Monday nights are the nights I accomplish nothing at home. I work from 8:30 until 5:00 then to the university library to take care of homework and then to class from 7:00 to 9:30. When I arrive home it is nearly 10:00 and I am too physically wound up to go to bed right away, but too mentally tired to accomplish much.
Tonight I wanted to take apart and clean the vacuum cleaner. It is still sitting in the closet, with my and my cats hair tangled about its rolling brush, likely needing a new belt and the filters need washing. My rug is DISGUSTING, covered in cat hair and shoe print debris.
Tonight I wanted to send out emails to the performers of the show I am producing. To remind them of the dates and times for bio deadlines, photos and performance piece titles. I wanted to email potential program advertisers and follow up with those who said they would mail a check by now. I've not logged into my email...not once since arriving home.
Tonight I wanted to finish my dishes, do a load of laundry, brush the cats, go grocery shopping, book a flight to Alaska and make a list of all the crafty things I could make and sell...
Oh, I've spent my time on facebook, checking out videos on Nowness and created this blog post. Now I'm eying my bed and thinking that an hour snugged under the covers and an episode of Desperate Housewives may be the way to end the evening...
Tonight, instead of all those busy, practical and oh so necessary things that I need to accomplish, I am taking off my shoes, putting on my jammies and shutting off my brain.
Tomorrow, maybe I'll do something...
