Feeling Trunky

Why, when I have the most to do and dwindling time in which to get everything done, do I feel so paralyzed?

There's all the things on the wedding to-do list (make calls, purchases, appointments). And the getting-ready-to-move things, like collecting boxes, changing addresses again and figuring out the most economical and hassle-free way to get my stuff from CA to TX. Oh, and I have to figure out how to make this journey with a persnickety cat.

Then there's the stuff I need to do to get ready to leave work. There's the "daily laundry"--the tasks I do daily/weekly anyway and don't want to appear to be blowing off although I'm seriously trunky* and can't really see tackling the stack of files under my desk after they've resided there for a year. (Trunky: a term used to describe missionaries on the verge of wrapping up their service--everything's in their trunk ready to go home waaay before they're scheduled to actually depart).

I also need to tidy things up for the person taking over my work by writing up my desk procedures, updating computer documentation and cleaning out my files. You know, the stuff I could have been working on when our plans/time line started to become clear and still haven't done?

I have 10 years' worth of personal email to clean out of my Eudora before wiping it. I don't want to trash everything; it's my history. But I'm also not making progress in sorting through what I do want to keep and putting it in a portable format.

The last time I looked at the clock , it was noon. Now it's 1:00 pm and I can't tell you where that last hour went or what I was doing. Only that I'm ravenous and I didn't spend that hour doing anything I should be doing. Foo.
