She's Lump...She's Lump...
Dec. 29th, 2002 11:23 pmRight now I'm gorging myself on ice cream.
I've also become one of those grouchy apartment dwellers who yell at noisy people. But come on...at a quarter after 11 on a Sunday night, you don't need to be talking at full volume, hanging in the hallway at the top of the stairs.
I've spent most of the weekend (since Friday night, post coffee with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tommx with an unbearable headache. And dizzy. I was up and down from the bed, slathering the vicks on my head, taking the drugs that usually knock out a headache and basically hoping this headache that wasn't a migraine because it was in the wrong part of my head would go away. And it seems that it finally has.
Which means of course that my weekend has been thoroughly unproductive. The fridge didn't get cleaned. The grocery shopping went undone. I haven't found my boots, I haven't fixed my dress...nothing. I did watch a football game. Part of it anyway. And a movie tonight. I haven't done menus or lunches for the week.
I did go all gooshy over a movie tonight. I watched "The Sound of Music" which seemed to have been re-edited with stuff that hadn't been in it before put back. I remember that being one of the three movies I was allowed to stay up late to watch when I was a kid-the other two were "Mary Poppins" and "The Wizard of Oz." Every year, we'd get baths early, have pizza and pajamas on, and special dessert, and be allowed to stay up late to watch the movie. Usually I'd fall asleep before the end, or doze off and watch the endings intermittently, but I don't think I saw the endings for some of those movies until I was eight or so.
I've been reading the "X years ago" meme that people have been posting. And maybe I'll get to it sometime, because it's as good a time as any to reflect on changes...but the one thing I know now is that all the things I was certain of, I'm less certain of than I ever was before. But there are a few things I know...things that are important and essential to me. And yet, even though a few years ago, I was absolutely certain I knew the direction my life was going in, now I know that that was foolish. What I know now is that there are a few things that are very important to me, and that I'll see to it that those happen. Not necessarily this year, but eventually. There's no rush to do them all now. Just as long as they get done. I don't know how much time I have, but I'm not going to forget that there is the possibility of a future and that I have to plan for it, even if I don't know how long ahead the path is.
I will get what's important done. Because I'm me.
