Day 943: Slow Burn
Oct. 29th, 2010 10:00 pmSo this whole productive thing continues to not go well for me. I screwed up my own sleeping schedule early in the week, and I'm barely getting back on track.
Saturday was spent training with Sensei Green. We worked on panic-proofing, dive rolls, and staffs, which I am seriously coming to love. Afterwards we waltzed, which was also fun. Angela and I watched Merlin 3x07 and I went to D&D, and afterwards we had supper.
Sunday was a good day - a little lazy, but I got to see my old friends and also get finalized for my shiny new calling, which is going to be interesting but now...now I am going to protect my Relief Society sisters and I am excited to get to know them all better. I was incredibly lazy but I talked to my mom and Dad (thanks to the magic of Skype) and also I talked to Cody. In fact, I stayed up till nearly three in the morning talking to Cody about polysaccharides and planning to kidnap Colin Morgan. It was ridiculous but fun and I think I love Cody a little more every day.
Monday was a slow day, but I went to FHE and was a semi-decent GM, so that was pretty awesome. Lost a whole bunch of NPCs but am letting my players play a bit more. One big fight and some RP and that covers us for a couple of hours.
Tuesday I was again horribly lazy and also feeling ill and a little morose (and I'm always embarrassed about being morose in front of people, but Cody was very sweet about it), and I skipped Tuesday training because I was in no condition to deal with SR and would likely have said something I regretted. A lot. I ended up talking to Cody late on Skype again (I'm super proud of him - he set the curve in his quantitative analysis class) and Steven was in the background, making snarky comments and the like. I surprised Steven by being a lawyer who knows that ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate in certain settings.
Wednesday was faintly useful - I mailed back my bar prep books and so can expect a check in the next few weeks, which will help, since my finances are about to take a faintly sharp turn for the worst. Angela and I went to Costco so I picked up a pair of my glasses, which was super awesome, and we also bought snacks for Thursday, and then we went to my place and watched stupid clips of Merlin dubbed over in foreign languages (French!Arthur is full of terrible LOL while Japanese!Merlin is pretty awesome, but Thai!Merlin is full of WTF?) and also Criminal Minds.
On Thursday I got some useful things done by way of getting bills paid, and I volunteered for three hours at the bishop's storehouse, and also I cleaned my flat, so it looks pretty spiffy. Jason and Kile came and helped me move in my shiny new TV, which is much larger than I had anticipated, but so far so good - I have all three gaming consoles hooked in. Amber called and bailed out because someone else at her firm quit and her workload is through the roof, and then Kris called and said her mother had kicked her out, so I said she could crash at my place for the night (because her boyfriend's place is near mine and it's not entirely appropriate for her to just move in with him before they're married). Angela, Jason, Kile, and I played Wii bowling (I won the first game, Jason - who had never played before - rocked the second game) and then we played Wii golf. Jason bailed, so we girls continued playing (Kile had bailed during bowling), and then Angela left, and it was just me and Kris.
We watched an episode of Merlin, and then Cody called, so I talked to him, and overall it was a pretty darn awesome day.
Today was bad and lazy in the morning, but I went to visit teach Kayla, a new girl in the ward, who is ten times scrappier than me but super cool. We have all the wrong things in common, but I just sat and talked to her for three hours and we had a super fun time. Then I shuttled Sabre to a job interview, because I was in the neighborhood, and then I went to training. I biffed a whole bunch of distance and high dives, and I came down with a migraine so fierce I couldn't see out my left eye during combat techniques, but I made it through the night. And then one of the black belts, Mr. Miller, asked a legal question, so I shall do research on that. Also, Mr. Lemmons gave us the new Century catalogue, so instead of looking at fall fashions Angela and I can look at shiny pretty weapons.
I felt good about what I did, and I know I can do better, so productivity is steadily improving. Now...now I shall take out my contacts and brush my teeth and write till Cody calls.
