Feb. 29th, 2008 10:27 pmWeirdshift is done for now, so I can go back to a schedule that I can almost pretend to be normal. I think I shall take off from work on Monday, which will make for a nice 4-day weekend for me (to make up for the 1-day weekend I had last week). I like weirdshift. It's different enough to shake things up, but not too common that it becomes a chore.
I feel like I'm going to the same places, doing the same things, and at the same times entirely too often. I feel like I'm busier on the weekends than during the week. I feel like I haven't done nearly enough of what I want to do, what I need to do.
I want to sleep 12 hours at a stretch. I want to pour my Lego out onto what precious floorspace I have and build something crazy out of it. I want to pick an entire anime series or two or three, stream it through my projector, and watch it from beginning to end in a giant marathon. I want to visit someplace that I haven't been to in a long time; or haven't been to at all despite how close it may be geographically. I want to finish overhauling all of my railroad engines, lay down some track and run some trains. I want to experiment and see how well this Jones' strawberry-lime soda jives with Yukon Jack and what else I have in my stash of booze. I want to chill. I want to turn off my phones, my computers, my lights, and give my brain the reboot that it needs so badly yet gets so infrequently.
The most frustrating part about it is, I've been able to do that all along and have no reasons, only excuses, about why I haven't done so. I am blessed with a level of self-empowerment that many can only wish to have, and cursed with the lack of ambition to use it.
Hm, at least I got the 12-hour snooze done today.
