taimatsuWeekend was good. Saturday was birthday-with-Robert, and Sunday was extra-birthday-with-family.
Currently feeling tired, floppy, and annoyed with the enormous hellhole that is this house. There is no food in it, the cat has once again failed to tell the difference between the floor and the litter tray, and the entire place is generally unpleasant. I don't feel like I can ever make a difference to it, and I am unhappy. It seems like there is no point even starting to clear up because it's never going to stay tidy. It just gets worse.
I ought to be doing Japanese for my class tonight, writing thankyou letters, and actually being useful. Instead I am sitting about online feeling sick and pointless.

Date: Monday, 10 May 2004 12:46 pm (UTC)One of my cat's decided that everywhere other than it's litter tray was the toilet mainly my bed and also her own bed (which is just off for a cat)
I ended up taking it to the vet and they said it was basically due to stress( moving house into a house with 2 other cats so now 4 cats in sammlish house one of whom try to beat her up) I've got a spray which I spray where I don't want her to go to the toilet and she seems to have got better.
As for tidying up I'm crap at it but Esther is a member of something called fly lady which is about managing these sort of thigns and one of her tips is get a timer. Set it to 15 minutes and do 15 minutes tidying. Stop when the time goes of and have a break (15 minutes again) and then do another 15 minutes if you have time.
Basically break things down into little jobs so you can feel +ve about the things you have done.
I hope that makes sense. It does seem to work when I actually do it and you can get a lot done in 15 minutes. I find I procastanate for longer than it actually would have taken to do something about it.
Anyway hugs
