Home sweet home

Home at last! Home in my messy room in my messy apartment. Home in the arms of my lovers and loved ones. It was especially nice of coyote3502 and deedeebythebay to pick me up from the airport. And especially nice to be greeted by them upon my return.

Gawds, but it feels good to take off all my clothing and wander around the apartment naked. Clothing is so overrated...

I don't know if I'll ever fly continental again... or at least, certainly not until I've lost a lot more weight... on the way over I was seated next to a very overweight couple. The seat was a squeeze on its own, but with them next to me I wound up very uncomfortable. My back is killing me.

On the second leg I had the row to myself and got to see Lost In Translation, though, which was nice.

More in other posts, later. Now, sleep.

Investing

So let's say you have on the order of 50K to invest. Anyone have opinions about CDs vs. mutual funds (or other options)?

Edit: You also won't be touching the money in question for 10 years or so.

Feeling overwhelmed

I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed by my to-do list.

I should

• finish that damned contract
  
• work out
  
• clean the dishes in the kitchen -- dragon_spirit can't, and we're running out of utensils some are still left, but mostly cleared up.
  
• go through snail mail
  
• check on and possibly pay bills
  
• clean my room
  
• do another one of those shampoos, and then do laundry
  
• get the scale and speakers I bought set up and running
  
• plan things for Naming Got the ball rolling

I know that far and away, the thing that is making me most stressed and unhappy is the contract, and so I should finish that. But I also know that focusing solely on that will make me miserable. How can I find a sane balance?

Oh, and I'm also still feeling pretty unstable emotionally. :(

Edit as of 11:37:
Feeling better. Plans are to do laundry next, and then if there's time do some cleaning or some work. After therapy tonight I'm going over to the Choir Loft to get work done in company.
Edit as of 13:05:
ok, set up the scale and took a shower because I felt all stinky. Did more Naming planning. Laundry is assembled, I am dressed, and now it is time to pack up the laptop, some work, some laundry stuff, and haul my ass over to Brainwash. Ah, the joy!

Last minute invites

Is there anyone I know who wants a last minute invite to my Naming weekend at Annwfn July 9-11?

If I don't know you well, I might not invite you. I also might invite you but not include you in the personal ritual stuff. We'll see.
