impending doom

valis2I'm a little down today. Not because of anything that I really should be down about, honestly, I'm just feeling like I've reached the productivity lull I was worried about.
I've been working like gangbusters for a few months, but now suddenly I'm unable to decide what to do next. I don't feel like doing anything. My petulant five-year-old inner self is stomping her feet about anything I suggest. And it's not like I want to laze around and do nothing, either; I feel like I should be doing something, but I just sit here while my five-year-old self screams about anything I think about doing.
This is very frustrating. I escaped her for a while, but she really came back with a vengeance this weekend. I did manage to get things done, but not as much as I could have by far. I am chalking it up to two things; that time of the month is coming up, and also I am leaving on Saturday for one of my big month-long trips. So I think I'm just feeling unusually grumpy due to the conflux of these two items.
I'm also grumping about my phone. I just bought a new phone, a Samsung Transform. I am loving it so far, but I am noticing that the main Contacts screen isn't including all of my contacts, just my ancient Yahoo email contacts and some other random FB people (not even all the FB peeps, wtf?). My phone numbers (which are what I actually will be using most; this is a phone! grah!) aren't in the contacts at all. I ported them over using Bluetooth, and I can access them by making a new folder on the main page, but I just can't figure out how to get these phone numbers into my main contacts. How useless is that, to have all of these contacts I never use in the main directory? I want my phone numbers there, not in some folder with less functionality. grah. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but I've been through the manual and it doesn't explain this, only how to make folders. Perhaps the phone numbers are in a file because they were ported by Bluetooth.
Even better, I thought I'd just stick everything on SD and put it in my new phone, but the SD card is internal on the new phone! So I'd have to take the cover off and stuff just to get to it. So I figured, fine, I'll just put it on the SD card, pop it in my computer, and then hook the Transform to the computer and pull them out that way. Only the computer refuses to recognize the Transform. I've looked through a couple forums, and the answer for half the people is that the card must be mounted to the USB connection, and once you get the notification you should just mount the card. Only I am not getting the notification, so I'm in with the other half of people, some of whom are suggesting arcane rituals with demons of the night as the only way to get Windows 7 to recognize the Transform.
grah and double grah. I'm just so grumpy and headachey. and whiny. That was obvious, but I had to state it anyway.
No writing has been done. Triple grah. Okay, this definitely qualified for the emo!valis icon.
Fine. I'm done whining for the moment. I will get up and go do something. I want to cross things off my list!
Five year old self: NOES! NOT GONNA! *flounce*
sigh.
