lay-zee.

it's official, left to my own devices, i am a lazy slob.

Ro is out of the house for a couple days (wed-sat) and i have no motivation to cook, clean or even close the closet doors (which are currently wiiiide open. it wouldn't really be a problem, except that our closets run along one whole wall in the living room, so it's not like they are hidden in the bedroom or anything...)

i don't remember what i ate on wednesday for dinner. i got home really late and think i might have had a bowl of cereal, though. and i went out to eat with a coworker yesterday. tonight, i attempted to make bow-tie pasta with pesto sauce (from a JAR!) and it was awful. i threw the whole batch in the trash. really, who messes up pasta? out of a jar?! can i blame it on the pesto sauce?

i missed cans and bottles day yesterday, even though i was up and out of the house by 8:30, but did manage to get burnable trash out today, on my day off!

i took my friend's almost-3-year-old kid out in tokyo for a total of four hours today and came home and crashed hard on the couch for two hours. it was a ton of fun (and super weird to be called "okaasan" by some guys who offered me a seat on the train) but i don't know how moms in tokyo do it. very impressive.

needless to say, i'm feeling a little bit like a failure so, my goals for the next (little less than) 24 hours, in order of NEED TO GET DONE, ESP. BEFORE RO GETS HOME are:

finish up some stuff for work
clean the shower and bathroom sink drains
wash (all) the dishes
vacuum
do a load of laundry
make dinner
make banana muffins


i know, lofty, right?
