Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Every Monday, I run down a list of things I need to do. Every Monday is the day I'm going to quit smoking get in shape eat healthy quit drinking sign up for bellydancing lessons clean my room take a writing class call my shrink finish my novel clean out the closet get a yellow fever shot call super about the tiles update the flamingo book do the dishes buy a new full-length mirror to replace the broken one dye my hair paint my nails buy a frame for that painting straighten out my identity theft stuff catch up on email call my stepbrother update my portfolio pluck my eyebrows give Mulder a bath pay off my credit card debt make some bracelets get a pedicure rollover my 401K and make an appointment with my gynecologist.

Instead, I get completely overwhelmed by everything I have to do and drink a bottle of white wine (I prefer red but it gives me migraines) while watching five episodes of Law & Order back to back. I think it might be an Aries thing. We're a people prone to extremes. For example, see fellow Ram Sean Conrad today.
