I am *still* in the bedroom. Ack.

Chris came home and was a bastard for a good two hours. I didn't get much done while he was being stupid. And actually, I'm not sure if he's coming back or not tonight. Hmm.

Anyway, I'm headed to the bedroom again, to finish up packing the box I'm almost done with and to put clean sheets on the bed.

I'm still in the bedroom, as well as the office. I accidently updated DisOrganization instead of this blog. Oops.

Had a nice lunch of vegetable bean chili (cleaning out the freezer) and bread from Panera. Back to work.

21 auctions later, I'm going to go clean the bedroom. Cleaning the bedroom's on tomorrow's list, but I'm trying to do quick-ish stuff in between the auctions until I get them done.

Oh, yes. No, I'm not forgetting; I do have to go to the PO today, so I will have to get dressed eventually. (Just in case you're an ebay winner wondering if I've lost my mind. Never fear.)

And I'm back. I've eaten breakfast, but I'm not getting dressed for a little while, I think. It's not like I have to go somewhere, after all. *g*

To hold off boredom, I'm going to do the same thing I tried last night: Post 20 or so auctions, then go do something else on my list, then post 20 or so more, etc., etc., until I'm finished.

And I have plenty more to do today.

My list has been expanded a bit; there's now 20 things on it with 3 things done. Since some of those things are rather time-consuming, I'm going to work from tomorrow's list as well (in between posting the book auctions) and clean a bit as I go along. At least it will break up the boredom of watching text upload to auction screens.

If this works out, I might even get to start writing again by my birthday. Oh, that would be nice. I've only written over lunches for the past couple of weeks, and I haven't been writing much at all.

Here's to hoping.

Okay. *yawn* My eyes are drooping. I can't type. I'm tiiiired.

I'm up to 100 active auctions. Did the dishes. I'm going to bed.

I will try for an all-nighter tomorrow night, after I get a good night's sleep. That sounds good to me.

90 active auctions, and I'm only on the D's. *sigh*

Ah well. I will get them done eventually. Going to do the dishes now.

Laundry is folded and put away. One thing marked off my list. Yay.

And I'm getting tired. Of course. I don't think I'm going to last for an all-nighter, at least not tonight, but I will, however, get 20 more auctions posted, the dishes done, and 20 more auctions posted before I go to bed. So. Onward.

So. Evidently I can post about 20 auctions every 30 minutes. That makes about 40 auctions an hour. Let's see. I had 210 auctions left to post... that would be... 5 hours and 15 minutes to finish them up.

Umm. That's way too slow, dammit, but I can't do much about that. It takes time to upload the text from the QuickPad to the screen. Time to delete the file, switch back to the keyboard, attach the photo to the auction, make sure I chose the right category...

I think this might take a while.

So what I'm going to do--since it's quite obvious that this task will take the longest--is post 20 auctions, then do something else on my list, then post 20 more auctions, then do something else, etc., etc.

So I'm off to fold laundry right now, since I've posted 20 auctions. Well, it was 21, but who's counting?

This weekend's list is fairly simple:

1. Post Rest of Book Auctions

2. Write Up More Auctions

3. Take Photos of More Auctions

4. Post More Auctions

(sense a theme here?)

5. Pack Stuff in Basement

6. Do the Dishes

7. Paperwork!!

I'm sure I'll revise that list a little, but there really isn't much else to do. I'd like to have the rest of the auctions posted (except, perhaps, the clothing, which will take more time) by Sunday evening. I think this is possible. *g* We shall see.

Yes, I've been remiss in updating this... most of the news is over at DisOrganization. At least there are empty shelves in the basement right now. However long that will last, I'm not sure, but... :)
