I think since it's October, I'm going to try this getting up and going to bed at a decent time thing

Last night I took things I never wear out of my closet and bagged them up for Goodwill and put away the clean laundry that had been piling up for two weeks. We can totes do this thing.

Also, I really need to work at getting to bed before 2am. And making sure I have actually set my alarm since I woke up at nine this morning and I'm supposed to be at work at 8:30. Oops.

[earlofcardigans]

high five, us!

Maybe we should set up some sort of accountability system. If you text me at, say, your midnight and tell me to go to bed and I text you at my midnight and we haven't yet, we should get Danielle to tell us what's wrong with our lives and exact some sort of punishment.

I mean, what was I doing at four in the morning? Ready Darcy fic and watching Buffy. I can do that ANYTIME. GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP ALREADY.

Ugh.

I'm tired of feeling useless.

[honeymink]

That's a good resolution. I should do that myself.

[earlofcardigans]

If you want to do it with me, I'll make, weekly? biweekly? posts and we can check in with what we have accomplished?

I don't even care what it IS, I just want to do something that isn't nothing all day.

[honeymink]

Sounds like a plan. I'm in! Weekly? Might prevent us from slacking... (or not).

[earlofcardigans]

Woo!

In all honesty, I'm sure I'll be making near constant posts as a form of procrastination!

I need to go through my stuff too. And donate stuff I know I'm never going to wear again, regardless of sentimental value.
And I need to re-arrange my clothes for full fall/winter potential.
Oh. The joys.

Hi.

[earlofcardigans]

You should. You can keep some things for sentimental value. Like, I have this system: if I haven't worn it in a year at least, it's gone. If I think I can't fit into it, try it on and if I like it, keep it, if not, gone. But if I have something that I know I've had since high school and can't ever wear again, I put that in the back. I check on it every year and decide to keep it or toss it.

I have gotten rid of a few things along the way, but I refuse to keep things in the in between phases of my life. It has to be tied to something specific. And if I have no pictures of/with/for it, then I definitely keep it.

I don't keep much stuff. You already know that about me.

Okay, I'm off to eat and do the dishes. Busy busy.

It's probably bad that seeing this on my f-list made me realize for the first time that oh my god it's already October, but you know, I think I'm going to try this too! I've been making progress recently on the wearing actual clothes every day front, but the going to bed at 5:30 am (after lots of "just one more fic") and waking up at 2 pm probably needs to stop.

[earlofcardigans]

ugh look how long my responsibility lasted? i can't even reply to comments.

how are you doing with the month now that it's half over?

[hermionerd]

Not nearly as well as I probably should be, but I've been more productive than usual, which is nice!

[earlofcardigans]

I think no one is as productive and they should be. Let's hope the second half of the month is better for us both.

[why_me_why_not]

I went to bed as soon as I got home last night (around 5pmish), got up around 3am for water, and didn't get out of bed until I had to go get Davey from school. Yay migraines? My October is off to a bang-up start.

I like your ambition though! GO YOU!

[earlofcardigans]

migraines are throwing off so many of my plans.

i'm still doing something everyday though.
