Another weekend has come and gone. This one seemed much shorter than usual, largely because I spent way too much of it moving and driving. Tomorrow the grind starts again.
I was fairly productive today, in a trivial sort of way. I got everything unpacked and back, largely, where it belongs. I composed a letter to the people I was housesitting for. I got the website moved over to Blar.org, and edited some of the webring links (Yahoo recently took over the Webring.org people and have made a holy mess of things). I went grocery shopping. And that's about it. Kind of sad really -- no reading, no workout, no dissertation work, nothing but mundane crap. This whole idiotic housesitting thing basically cost me a weekend of productivity.
I was supposed to help an acquaintance from work move a mattress today. He called and gave me a 3-5 pm window. No big deal, as I was busy with the website stuff during that time. I never heard from him. About 5:30, my cell phone rang, well after I had given up and decided to go have dinner. I didn't even bother to answer. It continues to amaze me that people will want me to do them a favor, and then make it inconvenient as hell for me to do so! What sense does that make? I don't have time for it, nor do I have the patience.
I was telling Callie last night that ever since I've been taking a multivitamin supplement that has Ginkgo Biloba in it, I have had amazing clarity of thought. I've also been much less tolerant of just about everything and everyone. I don't think that's directly due to the Ginkgo (i.e. it having a chemical affect that tests my patience). Rather, I think it has improved my own clarity and thinking skills -- sharp enough beforehand! -- that things just seem so clear that I really no longer have any conception of how people can't understand. *shrug*
