Feeling Strangely Fine

How like you to make the whole world disappear and
How like you to make everything seem so clear and
How like you to make me want to stay forever
Here behind your door

I opened the jar of assorted chocolates that has been sitting on my desk for a week now. Chocnut, Flat tops, Curly tops, and other positively sinfull delicacies from home. I tore open the chocnut and popped it into my mouth and savored the goodness of rich creamy peanut-butter flavored milk chocolate. I then reached for a flat tops, and then another and then another.... "I'm eating chocolates again!" I said out loud and reached for another, "I don't care!!!" Myra (the person I share an office with) suddenly burst out laughing and I soon joined in the laughter realizing what I just did.

How like you to make your love my hideaway and
How like you to make my troubles slide away and
How like you to make me want to play forever
Here behind your door

I am feeling strangely fine today albeit the circumstances of my life hasn't changed much. Work load is still piled up as high as a mountain. There are people to call, people to visit, kids to play with, presents to buy, wrap, and mail, forms to fill out, taxes to file, codes to complete, bios to start, bios to finish, boards to monitor and clean up, websites to update, websites to build, bills to pay, specs to be researched and written, books to read, and the list goes on.

Ah, the list! Well, it helps to make a list of the things I have to do. If I can see them in black and white, it makes it easier to decide which ones need attacking first and which ones to put in the back burner.

I used to be a list freak but lately (actually since I moved to Seattle), making a list has become as tedious as all the work I had to get accomplished. But if I have to get productive again soon, I need my list back!

Minute I got some space and time I
Wanted to get me back in the crowd
Minute I got some peace you found me
Trying to make my way to the loud
What a clown...

It worked!

Song lyrics are from Semisonic's DND from the album Feeling Strangely Fine. I do feel fine today. And I do want to cross out as many items from the list as soon as possible so it's closing time!
