Getting Things Done

There are two types of things I need to get done – creative and practical.

    Creative

  • Read up to and including the newest book in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series – Came from Amazon today.
  • Put more energy into my book, as there is obvious demand for it (yes, you people inflated my ego out of control).
  • Update my LARP characters, do downtimes, and write character histories.
  • Watch an anime DVD I rented.
    Practical

  • Send out two bills.
  • Grocery shopping
  • Wash dishes.
  • Clean bathroom.

Amidst this, I will be going to Anime Night at 21C tonight, make sure that I don’t neglect or any of my friends, and stay sane. I can do this.

Thinking about long-term

Yesterday was weird and interesting.

  • I got into work on time, and got a lot done.
  • I’m still sick, which sucks.
  • Class went well, and the reading is going to be interesting. The memorizing of dates and names will be minimized, which is snazzy.
  • Haircut: Accomplished. I’m sick of BoRics never taking the time to buzz right at the line between long and short hair. I’ve decided to not go there for a long time. Now if I can just find someone to fix this with some clippers.
  • Green Spiral with was a good time and reminded me that I need to know more about Tarot.
  • Hung out with , , and her friend Amanda at Denny’s. Constantly amazed at how a cool person has such a small social circle.
  • Went to sleep.

In the midst of all of this, I was thinking a lot about the long-term. Good thoughts.

BTW, all those that have requested my book, but haven’t been receiving it in the past, are going to get the prelude. I’m worried about saturating my future audience (want to get it published, ya know), but then again, I’m paranoid. :)

NO SUBJECT FOR YOU

I got a gift certificate from . I’m going to have to get to honor it soon. ;)

Work is going well, I have the feel of getting things together and organized. My financial life is in the same mode, and it feels wonderful.

I’m feeding ‘s gaming addiction.

I’ve got class in under an hour and I’m very happy about that.

For those of you that have been following my novel, I’ll most likely be sending that out to you today or tomorrow. I once more need to gather all the email addresses of those that have been getting it. I’m about halfway done with that. :)

I think I would worry more often about the crazy if I didn’t roleplay it to the hilt whenever I got the chance.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Jack prays every day for five years to win the lottery, but never hears from God or hits the jackpot. Finally, God wakes him up in the middle of the night. “Jack, is that you who’s been praying so hard to win the lottery?” the Supreme Being booms. “Yes, Lord, desperately!” God pauses for a moment, then says thoughtfully, “Jack, I’ll tell you what. I want you to meet me halfway. Buy a ticket, OK?” Let this joke be a prod, Taurus, that will keep you from making the same mistake Jack was guilty of.

OMG

I’m watching the keynote speech from MacWorld in San Francisco.

I have to change my pants.

A Powerbook Aluminum… yes… Aluminum… with a 17″ landscape screen.

I have to change my pants again.

Uncomfortable

I’ve caught up on my online comics.
I’ve caught up on most of my email.
I’ve caught up on LJ.
I’ve caught up on some posts.

My ass hurts in this wooden chair. Time to leave Beaner’s, methinks.

Money

My 401K cash-out finally arrived in the mail. All of my bills are paid and up to date. Soon, I will be getting things fixed on my car. I’m going to get the exhaust done first, and have Dad pay me back (yay for IOU’s!), and then the shocks. Perhaps two new front tires should come first. At the end, if I can still afford it, I’m going to get the ABS fixed at the dealership.

Finally having the money to do what I *need* to do is relieving.

Now I just need to find a way to bring in money that I like doing. Step by step, day by day.
