Desperate situations call for desperate actions. I, Moira Anne Philomena, have made....a schedule. Not any normal schedule either. No. This schedule has been created to fit my every day-day.
And why have I chosen such an extreme course of action? Well I got to thinking on how much stuff I have to do, not only in my real life, but also in my "cyber" life. None of the stuff I online is actually extremely important (with the exception of A.P.), but there are a lot of things that I do online that help me balance out my real life. My problem was this: I needed to make it so that the things that I wanted to do on the computer wouldn't take time away from the things that I needed to do. So I devised a list that (if followed) should take care of that problem, and make me a very happy camper.
Right now I'm treating the schedule as "The Almighty List", because I know that my greatest temptation will be lessening its value and making allowances for myself.
I don't understand how I got through this morning. I worked quite a bit yesterday and went to bed really late...like 4:00 am late. Then I woke up at 8, went to Mass (it lasted about 2 hours), went to breakfast and stayed talking with some friends for a couple of hours. Now it's 3:00 pm and I haven't even taken a nap. I can only hope that this sleepless-ness keeps up.
As for the 4:00 bedtime...well, I can explain that. I had borrowed an Agatha Christie book from the library ("And Then There Was None") and I wanted to start reading it. So I lit a candle (dad had been doing some wiring in the basement and my lights would go on and off) and started reading it. I was "hooked from page one", it was simply impossible to put it down. Well, needless to say, I finished the book in a few hours. I couldn't get to sleep after that ( ) so read some online comics. After about an hour, I was zonked, and I flopped back into bed and promptly fell asleep.
I hate for this to be a strictly "what I did today" post, but that can't be helped, as I have to clean up my room before all chaos breaks loose.
