's hearing stuff. I now have a binder for Early Intervention, a binder for the hospital, and a binder for medical assistance. And I made appointments that needed to be made for Ellis.
I haven't even thought about my thesis since I've been back from Louisiana, and I need to start working on it again. But I had to return all the books to the library, because my friend checked them out for me, and he graduated. I've been hanging out with friends, watching some tv, and reading whatever. I'm not going to go into the thesis-turbo-mode, because that was miserable, but I do need to figure out some kind of work schedule.
And we're still trying to figure out what's up in life: need a place to live, Chris looking for a new job...
