Away from home

I'm house sitting at the moment. The opportunity for escaping my own home would have been a relief a week ago but this week, not so much. We were having the architraves painted, which meant all the furniture was gathered in the middle of each room like a herd of very large, angular cattle that you were likely to stub your toe or bang your shin on in the middle of the night on the way to the bathroom, so the place was a disaster area. The painting's all done now though, and it looks quite nice. I had time to put the living room, my bedroom and my study back in order and then I had to come house-sit for my buddy who's gone to Tokyo for 10 days. Oh well, she always nice enough to bring me presents back, so I guess I can wait a little longer to be home and enjoy my slightly spruced-up premises.

But being away from home has meant I haven't been motivated to do the things I might normally when at home, like bother cooking, or the big one being look at the internet. Emails have been piling up and I haven't even opened my flist in aaaaages. Instead I've been spending all my time playing the new Tomb Raider (which, OMG, IS SO AWESOME). But today I thought I should get some Stuff Done. However, I'm sure you'll all agree Stuff cannot be Done until one is up to date with the world and all one's f-list goings on!

And in other procrastinative measures, I might even end up doing some writing. Depends on how badly I'm trying to avoid that Stuff I was supposed to be doing...
