My New Year had  a limping beginning.  I didn't wake up until after 11 am, and then I was in sort of a daze the rest of the day.  My sister Kim and I had sort of planned to go see The Day the Earth Stood Still today.  I am a huge fan of the original movie with Michael Rennie, and, though I have heard that the remake is an abomination, I still want to see it.  Kim wants to see it because she is in love with Keanu Reeves...

Sadly, it is no longer in Owatonna as a matinee, so the only way to see it as a matinee is in Rochester.  Kim wasn't willing to sacrifice so much time to see the movie, so we made tenative plans to see it on Saturday.  We talked on the phone for some time--so I didn't actually get downstairs till nearly 2 pm.  Pretty much all my plans for the day fell into ruins as a result of my late start and my dopiness.

I took my morning meds at about 2 pm, and didn't take my suppertime meds at all. 

I didn't get a whole lot done because I just could not seem to focus.

All I accomplished on this lovely day was to wash three loads of laundry and clear a bunch of crap off my dining room table.  The two OTHER biggies I wanted to accomplish today were vacuuming the living and dining rooms and changing my bedding.  Did not get either done.  Tomorrow for sure I will do these.

Jim and DeAnn invited me over for supper, but I just felt so doped out and sort of weepy--I don't know what my issue was.  Part was most likely that I didn't eat much today--and what I did eat wasn't all that stunning, nutritionally speaking.  I have to do better tomorrow.  I have to be in better shape for school on Monday.

Tomorrow I will meet Jim and DeAnn in Owatonna and we will have lunch.  I also have to speak to the people at altell and get my account number so I can put my friend-favorites into my account.  Damn place never did give me my account number.

I started working through my 6,000 emails in my cho_chiyo yahoo mail.  I always used to keep up with that one better than any other because that's where all my doll collecting emails go through, but I've just been totally neglecting it since October.  Part of the reason was that I had that damned swap for Anne to finish and I just couldn't seem to get it done.  And then when it WAS done, I couldn't seem to get it to the post office to mail it.

Well, I took care of it, finally, on New Year's Eve day.  I am not going to sign up for any more swaps until I feel able to keep up.  Also, I need to finish those doll clothes I promised Dave K's little granddaughter.  I have many, many cut out, but I have to sew them.  Also, I have to send some cool Marley stuff to Doris.  I have plenty of cool things to look through to give to her, but she really wants socks and tights, and I don't have a lot of those made.  I've just been getting into the swing of making those items.  I don't have a lot of the stretchy, thin fabric making them requires.

No new pictures for the new year yet.  Sorry. 

Hopefully I will feel a little perkier and more ambitious tomorrow.

Sigh.

It's a very sad thing, but I have no ambition today.  None. 

What I'd like to do is lay around and sew doll clothes all day.  Or else rent some movies and become comatose in my recliner watching them.

Heh heh

But what I HAVE to do is get some laundry done--I don't have too much, two loads, I think.  I also need to do the sinkful of dishes I couldn't bring myself to do yesterday and get the garbage sacked up and ready to take out tomorrow night.  I also want to start going through some stuff for DeAnn's garage sale.  I didn't make much at Kari's--but--it's $26.00 I wouldn't have made if I'd just taken that stuff to the Salvation Army or something.  Right?

I have nothing else of interest to add to this at the moment.

I am considering going to Walmart in Owatonna--but I am also thinking it is already almost too late to get there before the after church crowd shows up.  I hate being there or anywhere when there are gobs and gobs of people milling around.  It makes me feel anxious.

Ah, well.

Maybe I'll just go to Walmart on my way to school in the morning.  I need to get some stuff done at school tomorrow, mainly organizing.  Then, when I leave school, I can go to Hobby Lobby to buy some brushes and check out the sales. 

Tuesday, I have my acryllic painting class in the afternoon. 

Wednesday I see Laurie for acupuncture--then I'll be going to mom's to stay overnight and returning home Thursday afternoon since her ex-minister and his wife are coming to stay for the weekend.  I don't hate those people, but they are far right wing looney tunes who are extremely intolerant of anything but the most NARROWLY focused vision of "what is right," and I'd just as soon not deal with them at all. 

My geriatric cat is stalking a fly at the moment.  It is an enormous fat black fly.  It's a little sluggish, and she is ready to POUNCE and KILL.  Her eyes have this insane green KILL glitter.  Heheehehe

It is pretty amusing.

I need to do something that looks like progress today.  I'm getting into that routine of wanting to just sleep or read all the time.  At this rate, I will accomplish NOTHING for the entire summer.  Then--I will HATE myself.
