15.12.98 - Sit back and do nothing

I've been really struggling to keep up with things the last few days. I have tended to concentrate on doing the odd things that I feel like doing at the time and letting everything else slide. I have paperwork to sort through, a credit card bill to pay, jobs to apply for, cards to write out, presents to buy and wrap etc. I just can't seem to organise myself or be self disciplined enough to get anything done. I probably should be doing one of those things right now but here I am writing a journal entry because... well... I feel like writing one! My car insurance is a perfect example of how I would like all the mundane things to sort themselves out. I got a quotation in the mail and I didn't have to do anything. The quotation was good (less than the current year) and it included legal assistance cover which I didn't have this last time round and I could have done with! If I wanted the policy all I had to do was... nothing! If I didn't want the policy I had to write and let them know. Now how easy is that? Sit back and do nothing and it all gets sorted out for you... bliss!

I had almost arranged to go out tomorrow night but it was cancelled at the last minute so maybe that will be my opportunity to get some of these things done. I am going late night shopping on Thursday where I will hopefully get at least 50% of my Christmas shopping done (yeah right) and then I am going out at the weekend, either shopping or going out with friends (unconfirmed at time of going to press. Hehe). I've decided I need to take half a day off work to fit all this in but now I can't decide what day to take... maybe this Friday and oh, I need to get my haircut too. Why am I telling you all this? I really must be struggling for something to write!

I was talking to Pauline about tattoos again at work today. I had almost made up in my mind that I was going to get one done at some point in the near future but then I realised that choosing what image you want tattooed is not nearly as simple as it sounds. First you have to realise that this image will be with you for the rest of your life (unless some tragic accident rips the skin off you) so you have to pick something that you know you will be comfortable with forever. Then you have to pick somewhere to have the thing done and then you have to think of a reason why you want it because people are sure to ask you why you chose that image. I certainly don't want anything with "Mum" written in it and I am not keen on the love heart image. I think if I got one it would have to be all black and I've been told that the all black ink tattoos can give the worst skin reactions (oh great). I'll probably procrastinate over this issue until I die so don't expect any tattoo pictures here for a long while! Hey, I could have a little squirrel tattoo... hehe. Hmmmm.

I got a beautiful Christmas card from my friend Theda this morning. She wrote something really nice inside and all my family said how nice it was. Thanks Theda! It makes me feel awful that I have not sent out Christmas cards this year. I've missed the postal deadline for cards to America now anyway.... oh well.

I'm in one of those strange reflective moods tonight and it's very distracting. It means I am having a hard time focusing and my journal entry seems to be jumping from one thing to another erratically. I think I should stop here before I churn out more rubbish. Looks like I'll be in tomorrow night now so there may be another entry. Aren't you excited? I can tell. Hehe.
