Let's Try This Again

Wow, it's letting me post now! Yippee!

Okay, so I haven't been absent because of Blogger, I've been absent because I was actually busy with work. Only 2 and a half more days and I'm off to see Carla then my mom in Florida, until then, I'm cramming in as much as I can. I never realized how stressful it can be getting ready for a trip. Actually, it probably wouldn't be so stressful if my many multiple personalities wouldn't get in the way. For ease in understanding the rest of this post, I give you just a few examples of who I am contending with:

Swaperfectionista: Insists on getting every corner of the house clean and organized. Not a bad thing, just difficult when every time I open a drawer or cupboard some random synapse fires telling my brain this means that I have to rearrange that entire drawer or closet, and make sure I remove items for charity and replace those items with something else from somewhere else in the house.

Sworksalotna - Decides that all work for the rest of the year should be completed before I take a 12 day holiday and also insists that every email I have sent over the past one year be re-read, sorted, filed and then backed up.

Swapnasnoozealotna - Figures nothing is worth the worry and she likes to set the alarm for five thirty, get up, walk on the treadmill, take a shower, turn the heat up full blast, then goes back to the bedroom, makes the room pitch black and goes back to sleep all curled up in her towel. Sadly, she likes to go back to sleep until the next day.

Swapnacoveryourass Padmanabh: This one decides that she must cover every possible contingency for possible problems while she is away. This means the paper has to be stopped, then the paper girl has to be called to make sure the paper was stopped, then 2 months worth of cat litter and cat food should be in the house for the cat sitter, not to mention stocking up on groceries, leaving cash in case of emergencies, sending out letters to people who are named as emergency contacts on your alarm system, shoveling the snow and then finding someone to shovel the snow while you are away, then skulking on the weather network site in order to approximate how many times the snow shoveling person will be around, taking all that into consideration and leaving money to pay the snow shoveling person, then deciding it's a waste of money so she cancels the snow shoveler, and then feels guilty that the cat sitter will have to shovel, so she then tries to figure out how to compensate cat sitter for snow shoveling and decides a present is appropriate, so she calls cat sitter's mother to find out what cat sitter would like or needs, and makes a list of gifts to buy. This particular Swapna also tries to buy gifts for everyone she is going to see, by doing this she no longer has any room for clothing in her suitcase, so she's basically screwed.

Swapyourfatassforaskinnyone- This Swapna is rather pathetic. She worries about her fat bum a lot, so as a holiday nears she starts to panic. In order to reduce her sizable fanny she begins a retarded exercise regime that anyone, and I mean anyone, is bound to fail at. Having failed at it, she panics and starts eating non stop. This causes her rotund bottom to swell even further, which makes her even more panicked, so she tries to start exercising again. Unfortunately, by this time she's either too bloated to move or she injures herself on the first day of her regime by trying to up her calorie burning by wearing rollerblades in the house.

So basically, I'm getting very little accomplished other than moving things from one end of my house to another. On the bright side, I do like how I've rearranged things:P

Swapnasnoozealotna is calling, so I'm off to bed, see ya tomorrow!
