Fluffy slippers stole my brain

I have a list of things to do today, on my RDO. But I'm wandering the house, looking for distractions from facing up to the cleanup of my bedroom which is about 6 months overdue.

I walked into my bedroom and opened the curtains, but couldn't work out what to do next. So I went back into the warm family room.

While I sat in the warmth of the heater, I thought about the processes I need to use to restore order to the piles of clothes on the floor (some of which I can't fit into anymore, it's been so long since I tidied my room).

Then I dealt with the morning's heartburn and carefully restocked my handbag with Gaviscon. And sat down, again, in the warm family room.

I went to the toilet, sometimes that slows me down. I thought about the plumbing work I want to get done before R arrives. And I sat down in the warm family room again.

I looked again at my list of things I want to get done today. Cleaning my room is definitely the right thing to do now. I have appointments at 12.30 and 1.30 and the afternoon is the right time to "lie around and read" and "have an afternoon nap"

I could go and have that haircut I've been planning for 8 weeks, but any exertion this morning and I'll be stuffed and won't be able to clean my room. Like I really need to.

I'm a bit worried about cleaning my room. It will involve a lot of careful movement through the crap, to avoid "uneven weight bearing" on my pelvis. But cleaning it will mean less "uneven weight bearing" on my pelvis in the future, as I get dressed in the morning and move furniture around in preparation for R's arrival. It's the first part of nesting.

I stood in the middle of the family room, being warm and refusing to sit down for fear I'd never get up again. I looked down at my feet and solved my real problem. I'm wearing fluffy slippers and I haven't brushed my teeth. Aha! I have failed to tell my body to finish being the slothful lieabout and get on with things.

I'll get into runners and brush my teeth and then I'll be able to clean my room; after I write an LJ entry about the process. It's nice and warm at my computer, sitting in front of the heater... and someone might post in the meantime.

BTW has semagic been updated to let you do tags? That would be an ideal way to continue my avoidance.

small amusement

I'm looking into kitchen and wardrobe cabinet makers local to my area (as you do when you've been cleaning up your bedroom for a while)

I went to this site It's very funny, to find out more information about the services they offer, you first have to "catch" your/their hyperlink!

I knew there was a good reason for hating flash.

testing my new client

Sitting around, waiting for mr_bassman to feel up to working on Dad's tarpaulin. I've downloaded a newer version of semagic.

It appears to have the ability to use tags, although it calls them keywords - we'll see when I post.

I went to the physio today. I have to ice my pubic bone and coccyx 3-4 times a day for the next few days and then at least once a day, even if they don't hurt. I'm still trying to work out how to ice my pubic bone at work, without seeming like a huge tworp, or telling my workmates more than they want to know.

The good news is that I can use a bicycle to get around, where I would normally walk - so I can ride to the supermarket etc.

The interesting news is that one of the women in the waiting room while I was there was asked by her physio how she was going. When she replied, "not very well, I stayed in bed all weekend, but it hasn't seemed to help" the physio immediately told her, in that booming voice some knowledgeable women have, "I think that you need to spend a week on crutches" and proceeded to give her a lesson in how to use the crutches, for the benefit of us all.

I was dead impressed. I wish I'd known about crutches 12 years ago when I couldn't walk further than 50m because of the pain. Knowing about the ice and a dupport belt would have been good too.

Hey, I managed to get my room tidier, my hair cut, my pilates and physio attended, some time on the couch reading AND a nap. The only things I didn't get done were; some sewing, some feast organisation and something cool with Z. I couldn't do anything cool with Z - he nicked off to see a movie with a friend and sleepover. Bastard!

I'm thinking I need an icon for pregnancy - mr_bassman suggested the photo I had taken on the weekend. doushkasmum can you load it onto the A photogallery?
