The other sucky things about today? Tom Scola on the other side of the continent, no game night planned with megan walker for a while, and Lee much closer than Tom but still too far.

One of these three is easily remedied.

When you kidnap Lee, who will take care of her cats?

I think unless you love your job 100% - you should always keep your eyes open.

This is my thinking, too. You never know when the perfect thing might come along.

I'm out of energy and it's not even noon. Maybe I should put off quitting my red bull habit until tomorrow.

My new year's good intentions lasted until I got home from work and had smoked salmon, candy and peanuts for my dinner. Crap.

You have to allow yourself some backsliding or you'll just give up altogether. Someone is getting me a red bull right now. And I had some cookies on account of they were espresso flavored. But I choose to focus on the positive changes I've already made: I had citrus fruit for breakfast yestrday and the day before, enough leafy green vegetables to choke a goat, and I'm having tuna salad for lunch.

Crap. I'm not gonna get my car back til tomorrow. Dammit, I want it NOW!!!!

ION, I am keeping myself occupied my cleaning and organizing the whole house. Starting with the kitchen.

I have cleaned out and organized all my cabinets, cleaned out and cleaned the fridge (I can't clean the disgusting top of the fridge till I get paper towels tomorrow -- darn), washed every single damn dish, and now I will scrub the floor.

Oh, and thrown out about 1 1/2 bags of shit that I don't need/want/is broken/is trash.

When the floor is mopped, I will go to Urban Outfitter's to look at at their furnishing sale stuff, then to Kinko's to print out stuff for licensing the car tomorrow.

Then I will wash down the walls in my little dining room attachment to the kitchen. I think I am going to throw out two of the kitchen chairs. I would love to get rid of the little kitchen table (it's my grandma's but it is very rickety, and it's no antique) and get a little kitchen cart, but that's out of my budget right now. Then I will scrub and lemon oil the wood floors in there.

Then I'm gonna sort and do laundry and watch movies as I fold. I think I'm going to cull a lot of stuff. I think I'm going to try to get rid of abunch of sheets, but I hate to just throw out clothese that are just a little stained or...ugly.

I think I'll make rags out of some t-shirts and sheets and just be ruthless with the rest.

Susan, Ihope you can find something you like. Is there someone who can look over my resume? I haven't heard from the job I just applied for so I'm giving it up but maybe I can make my resume better.

Erin's being too productive!

I'm eating poorly again. Panda Express broccoli beef, crispy shrimp, and fried rice. Nom nom nom!

I HAVE to get organized -- my house is a disaster, and my office....shudder.

And I can't get shit done when everything surrounding me is literally crapulous.

And being clean and organized is incredibly mood-lifting for me. It happens so rarely.
