Time Keeps Passing, No Matter What

[ladysprite]

I think I need to beat my inner overachiever into submission.

When I complain to my husband that all I managed to do on my day off was move the speakers to the basement, move the stereo to the office upstairs, set up the shelves and unpack all our DVDs, move two more boxes to the basement, unpack another two boxes, walk to the bank and the library to deposit my paychecks and pick up my books on hold, get my car inspected, straighten out my work schedule for the next two weeks and half of next year, buy frames for two pieces of art, pick up fresh veggies for dinner, take a giant bag of clothes to Goodwill, buy accessories for my Halloween costume, and pick him up at the T station before a migraine knocked me out at 5:30pm....

... and then still manage to make dinner and bake an Apple Thingy for dessert....

I think I can lighten up on myself. Just a little.

Except that I still need to work on my current crochet project, write a LARP, design a ritual for another game, move the bookshelves in our bedroom, buy curtains, actually hang the artwork, and (always) continue unpacking.

Later. I think right now I hear a bubble bath and a cheesy Mercedes Lackey novel calling my name.

Some days you just need the cheesy novel.

How odd, but I don't remember adding you. All I can think is that I did so after tikva's party. I met people and heard LJ user names and added as many as I could remember. Did I meet you there? I'm Robin; I came later in the evening.

If not, hi anyway.

Hi! Actually, I noticed that you had added me, and figured that you must be someone from that party. :)

I'm terrible with names, but I do know that I met a bunch of very cool people - I'm the smallish redhead veterinarian who spent most of the evening on the staircase so I could chat without being in too many people's way...

Listen to the bubble bath and Ms. Lackey. They are good for the soul.

That was a very busy and very productive day!

I think you've got enough done that you deserve the bubble bath and the Misty Cheese.

I've got an inner over-achiever too, so it was very amusing to hear some one else reciting all they'd done, which still somehow didn't feel like enough.

(I've met you a couple times at OVFF. If you're there this year I'll try'n introduce myself again, cuz I'm figuring you don't remember me.)

Howdy - alas, I'm not going to be at OVFF this year; the household convention fund instead went into buying a house.

I've been trying to match a name and face to you since I saw you add me; if I get one or the other I'm pretty sure I'll know who you are... :) (And apologies for not figuring it out on my own; I'm horrible at remembering names, especially from cons - they're a bit overwhelming to shy folks like myself....)

From http://mbumby.livejournal.com/24174.html (for context) there is a picture that is linked to: http://www.mystery.com/lj/mbumby/img001.jpg

House is good, but sorry it's at the cost of OVFF.

No worries on not knowing me (even if picture and name together don't do it) -- I'm just a fan, not a performer or anything, and I tend toward the extremely shy and excruciatingly introverted, so I'm not usually wandering around introducing myself. You just happen to be someone who made an impression.

I wouldn't have guessed you for shy, though... I enjoy watching you dance.
