This evening, after dinner and tea and cakes with a couple of friends, I begged off the rest of the evening, feeling tired and wishing to go home and sleep. Finally getting home, I made myself another cup of tea, walked into my room and saw what a state it was in. For the majority of the last 2 months I've been out of my room and it has suffered my rush to get dressed quickly and get to places. I then sat down and read some blog posts, something which I have not done in a while, and after about half an hour, dragged myself away to have a shower. While I was showering I was mentally listing things I should do over the weekend, but then thought "Maybe I can do some now!" and, energised, leaped out of the shower and did a minor clean-up of my room as well as popping some clothes into the laundry. Unfortunately, doing so, I attempted to clean out the lint filter and ended up with water all over the kitchen floor. I then realised that I had been meaning to clean the kitchen for about 2 months and not got around to it, so after mopping up the water and starting the laundry, I washed all the dishes and wiped down the surfaces. The real hard core stuff will have to wait until tomorrow - if I am still motivated enough!

Which is the thing. I hope I still feel this motivated to get things done when I wake up tomorrow morning, the past few weeks I have been real slack. To be fair on myself I have been running myself pretty ragged with a ridiculous mix of having a new and improved social life and attempting to keep up at work. I need to get some real rest to reenergise - thankfully we have 2 weeks off work over Christmas and New Year's and I had previously hoped to be back in 2010 fully energised and ready to deal with the world. Now I hope that this motivation I found so unexpectedly tonight is a sign that I am starting to regain on the masses of sleep I have lost, and that I will be back with more energy even before the holidays. Here's hoping, because there are a few blog posts I hope to write as well as some christmas shopping to do!
