I tend to do a lot of things all at once. I’ll be knitting a sweater and I’ll also be working on genealogy research. And I’m writing a book, in addition to reading a half dozen others. And as you might guess, my house is somewhat of a pit of chaos.At the moment, I have so many things I need to do that I can’t start a single one of them. I’m starting to feel overwhelmed with all the things I have to do versus what I really want to do (just relax). Since summer started, I’ve been on the go and I haven’t stopped to breathe. Every weekend brings something new and exciting to do, and while I love going out and meeting friends for parties and such, sometimes I wish I had a few days to just stay home, without visitors, just to do some laundry.

It’s pretty sad to think that I’ve gotten to the point of wanting to do laundry.

And grocery shopping. I would love to spend hours in the store buying food. It’s total insanity that I’ve turned so domestic.

And I’m writing now in order to procrastinate some more.

Here is just a short list of the projects I want to finish:

1. Create a knitting database of all the patterns I have.
2. Research all of my ancestors and find out everything I can about them.
3. Catalog all my photographs and scan them into my computer.
4. Create a database of my clothes and put outfits together.
5. Write a book or two.
6. Create a photography business and start marketing myself on the Net.
7. Create a meal schedule for the month.
8. Update all my websites and blogs.
9. Organize all the rooms in the house and get rid of clutter.
10. Play video games I haven’t played yet.
11. Watch all the DVDs I own but still haven’t watched. (I’ve had Dancer in the Dark going on almost 5 years now, and I still haven’t watched it.)
12. Finish all knitting projects on needles.
13. Start more knitting projects with all the yarn I currently have.
14. Fix Dave’s computer, which decided to die on me the minute I wanted to use it.
15. Create a darkroom. (I have to wait till we move for this one)
16. Start writing Strange Thoughts on a weekly basis.
17. Read all the books I own or have borrowed.
18. Create a monthly budget that I’ll actually stick to, while also saving money.
19. Figure out how to be more “green” with the stuff we buy and eat.
20. Get rid of stuff I no longer need or use.
    and so much more…

As you can see, I tend to do a lot of things. This is only the beginning of all the projects I set out for myself.

So I have all this stuff I can do. Why do I feel so bored and unmotivated to do any of these? I think I’m just mentally drained. And tired.

The one good thing is that I’ll be able to watch Doctor Who tonight. Gotta love a little David Tennant on a Friday night. 🙂 That’ll perk me right up.
