obstacles

in the way of my living my life like a normal person:

* need to get glasses
* need to get prescription to get glasses
* need to see optometrist to get prescription for glasses
* need to reserve car on phillycarshare to get to
* optometrist to get prescription for glasses
* need to pick up phillycarshare membership card
* to reserve car to drive down to optometrist to
* get prescription for glasses
* need to get someone to drive me back from
* optometrist (after they dilate my eyes) with
* prescription for glasses
* need to coordinate schedules with this someone
* who maybe could drive me back from the optometrist
* who I need to see for the followup visit so they will
* release my prescription to me so I can finally get
* glasses and new contacts so I can see

why is everything so difficult? don't even get me started on the rest of my To-Do list:

* Spring Cleaning
* Stop Being Depressed
* Finish Dissertation and Get Out of Grad School
* and Move Somewhere with a Proper Spring
* and Fall and Close to the Ocean and Get a House
* So I Can Stop Living On A College Campus and
* Actually Live a REAL LIFE

that last one, especially. that one's a doozy.
