9:20-48am i've been back and forth between sleep and trying to burrow into sleep for 2 hours, then finally wake up for good. in some ways, i want to sleep until 4pm. on one hand, i value my leisure time and hate when people fuck with it. on the other hand, sometimes i have to keep busy or else boredom brings on depression. while i view depression as a fairly natural thing in many of us, it really fucks with the order of things too. so it's nice to avoid. and sleeping would be a great way to keep busy.
last night is one of those nights that in some ways, i want to remember for the rest of my life. in other ways, i don't want to think about it ever again. right now i'm lost as to what i should think about it, so i try hard not to. especially if i can't manage to be busy today. it's not that there isn't plenty to do. it's just a matter of being able to do it. there's a ton of housework, but if i'm the only one who cares about it, then why bother, why throw away time i could be doing something actually useful? i'd start with washing the dishes, but the sink won't drain.
10:30 after making some breakfast and checking and replying to various internet messages and email, i realize the sink isn't just clogged, but water is coming back up again. it did this last weekend, someone came and fixed it, but here we go again.
11:20am after making some calls, a plumber arrives. this kid can't be old enough to drink yet. then again, if some of the kids i know who are 18-20 are as brilliant as they are and saying and doing what they say and do, then surely this kid can work that equipment and fix the damned sink.
12:10 the Kid Plumber just left. the sink is draining and he cleaned up really well after himself. now i don't have any excuse. a lot of me is still leaning toward just going to Blockbuster and renting movies to fill the time until i leave for Vespers tonight. that's what i really wanted to do at 11am but was waiting for the plumber. then again, washing the dishes sometimes puts me in the frame of mind to do creative things like work on the web design.
