Feeling much better. Still completely swamped but better.

Work has been crazy busy - am working on several large projects all coming together at once. Makes my head hurt and Lord knows though I work hard and can keep things straight in my head I'm starting to lose the ends of things. So many small tasks that are undone it's driving me crazy - the kinds of things I forget about during the day and then wake me up late at night when I can't really do anything about them.

Had a great time at dinner last night with Marie. We met up for half-priced burgers at Whitlows; caught up on the past few weeks (she's been busy I've been busy) and did some shopping (nothing very appealing over at the bookstore or Ann Taylor). Then went home and cleaned up around the apartment while blasting music.

That's the best way to clean, with music on loud. I remember being little and helping my mom clean the house on saturday mornings; the music would either be something in spanish (Flaco Jimenez, different New Mexico bands) or showtunes-ish ("Fiddler on the Roof" and Bette Midler's "The Divine Miss M" stick out in my head). We'd dance and sing along while vacumming or sweeping or washing. A good way to make a boring job pass quickly.

So that's what I was doing last night, blasting my new Weezer CD as I washed dishes and swept the floor. Definitely a good time. (Wow, I do need to get out more.)

Doing (life and related tasks): Work! Work! Work!

Doing (crafty stuff): Thinking about starting a knitting project.

Wanting: Nothing too much.

Anticipating: The upcoming long weekend.
