Relaxing walk in the park? Oh, not today. Today is, getting an issue ready for press, plus the plumber is coming and I'm hoping he doesn't get here at the same time as the cleaners.
This is the first time I've had to call a plumber and GOD, plumbers are expensive. It's like $75 just for him to walk through the door.
Even when I can bring myself to be grateful for the deeper compassion depression has brought me, I resent the pain it brings.
Yes. It's so weird, I was giving myself a pep talk this morning to get myself in the car and then to work and I thought to myself, WTF is wrong with me? Why is everything always so hard to get done? I can do stuff, and in a fairly efficient and normal-looking manner (thanks to half decent medication), but it is exhausting. Every day.
Which is to say, {{{Bitches}}}.
I forgot to say earlier, I could definitely use a round of the productivity game.

Totally this! Like, right now I have a huge sinkful of dirty dishes, because the drain from the dishwasher's backed up (hence, plumber) and I know I have to have that sink clear for him to look at, and yet the dishes have been piling up unwashed since Thursday. Why didn't I just wash them? I dunno. So now, an hour before he's supposed to arrive, I'm trying to wash a bunch of dishes at the same time I'm proofreading 45 articles due to press tomorrow. Oh, yeah, I could've been doing that since Thursday too. WTF is wrong with me?
eta Wow, that sounds like I'm flaking off at work. In my own defense, I'm not. I meant I could have done it over the weekend, which was my birthday, so... no.

Yeah, me too!
Let's do it. I have so much shit to do, it is no longer amusing.

Yes, while trying to move myself. Hmm, maybe that's why I'm so tired.
