Is this thing on?

Hello dear readers!

I am pleased to report that I am still alive.  I managed to survive the horrible winter we were having (though our snow fall pales in comparison to Boston).

There's not a lot to report.  I wish I could say that I am ready to update, but I am not.  My wonderful beta has sent back the next chapter of "An Aunt's Love" so I am hoping to get everything ready to go soon.  (THANK YOU, BETA!!!!)

Unfortunately, school has had to come first this semester, and that means that the last thing I want to do when I come home at night is write.  My brain's been exhausted between work and school.  That will all be over soon.  My final assignment is due on April 30th, and that weekend, my best friend is coming in from out of town and will be here for four whole days!!  (Can you feel the excitement?!?!)

Anyone else watching Avengers that weekend?  I know my friend and I are planning on spending some time in the movie theater that weekend to see Age of Ultron. I have a feeling that it's going to be full of sass like the original Avengers.  I've heard tell that there isn't going to be an end credits scene, but I say that there MUST be an end credit scene, as it is tradition in the MCU.

Anyone else have epic plans that weekend?

A bad couple of days

Hello dear readers!

I am still surviving. That's pretty much it at the moment.  Surviving.  I've had a rough few days (more like a rough week) and it doesn't seem to be getting much better.  I have managed getting to work, and then getting home from work, but everything else doesn't seem worth the effort.  Today starts Camp Nanowrimo, but that's not going to happen now.  I just....can't.

Less Stressed and NOPE!

Things are finally starting to settle down. 

One of my evening classes is over and suddenly I have a free evening in my schedule.  I'm not entirely sure what I'll be doing.

Sleeping, maybe?

I don't know.

Sleep sounds awesome.

The other side (practical side) says that I'll have more time to dedicate to other things I should be doing. This all goes back to my post about Motivation, Frustration, and Exhaustion, as I'm pretty sure some of that is impacting my decision to avoid certain adult responsibilities.  These are the boring adult responsibilities that I've been having a bit of struggle with in recent weeks.  Organizing my closet.  Filing old bills.  Paying bills.  Weeding out books I'll never read again and giving them away/selling them.  Setting up that expense spreadsheet I've been meaning to set up. Re-organizing my room. Re-doing my budget.  I find them all boring. I don't want to.

When my brain states: "HEY!  LET'S DO THIS!" the other side of my brain goes:

Nope, nope, nope.  Don't want to.  Can't make me.

It's a struggle, I tell you.

If you have struggles like this, please share in the comments below.  I'd like to know I'm not alone in the whole motivation/adulthood nope-ness of avoidance.
