These are the things I'm bad at, this week:
+ I worked with a woman in Tampa who was like a surrogate mother to me - she cooked for me, bought lunches for me, comforted me when my grandma passed with some of her Brooklyn-blessed macaroni, etc. She is a beautiful person and would do anything for me, even things not related to food. She calls me all the time, but this entire month, I have been bad. I haven't returned a single phone call. I'm so embarrassed. My excuse is: I hate talking on the phone. That's really bad, very stupid behavior. She just wants to keep in touch! And I just have excuses.
+ I know someone who needs me right now and I don't want to have anything to do with her. I just don't. I don't even have a good reason lately, I just don't want to be in her company. But my attitude has to change; it's kind of critical.
+ If you want to know how truly crazy I've become, I will really open up - the last two shopping trips I've made have involved the purchasing of slippers. House slippers, way reduced in price (each pair cost no more than $4). I have three pairs of house slippers now that I didn't even need to begin with, but because I feel most comfortable at home, I thought I must have them. Home. So maybe it's not crazy that I am, but it is lazy. Lazy with a touch of over-consumption.
+ I have successfully resisted the Q-Tip, but I need to share with the world that in addition to having earwax problems, I also have itchy ears. They fucking tickle in there! I don't know what to do about this. I have held Q-Tips inches away from my ears, putting myself in very pressure-filled situations. I know they will relieve the tickle, but I know they will impact my earwax - I just can't have that again!
+ My lack of drinking water is going to send me to an early grave if I don't remedy the situation.

It sound to me not like you are lazy, but that you are in a slump. Happens all the time. Sometimes I don't even want to take a shower. I do. But the mere idea of doing something threatens to push me over the edge. All I can think about is getting in bed and sleeping for about 3 weeks. Come to think of it this happens once every month. You can make it through it. It always goes away.
p.s. I hate q-tips but they make the tickle go away.
p.s.s. I recently did the vinegar acohol thing and it made the tickle go away. Though it didn't smell very good.
hmmm-I am in the same situation. A close friend of mine hasn't been doing so well-and I'm so worn out from the last episode I feel like I don't want any part of more...what's a good word...darkness. Then a family member really needs me--but there's nothing I can do really so I find myself avoiding everyone instead of saying hey I need a break! I'm sorry about your ears....put the q-tips down!!!
also
you seem to have bought out all the widmer at total wine
i could not find a single bottle in gardens
all your fault!
You are so adorable in every way! Everything you do is so very fetching!!!
But call Tampa-granny right away.
Spinny, I just did. ;)
i'm totally hearing the lack of drinking water issue. i woke up yesterday morning w/ a spot of dried blood on my lip from where it cracked during the night. very sexy.
and don't feel too guilty about being bad at keeping in touch. sometimes you need your secret you-space.
I have the same water-drinking problem. It's just impossible. They say you're supposed to drink like 32 ounces of water a day, at least one glass of milk, some green tea for your antioxidants, some red wine for your cholesterol... if we do all that, we'll be peeing all damn day!
I'm supposed to drink a minumum of 64 ounces of water daily on my diet.
Fuck that shit.
I missed you!!!
I never, ever, ever return phone calls. Even to my best friends. I hate the phone so much that I actually turn off the ringer and just stare at the damn thing, willing it to go against my wishes.
So, you're forgiven for that.
I don't like to wear anything on my feet, ever, but I am knitting myself a pair of socks right now, so maybe that will change.
Your posts inspire introspection.
Over-consumption is buying seventy-five dollars worth of yarn. Your houseslippers have nothin' on me.
I don't like someone I know right now, and it is also critical, but if I ignore it long enough, it may go away.
Get some of that earwax stuff at the store. It works. I have earwax issues, too. the problem with the q-tip is once you use it, nothing feels nearly as good.
