Excessive

I was going to write earlier today, but it seems like everything today exists only to force me to put off things I wanted to do until I didn't want to do them anymore.

Today was the day that was set up to have people or persons come over to reglaze the bathtub at Noon, Sarah had dropped off the money the night before and so I stayed home from school to be home for when the guy got here.

I woke up kind of late today, I'm not really sure why, I pretty much had everything going against me staying in bed... I was uncomfortable in a messy bed, I was waking up every few minutes, I felt shakey and anxiety attackish, and I had Tidus crawling all over me for hours at at time. It was around 9:30 when I got out of bed I think, and I eventually made lunch around 11, which was a Cambells V8 branded cream of brocolli soup and a bun with cheese on it. The bun was good, but the soup was pretty bad, it didn't really have any flavor, it tasted too much like vegetable base, and it had small chunks of whatever in it, so it was less than awesome.

I didn't realize that the bathtub job was going to take so long, so I kind of planned my day around assuming it would only take a half hour or something, so I had wanted to go to the grocery store, do the laundry, do the dishes, and tidy up whatever, but I wasn't going to start that crap until after the bathtub guy left because he was in the way, there was equipment everywhere, and I wasn't really all that comfortable.

He ended up showing up at 1pm due to an accident on the 401... Sarah called me and told me she was going to be late, so I knew he was going to be later than noon, but I didn't mind too much since I thought it was going to be quick. He arrivated at 1pm, and he set up his stuff, he had to put an air exaust hose out of the bedroom window, so that was running through the whole place, had the door open so the air was coming in, and the whole process took until around 4pm. Yeah, I know, that's a long time.

One of the first things he said to me was World of WarCraft related actually... he saw my official World of WarCraft magazine on the coffee table, so asked if I play, and I said yeah, and he started to brag about how many 80's he had, so I couldn't let him think he was a bigger nerd than me, and told him how many I had, and that was that. When he was leaving, he told me his toon's name and server, and I checked him out on the armory... he's also a shadow priest, but no where near as geared as I am, so, I could probably teach him a thing or two.

While he was here working on the tub, I pretty much just listened to music and updated my WoW addons. Yeah, it kind of took that long haha. I watched a movie or two, listened to Sufjan Stevens, Underoath and got all the addons set up, and eventually he left.

So as you can see, all of the things that I wanted to do had been put off until at least 4pm, which didn't give me a lot of time to do anything. First thing I did when he left was get some laundry on, and after that first load was finished, I put it in the dryer, and headed to the grocery store as the clothes were drying.

The walk to the grocery store was kind of nice, sometimes it can be a calming experience, or it can be axiety filled, but this time, it was nice. It was a bit cold out yeah, but with my mittens, and coat, I just took my time and enjoyed the air. I bought what I could fit in to my backpack, specifically something to eat for dinner, and bread and stuff for breakfasts and lunches, and then made my way home.

Once I got home, I put in a second load of laundry (the towels), and started two cans of tomatoes cooking on the stove with half an onion chopped in. After the laundry was done, I did all the dishes, started the spaghetti and finished cleaning up around the place as best as I could considering it was already 6pm, I was tired, cold, and not really feeling like doing anything.

I had spaghetti for dinner, and watched some random Discover HD show while I ate, eventually having a coffee, some dessert and moving the laptop into the computer room and playing a little bit of Wow, while talking to Ben on vent.

Cataclysm comes out in two weeks, so I figure now is a good time to get back into the game, relearn the new talents system, and make sure I know how to play still. I just did a couple random dungeons, once as a healer, another as a dps, and it was pretty fun. Ben and I are going to the midnight release of Cata on Dec 6th, so that should be pretty fun. Hopefully there will be some collectors editions to buy, but if not, it's not the end of the world, but if they are there, I'll be buying one. After the dungeons, I logged on to StarCraft 2 and played a 2v2 with Ben (which we won). I'll probably begin raiding again in WoW, which is going to take up a lot of time, but if it cuts into my ability to do homework or assignments, I'll have to quit WoW, cause I'm not going to screw up anything because of a game.

After SC2, I took a sleeping pill, and sat down to write this, but I also tried to think about how to go about redesigning the back end of this website to make it easier to edit, change or add features. Obviously the way to redesign it is to convert it into a completely object oriented solution, but it's hard to know where to even start. I want to keep the same layout, but just clean up the code, because I know I'll thank myself later on for it. Maybe that will be my next personal project... we'll see. I think I just need more ideas of things I could add because of the change, because that will motivate me, as of right now, the site will basically function exactly the same, so it's hard to find motivation to do it, since nothing will be noticeably different.

I did recently add a word count displayed on the bottom bar of every entry, and it was frustratingly difficult to find where to add it in, how to make it appear on the entries, etc, because the code is so disorganized and all over the place, like, the main backend is 2000 lines of code or so, but then there are certain features and stuff spread out over 6 or 7 seperate include files, that at the time were created to organize but end up just making crap really hard to find. I'll work on it slowly and see if I can organize this crap.

I can barely think at the moment, I'm so tired, and I gotta get up and go to school tomorrow, so I should really go to sleep now. Thanks for reading!
