Priorities

Sometimes when you get so focused on one thing, the attention that everything else in your life deserves get diverted.
It's not fair and it's definitely not right. I never thought I would be one of the people that needs a kick in the ass as often as it has recently required to kickstart the responsible and empathetic part of me.
I got too focused on thrying to keep my job and balance that with school and writing papers, that I neglected my loved one and the house seems to have gone to hell.
Not to mention putting myself on the back burner.
So I was reminded how much I love to curl up on the couch and sprawl across each other while catching up on things we like to watch together. And how much fun it is to be random, talk about our days, and just relax.
I didn't realiz how disconnected I was feeling because I kept pushing it aside to accomplish the laundry, the 12-page-paper, the stats assignment, the paperwork, the litterbox, the dinner...
I'm glad S has tolerance for me. And knowledge on how I work or my ass would be cold and alone.
He's in Vegas this weekend for a bachelor party and I'm attacking my environment with a vengance.
After the 10K for Cystic Fibrosis on Saturday morning, of course.
The floors, the closets, the garage, the bathroom (UGH!), the kitchen counters, dusting, mopping, carpet cleaning... by the way, don't ever buy a "steamer" that uses "hot water" from the tap. It just doesn't cut it for deep cleaning.
Already called the consignment shop and I have to do some ironing and it's only seasonal stuff, but I should be able to take in 25 items per week. So in about 4 weeks, I'll have gotten rid of the stuff in my office, ha.
I have to remember that even though school is huge, my relationship is huge-er.
And more important, though interconnected.
