Wherein I attempt to pay my water bill

1. Remember water bill is due.
2. Sit down at desk.
3. Realize none of the things you need are at the desk.
4. Get pen.
5. Sit down at desk.
6. Go get checkbook.
7. Sit down at desk.
8. Go get actual freakin' water bill.
9. Sit down at desk.
10. Realize cup of tea has been steeping for about twenty minutes.
11. Go fix cup of tea.
12. Sit down at desk.
13. Retrieve cup of tea from kitchen, where you left it.
14. Sit down at desk.
16. Actually fill out check to pay water bill.
17. Remember half the bill goes in the envelope with the bill.
18. Try to figure out which half, clearly unable to see RETURN THIS STUB WITH PAYMENT stamped on the bill.
19. Put stub and check in envelope.
20. Fill out envelope.
20a. Cut lip on envelope.
21. Go get stamp.
22. Get one foot out the door before realizing you're wearing a t-shirt and nothing else.
23. Put on clothes.
24. Go to mailbox.
25. Halfway to mailbox, remember you wanted to take out the trash at the same time.
26. Give up.

Things I have to do in this state of mind:
1. 3-5 page paper, am in the tall grass.
2. Creative writing assignment. Telly helped me retrieve the images, so am slightly less in the tall grass.
3. A metric fuckload of Russian homework
4. Study for mythology test.

Arrrgh.

The Georgelet tried to eat the tower of Minas Tirith a minute ago. It was kinda cute. Now he's lounging in full extension mode, and several things are in danger of falling off the desk. I find myself unable to care.

Oh! I finally finished my long slog through the muck known as Constantine, so expect my review/rant on that to be up later, as I attempt to wriggle my way out of the tall grass.

That is pretty much EXACTLY what happens when I pay the water bill... except that my roommate puts it on my desk when we get it (a week before it's due) and I leave it there until the morning-of-dueness, at which point I scribble out a check and implore her to take it to city hall that day...

Bills are stinky.

This is why I only pay my bills online these days.
