My life is out-of-control. Well, maybe it just feels that way.
Here's how I know:
Test One: State of the Car
Someone once suggested if you look at the state of your car/bedroom/etc, you can determine your current state of sanity. If you were to look in my car now, its not a pretty sight. I had to pull the seats down to open the trunk last week to tow a new bookshelf for my work-office last week. Upon doing that, the Disaster Area other wise known as the "trunk" opened and spilled into the whole back part of my car. Goodwill donation bags ripped and opened, flooding everywhere old shirts and shoes. Diet Coke can ready to be recyled litter the floor and last semester's text books are somewhere back there... I replaced the a metal file cabinet with the new bookself, so the old file cabinet is now in my car. Annoyingly bouncing around back there as I turn and stop on the streets. The front seat is actually clear, because I drove a friend to the church the other day. Which, of course, was humilating because of the state of the backseat.
Why don't I just clean it up? Well, for starters its too dark by the time I get home. And I haven't been home before 6:30pm in two weeks, most nights its after 9pm. Secondly, its so exhausting just to think about... ugh.
Test Two: My College Grades
So, I haven't really gotten any grades yet but I FEEL so behind. I didn't read the syllabus in time for one of my classes and so I didn't (and still don't) have the text books I need. I am behind in reading, and while I think I am doing okay with the online discussion boards, I know I am not doing my Cori-best. And these classes are so fascinating. I don't want to miss out.
Test Three: My Grouchiness Level (or How I Am Treating Others)
I've had to apologize to co-workers more than once for being grouchy. The lesson "you must be flexible with a good attitude" is being drilled in my head daily-- no, hourly. I think I am treating my family okay. We were laughing together last night about something.. so thats a good sign.
Test Four: How Often I Blog
So, that's an easy one to answer. Just scroll down to the last dates posted. Yep.
Test Five: Basic Personal Maintenance
I showed everyday. Sometimes twice a day. I love showers. This week: I went almost three days without a shower. My hair was awful (hence a hat) and I felt terrible. I need to get a pedicure, because the cold weather makes my feet crack (which hurts) and I don't have time to lotion up. Don't even get me started on Lotion. And I need a haircut. And a visit to the dentist (which frghtens me because dentists usually equal big bills). My neck hurts and I've had two migraines in the last two weeks.
Test Six: Have I seen any of my friends lately?
No, because the are all SUPER busy too! They could write their own crazy lists of whines and moans of how nutty their own lives are as well.
Anyways. Thats all. I have limited time to get what I need done today, and part of me just wants to just nap.
:)
So, tomorrow is my niece's first birthday, so stay tuned for some very cute pictures of the new one-year old!!!
How are you doing?
