bribing oneself
I pursuaded myself to go to work today -this was a struggle- by promising myself that I would leave at 5. How exciting, such a treat to leave at 5, only a nine hour day. Various people at work were conspiring to throw obstacles in my path. Well actually no, that would imply forethought and coordination. Mostly the barriers are from thoughtlessness. I fought them all off anyway and walked out the door. Gee it felt good. Must try to do it more often. I came home through the storm, great clouds and light show(sun and cloud rather than lightening). Bought some nice food. Made the best steak sandwich ever. Drank English Ale brewed by G, yum. Assembled my medicine cabinet, read a Sunday's worth of LJ. Had not done that on Sunday due to entertaining the lovely R, fabulous to have her here.
One of my side neighbours is renovating. Between that and the wind there are many scary noises.
Have now put together all the bathroom cupboards. R helped with the tall one, would have been much harder to attach legs to the bottom of a 179cm cupboard without another pair of hands. Frustrating 'cause I am reluctant to install the two that need to be attached to the wall until I have painted the walls, silly doing that before Papa comes and we rebuild the wall behind the washing machine and tile and stuff. So they will have to languish in a corner for a couple of months I think. Is ok, even just the underbasin cupboards are a big improvement- must put the knobs on. Is going to be great! I could go mad and paint some of the walls so I could put them up? Ah, need to decide what colour the walls will be. Oh goody, I get to play with paint charts again. No, really, I like paint charts, have since I was a kid. I grew up in an repeatedly extended and redecorated house.
Bed soon. Hope the wind makes less nasty waking up noises tonight.
