Dear Diary,

A new day begins. Hey, this morning I woke up on time. I was going to go back to sleep but then I realised there was no point to it. I think my automatic reaction is to want to go back to sleep whether I'm tired or not. I suppose that means at some level I'd rather not have to put forth even the minimal effort required to stay awake. How drab.

I have to make some goals for today. One goal is to mail the CDs to Liam. At the same time, I should mail a reply to Nikkie. She doesn't know anything about what's happened to me since I haven't talked to her or written her at all in all this time. So that implies writing her a fairly long letter giving an overview of my life now.

While I'm downtown I should return the library books I borrowed. I have then for another week but I finished one book and haven't even opened the other two lately so that's my cue to return them now. I wonder why I wasn't able to find any exhilirating prospects at the library last time? The one novel I did borrow turned out to be kind of dull. I mean, it had its moments, but when I was a kid I could really delve into books and forget the real world existed.

I think today I should grab a big shtack of books and then I'll find at least one to stir my fantasy. Maybe I should just read a section of each in the library.

Aside from all that, I was thinking I should do some drawing today. If not sketching, then at least a little bit of time on my painting on the computer. At first I was thrilled at the prospect but now I'm realising doing stuff closer up is going to be hard :o/ No matter, my rule shall be that the only thing I use the painting tool on the computer for is that one painting until either it's finished or I officially give up on it.

It's not quite 9 yet. I'm an hour ahead of schedule, so I should grab some letter writing materials and head up stairs to write to Nikkie. I should bring my mini shtack of books (3.. how pathetic) with me so I don't forget, and as soon as I'm done the letter I should haul ass downtown. I should walk. It's sunny out and I haven't had any decent exercise in weeks. Ok. Goals defined. Day beginning in earnest. Toodle-oo.
