early this morning I saw, hey, there is tea spilled on the carpet, let's clean this up so it doesn't stain. I went into the laundry room to grab carpet cleaner and then became distracted because I thought my roommate was standing there only it was the vacuum cleaner with her beach hat placed on the handle. went downstairs and sprayed on the cleaner, swiping at a small drip on the air mattress that was on the floor next to the spill. hmm, this smells like bleach, that's nice, it will clean well.
...
tonight come downstairs OH GOD WHY IS THE GREY CARPET LIGHT BEIGE oh yeah great that was bleach, hey what does bleach do, idiot, it bleaches things.
to add insult to injury the spot on the mattress is also, oh, very clean, but bleached.
my immediate thought (after the horror) -- okay, just dye the carpet spot grey, we'll try to match the color and
STOP
NO
STOP
really stop before you hurt yourself, quit making plans to dye the carpet.

no lists and sketches, instead I just freak out. skip the middle.
[I just removed a small feather from the pin-holes venting computer-air, and it is a reminder that sometimes I determine how good a day it is by remembering if I saw an interesting bird.]

A lot of my time pre-vacation was spent trying to shove as many activities as possible into a day. I had high hopes for post-vacation but today I seriously considered smashing my cell phone against the road and leaving it there to die an electronic death.
Sometimes there's this moment when I lie in bed in the morning and think about what I have to do and it gets harder and harder to move. My limbs begin to sink.
One of the better solutions might actually be to go back to my system of lists and sketches. Write everything out on paper with strange line-drawings to accompany the more mundane points.

Eating lychees in bed made me think about balut.
