Nov. 10th, 2009 08:00 amMy sister is coming home next Friday. It will be good to have someone in the house helping my parents with the boys again. Before, she was overly lethargic and sleeping all the time. A year of sobriety should help with that, but our biggest question is, "for how long?" She's so easily swayed by temptation and so-called friends.
It will be good for my parents to be able to get out of the house more often, away from the boys. Mom and I can start working more on our organizing company and actually make plans to go back to our regular client on a more regular basis*. My dad might start having more energy himself, although that also remains to be seen as he and my sister used to fight like cats and dogs all the time.
*Our primary client had requested we start coming once a week to really start paring down the couple's belongings, helping them more with packing and unpacking for trips, and keeping more tabs on the getting-senile husband's spending habits (e.g. He'll go buy an industrialized sized bag of toilet paper, because he ran out in the bathroom, without thinking to check out the stash of 5 to 10 OTHER industrialized sized bags that he has accumulated in the garage.) They made this request at the beginning of 2009 and Mom and I just haven't had the time to go over there, not once.
In other news, I keep finding myself more and more stressed over how my life has turned out. There are so many things on my to-do list that I keep neglecting, but not for want of living. It's not like I'm just lying around in bed all the time or something. But I know I'm just not being the level of productive that I would like. I don't feel like I'm making any progress and like I'm just constantly spinning my wheels. I put a lot of energy into work, as in My Job work. I always have. But it has always meant that there is very little energy to spare when I get home and am ready to focus on other things.
I've been forcing myself to try and work on little projects that keep nipping at my toes while watching an evening movie. At least I know that while I could have accomplished much more by not watching the movie at all, I've at least accomplished something beside just watching a movie. My love for watching movies and playing games/puzzles are my two primary time-consuming activities that take away from the more productive things, like finally finishing painting my bathroom.
