Today has been a day.
Despite the sunshine and eighty degree weather, it was just one of those days… I’m battling allergies (thanks to the yellow pollen that has taken over the outside world), so I felt like poop all day. I woke up with the worst headache (sinuses, per usual). I didn’t get a good nights sleep (this one is all on me–I stayed up until like 4AM reading). And then I had to do adult stuff like renew my car tags. *insert eye roll here*
I woke up and my mood just sucked today. I felt like I was in a funk. I was too much in my head, I think, going over lists of things I needed to get done before more crap on my list started appearing out of thin air. I was cranky because I was running on four hours of sleep. I was irritated because I went to the new Starbucks on Phoenix and they made me a latte with WAY TOO MUCH MILK and not enough espresso or coffee or whatever is in a latte. So of course I drove to the Rogers one, because I undoubtedly knew they would make me a good one. I was hungry but I wasn’t, so I settled on Taco Bell, because I was in the mood for a bean burrito. I desperately wanted to ride with all the windows down and my sunroof open, but in the stop-in-go-traffic with the sun blazing through my sunroof, it wasn’t happening.
I have decided, though, that for the remainder of my spring break I plan to be SUPER productive. Clean the house from top to bottom–do things like dust or clean the microwave. I also plan to go through my closet, because I feel like it needs reorganizing. Go through literally every single thing I own, and get rid of it if it hasn’t been worn or used in over six months. And as I’m sitting here typing all of this it’s getting harder to imagine me actually doing all of these things.
In all honesty, I just want to spend on day doing absolutely nothing, eat whatever I want, binge watch an entire season of something, and then spend the rest of the day reading. But even as I’m typing out all of that, I’m sitting here thinking, Nope. Nadda. Not gonna happen. Because I have less than three days left of spring break before homework comes rushing back in (assignments due on Sunday), and a crap-ton of things that I need to get done before my time slowly starts to dwindle again.
Side thought: Spring break is supposed to be a break. Why do I feel the need to fill it with more work? Maybe, I really do need to just break.
The silver lining of all of this is that I had a totally cute outfit on today–light Tomgirl jeans with a green ringer crop Tomboy shirt. AND I wore sandals. So I was really enjoying that. Although, I didn’t have enough energy to put on makeup this morning, and resorted to pinning back my hair, because it was one of those days where it just decided to do whatever it wanted (there is no taming the beast). Now it’s on the state of dreadlocks, because it’s been like five days since I washed it last. I think it’s been five days… *sigh*
I guess if you’re reading this feeling remotely similar to everything I just described, know that you are not alone. I didn’t wash my hair tonight, because I didn’t feel like it. That makes going on six(?) days without it being washed. I should’ve came home and cleaned my house (dusted and all that jazz), because when else am I going to get the opportunity to do some spring cleaning? But I didn’t. And it’s okay, because I have tomorrow. And the next day. And the next. But come Saturday, I’m screwed if I don’t get SOMETHING done.
Call it procrastination; laziness; whatever. I’m out.
Until next time. (Tomorrow).
