ObFelineRef: the cat toys of note in the house this week seem to be an old boot-lace, and a Sharpie marker (capped, yes). Pandora has been killing the pen up and around the living room, while Boomer prefers to take down the deadly boot-lace in the foyer.

I begin to think that mizkit is right, and I have a mild but annoying case of OAC (OverAchievers Complex). Because today I:

went to the gym
finished entering the proof changes for HARD MAGIC and sent them back
cleaned the apartment
finally got the first batch of website updates to Fredlet
made a damnfine lunch from scratch
came up with material for the New Sekrit Projects and sent them off
proofread the short story that was due this week and sent it off
dealt with some agent-ish and freelancing e-mails that may lead to $$
updated financials

all before 5pm, and I have this feeling I completely frittered the day away.

*frowns*

I know that self-employed folk have to be self-directed, and I've had any number of days where I slacked off like a cat, but damn it, brain, could you let up on me when I've actually been productive? Because I'd like to kick back and maybe read a book tonight, not fret over the stuff that I haven't gotten done yet!

But no, instead I will sit down tonight and go through all the paperwork I haven't dealt with, and make it Dealt With, and maybe even start work on the Ur-bar story....

You are so freaking productive you make me want to go curl into a quivering ball of inadequacy and whimper.

but see, me? Not normal. I know I got stuff done today but I can't convince my brain that I didn't waste the day, I really couldn't have gotten more done if I'd been more organized....

[okay, maybe I could have. And maybe I should ha...argh. See? This Is Not Healthy, children. I need to learn how to have a normal reaction. Except if I did, my natural laziness would take over and I'd never get anything done. Overcompensation R me...]

I needed a nap just reading the third line.

[lagilman]

well, the house-robot helped with that. Go, Roomba, go!

Overachievement: it's a lifestyle choice.

*hugs* You dork. Sadly, I have no idea how to shut that part of the brain off, but they say recognizing you have a problem is the first step to recovery. :)

[lagilman]

You dork.

:-P


I was really tempted to spend all day today in bed, watching movies and eating bonbons. But I don't have any bonbons in the house, and anyway, I've already crossed two four (easy) things off my to-do list, so that's a non-starter....

[eight things max allowed on the to-do list. If I put more on it, I will try to do all of them, and then feel like crap if I only get to them all. Know your particular flavor of crazy, I always say....]

You do.

[lagilman]

Yeah well. You of all people should be used to it by now...
