dissonance

1) This morning will be relaxing.

2) This morning I will put the laundry away, do another load of laundry, drive to the farmer's market and buy some veggies, drive to the supermarket and buy some cleaning products, drive to someone else's house and drop off some of the clean laundry I've just done, make a healthy lunch, pat my cat, empty out one of my cupboards and find some way of organising the whole thing, empty out a second cupboard and find a way of putting everything in it into the first cupboard, watch BtVS, and hopefully find some time to sew a quilt cover.



These are both facts that my brain considers to be true.

Ah, yes. My brain does that too.
I've started thinking of it as a sort of multiple-worlds impression of what the word "relaxing" means. Sort of like the many-worlds theory of how the universe is put together. See, if in each world I've performed one of those actions, my morning has been relaxing!

My plan: get on the computer, scan ALL THE THINGS, process a hundred and fifty photos, pet two birds who can't be out simultaneously, clean the kitchen, clean the table (oh - and the birds can't be out while I'm working with chemicals, sharp things, or anything they could swallow), take a shower, read for a while...

..oh, that wasn't relaxing?

I have had a similarly "relaxing" day.
