Procrastination

valis2So I have six days off in a row, and I'm in day five, and I'm having a bit of a crisis. No, I haven't run out of squid soap. And crisis isn't exactly the word. But it's close.
I just feel like I could have gotten something done in these days, and I really didn't. I have this one massive project in my closet that needs a lot of unbroken time; I had thought that I would do that, but instead I remembered that I should really craft things, as I have a craft show at the end of this month and I'm running out of stuff.
I did neither.
This week has turned into the Mother of all Social Invitations week.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blumsmile and family are in town, and I desperately want to spend time with her and her loved ones; a friend's brother is in town, and we are supposed to go canoeing; the friend's brother is having a big party on Saturday; the friend's family is having a Fourth party (tonight) that we are supposed to attend. Plus I have invited my wonderful friends over, but I (literally) can't find a day free!
And I need to clean the apartment.
And work on the website, which has been horribly neglected.
And start on my Prophecy costume.
And about a million other things.
The first weekend I came back from WI I was CHARGED UP and I did more in one weekend than I usually do in a month. Now I wish I could harness that energy again. I keep getting stuck in these procrastination loops, where I go to bed too late, and then get up too late, and it robs me of motivation. Plus, going to bed late isn't because of something useful...it's because I'm playing some game or wandering about the internet, so these extra few hours are completely squandered. Argh!
