Last night I exercised by lifting weights, only for a minute though. I wanted to use a new treadmill we got, but I didn’t have the key (it was left at the home of the relative who discarded the machine). Hopefully today I can get on that instead.

This morning I didn’t sleep nearly as late as yesterday, although I’m pretty sure that’s because there was a dog barking outside from relatively early (I’m not sure of the time but it was still mostly dark out, so maybe 5AM?) up until recently (its 1:30 PM). I woke at 11 AM. I feel pretty awake, but perhaps not entirely refreshed. I went to bed last night with a lot of digested food in my gut, which made me feel very uncomfortable and caused me to wake at least once. The thing is, although I did eat late, I knew this was food from around 6PM. I guess the timing was right but next time I won’t eat so much around the same time.

Anyway, after waking I got some things done, but I wasted too much time on the computer. By “wasting time” I mean that I was reading the news, which really isn’t a waste, but it still wasn’t getting done many things I need to do.

For today…

Must do:

-Interview after 4pm.

-Clean in pet room (this I more or less promised to do today, with or without help).

-Blog (I’m even doing 2 today!)

-Research.

-Write a resume.

Might do:

-Clean around house.

-Exercise.

-E-mail

-Make something for someone.

Extra:

-Shower.

I know a shower shouldn’t really be “extra”, but I have so much other stuff to do that I just tacked it on there. Chances are I’ll get that done, but… just noting that at this point its secondary.

So far I’ve:

-Checked email.

-Made the resume.

-Cleaned up a bit in the kitchen.

-Blogged once.

-Cleaned the cat litter.

-Researched.

I want to wait until after my interview to clean in the pet room, and to exercise, so I’m not gross beforehand. Well, I could shower of course, but then I’d have to do my hair which makes more work in the long run. Besides, there’s plenty of time after the interview to get that all done.

So far with the research I’ve actually done very little. Only a few pages. I just can’t get myself into the groove. I would like to exercise to wake up more, perhaps to help become more focused, but as I said already I don’t want to get sweaty. I wasn’t anticipating waking so early, so I have more time than I estimated. This is good, of course, except for the fact that my interview is so late and a lot of the things I have to do are best saved until after.

Or, I could just be making excuses. That’s more likely. Still, short of pushing myself to do stuff I don’t want to, I think my best bet is to wait to exercise and clean after the interview when I’ll be sort of hyper from the whole experience and wanting to work off adrenaline. So, it seems energy saving to wait. I’ll save my energy now for the interview and use the momentum from after to do more work.

In saving energy I’ve ventured to do more research, but I still only get done paragraphs at a time. Its a little sad. I’m considering napping for a little bit, but I think that would be counter productive. Also, the dog is barking again. I could make that something that I need to for a family member. In fact, that’s a good idea. The question is, will I do it now? Who knows.

It seems laziness is creeping back in on me. Perhaps this morning will be a lazy one. But I still anticipate this evening to be energetic and worthwhile. For now, though, I’m going to work on visualizing success at my interview, and how exactly I’m going to make my offer on rate of pay.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

From the last post to about 3pm I took a nap. I felt good after but, honestly, it wasn’t necessary. I would have rather had exercised and then showered, but I’ve already outlined why I didn’t do that.

The interview went well, and as promised when I got back I cleaned the pet room with the help of my house-mate. It really needed it. I also did something else that I was planning on saving for tomorrow.

What I didn’t do was exercise or shower, but I will probably exercise before this night is up. I may even do more research as I sort of skimped on that today out of tiredness.

Overall, truth be told, it was a pretty lazy day. I think my nervousness for my interview sort of kicked me down a few notches. Still, I got done the one thing that REALLY did need to be done, so I am satisfied. I feel ready for tomorrow and getting all my chores done and maintaining the cleanliness of my home.
