I finally got up off my butt and caught up on the housework. Ignoring it wasn’t working for me anymore, and well, the last of the four existing bowls in the house was dirty and I needed something to put my canned ravioli in tonight. Tomorrow I will be back on track with the usual schedule, and without Lin’s help messing the place up, I might even get some clearing out of junk done with my newfound free time. So … go me, I got motivated today!

I’ll be going to the ballet on Friday. It’s a preview showing of Not Afraid of the Dark, a kids show which I know I am going to love beyond words. Imagine a dance performance on a dark stage with all kinds of glowing things! It’s going to be so awesome. I can’t wait! This will be my first time going to the ballet alone and the first time in ages I have gone downtown at night all by my lonesome. It’ll do me some good. I need to start doing things by myself from time to time. I might even hang out downtown for a while and take some photos and maybe go somewhere to have a drink. Now that would be really brave of me. :lol:

Though I wish Lin could go too. He’d like the show too. I’ll be blogging about it sometime Friday night when I get home, and even without having seen it yet, I’m willing to say this is one of the shows everyone should go see. It’s going to be fun!

I only have one task yet to accomplish today. I need to go to the drugstore and get some more allergy pills. I don’t really want to get more, because I hate taking them, but there’s been something in the air this week just tearing me up. I’m sort of afraid to stop taking them. If I am this congested while on medication, I don’t want to know how bad it would be without it. At all costs, I want to avoid getting a sinus infection. Therefore, I will continue drugging myself. Though I did split the last two I took in half (they have a mark for doing so), and half seems to work well enough without leaving me feeling as though my brain is wrapped in cotton. Still, they leave me feeling fuzzy and unmotivated. I have enough trouble motivating myself to get up and do things these days without any help from pills.

I suppose I should go get that done before it gets too late. When I get back, I think I’ll watch last night’s recorded TV shows. None of them are nearly as fun to watch without Lin around, but I do want to hear what The Daily Show and Colbert Report have to say, and there are new episodes of Fringe and Eureka too. I might wait to watch those. The thing that becomes really clear when Lin isn’t around is just how very uninterested in watching TV I am in general. I like all these shows quite a bit, but I’d really rather read or knit or play computer games or pester the cats or putter around in the yard. For me, watching TV is a social thing and not a solitary thing.

Yup, better get to the drugstore. The day is closing out fast, and I don’t want to get caught in rush hour traffic!
