ack ack ack have been running around like a headless chicken for the past little while. if i’m at home i’m doing tedious bullshit like prep work for taxes or trying to research schools or money for school, and if i’m not at home, i’m … not at home, am i?!?

i actually did manage to get some relaxing done this weekend; i sacked out for a couple hours in front of netflix-on-the-tivo and worked on my ugly afghan, finishing the last four squares and laying it out figuring out if i could achieve a reasonably non-ugly arrangement:

of course i blew off doing homework and laundry in order to have that little time to relax, so that bit was not so good, but otherwise i’m okay with it. the laundry has not gone anywhere. it will wait for me. …and if it doesn’t, if it achieves self-awareness and stalks off, it was probably morally wrong of me to selfishly use it for my own purposes, wasn’t it?

i owe a couple folks emails — will write back soon, promise!

but now… off to get ready for work. i need a couple weeks off from that too!
