getting things DONE

 I have been STRESSING about girl scout cookies all week - we got our presale boxes a week and a half ago and hadn't delivered any because we lost the order form. And cookie booth sales started last week but I hadn't signed up for ANY. So anyway, I found the order form, my kid excitedly delivered a couple neighborhood orders, contacted the troop leaders about signing up for booths, and I'm picking up a credit card reader tomorrow. I have plans to get her a new vest (she is a Junior this year, last year she was a Brownie), and also I bought a bunch of easter stuff because why not. 

Tomorrow is Therapy Day and I'm still not sure what I'd like to focus on. Communication? That's been a bust in the past. I think my biggest concern now is finding energy, but I might also be a wee bit sick. Like, right now I'm feeling pretty energized... I mean, motivated anyway, about the cookie stuff, but all day I've been dragging my feet and so tired. I wonder though, like really, is it because I haven't been doing any of the things I've planned for yet? I finally got watercolors for a project I want to try, but of course I don't try it. I've felt kind of down all day but part of it is I'm longing for a connection that I just can't get in my regular routine... but maybe that need for connection is also a need for newness? I've been playing a lot of minecraft, and I like it, but it's just not pushing the right buttons today. I wish I were energized enough to go outside, take the baby to the park or something, make ice cream with the kids, SOMETHING. 

Yeah, like, I was kind of downer all day and my oldest asked me to play Mario with her (I dragged my feet because I'm SO BAD, but hey I'm not worse than my younger kids that she regularly plays with, so she was really excited) and we had fun! We laughed! I had to stop to make dinner, because we FINALLY busted out the girl scout cookies so we needed to eat dinner first (heh) but I felt a lot lighter after that. Maybe not energized, but... not so feet-dragging-needing-dissociation that I'd had all day. 

I just remembered I was thinking about texting the cookie people that provided their phone numbers, asking if my kid could bring cookies to school. Maybe I'll pick her up on Friday so we can stay and distribute cookies, that actually sounds kind of fun if they'd let us. 

Something else I need to get done, is my favorite sister sent me a cookbook that's been in my wish list for a while, they're supposed to be easy "healthy" comfort food. And goodness me I need some of that. With an emphasis on the easy and comfort. Heh. I need more healthy, too, I keep meaning to start up my smoothie era again but I forget. I just want some fiber and vitamins and whatnot. So I'm going to look through it a little (I had looked through the meatless, but that's a goal for future me). Oh shoot I just noticed the time aaaaaarrrggg maybe I'll just casually peruse it after I'm ready for bed, trying to feel sleepy. Hmph. Silly me, actually USING my time and running out of it. Rude.
