Got up and was at work in time for a meeting. Unfortunately, the meeting was cancelled because someone was sick. Guess I skipped breakfast and ran to work for fun. I didn’t even leave early tonight. Silly me. I was writing, and I just went with the flow, and suddenly it was 7 PM. I’m supposed to leave at 6:30. I’ve been a slacker this week though, so I can use the extra hours.

We had a ReadWriteThink status meeting this afternoon with our partners at IRA. Pretty much status quo. Fortunately, Sharon fed me leftover rice before the meeting, so I didn’t expire. I’m beginning to think that I’ve been so tired and falling asleep at work because I haven’t been eating or drinking. I’ve been sitting there trying to get things done and suddenly I’ll realize that it’s late in the afternoon and I’ve never even gotten a drink of water. I can’t seem to get my eating in order either, so I end up with nothing there to really eat. I think I went all day Monday eating and drinking nothing till I came back home, and I know there were similar days most of the time I was in the office last week. Yesterday, I found time for tea and even ate some crackers, and I was remarkably more awake. I wouldn’t have thought that food would do that, but it’s the only explanation that I can come up with.

Sharon is still threatening me with an intervention. I just can’t snap out of it, and all my belongings are still in the car. Well, that’s not true. I brought in my dirty clothes on Saturday, so that I could wash them. And Monday, I actually dug out my hair dryer. I think her intervention mostly entails emptying my car, but my house is such a wreck. I can’t have her coming in here. I’m such a mess.

Fortunately, this evening I found the miracle of All-American Rejects. After I listened to the PostSecret-highlighting video on sordid blog, I really wanted that album. This evening, I was looking in my iTune library, and there it was. Now, I didn’t buy it. My guess is that my niece put it there when I was in Virginia for Christmas. But regardless, I so nice to find surprise music on my machine tonight.

I also got the tracking number for the lovely TIVO that I ordered over the weekend, and I ordered a wireless adapter so that I can set it up when it arrives. Maybe I’m being a baby, but I’ve just gotten to the point where there’s nothing on TV when I have time to watch it. I end up watching the same episodes of Spongebob over and over and over. On other nights, I really want to go to bed, but I have to wait till I can see The Daily Show. Then I’ll miss something and have to wait for the second showing. I need a DVR in my life. Of course, I still need to clean up my house so that I can install this thing when it arrives. I wish I weren’t such a mess.

I do fear that I’m in my horrible “I’m sad so I’m buying things” phase. I get depressed and do things that I probably shouldn’t. Pretty much the story of my life really. I eat because I’m depressed. I sleep because I’m depressed. I buy things because I’m depressed. I don’t know anymore. I do know that I have been researching TIVO for about 3 months or so. Maybe a little longer. In October I think. When I saw that there were some boxes on sale, and that the sale was ending, I went for it. Who knows though? Maybe it’s the same old pattern. I wish I weren’t so lame.
