edit-
As of 4:14 I have washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, swept, cleaned the dining table/living room, washed & dried my clothes, taken out the trash/recycling, "got ready" (which means put on makeup to look decent & blow dry your hair), and looked up fonts online.
That isn't a whole lot of activity, but it is more than anything I have done this week combined.
What I have been doing instead of homework, and basic housekeeping: Eating. Chocolate.
My work has had numerous amounts of seasonal chocolate on sale, as much as 90% off. Being that I get 10% off food products in addition to the sale price, I have been purchasing an unholy amount of sweets. It is presumed that for the past 4 weeks, 90% of my diet consists of chocolate or chocolate based products (this is a rough estimate).
First, I went through a bag of Valentines Day themed Lindor Truffles. Bethany and Jordan later surprised me with flowers and a heart shaped box filled with more Lindor Truffles.
Next, I purchased Tim Tams from my work, and have perfected the infamous Tim Tam Slam.
The heart-shaped box of Ghiradelli Squares (again, from Valentines day) went on sale for 75% off, so I bought 2.
Finally, I have been consuming large amounts of Nutella on toast.
The funny thing is, I used to not even have a huge sweet tooth. I used to prefer "actual meals" to desserts and candy. I recently discovered how chocolate really is a method of self-medication. I know this is bizzare and demented but it is so true, and so delicious.
There are times when we "deserve" or are entitled to being lazy/lethargic. I remember when Ted and I first started dating, he was such a distraction to me (he still is now). Instead of studying for midterms, we stayed up almost all night drinking wine and talking on his porch.
ReplyDeleteI don't even remember my midterm grades, but I remember drinking wine straight from the bottle and almost freezing death on the porch.
I'm sure you'll be chocolated-out soon and back to the old, productive, hair drying, recycling Heaven in no time.
