A sorry state of dither

desperanceReally, I should be finishing off my accounts for the year, and sending them to my accountant to be converted into tax returns. It wouldn't take an hour.
But I have had a severe case of dontwanna all week, and it is manifesting again. Also, the cat is sitting on the bank statements, which is kinda definitive.
I do sort of feel I have done enough today, while at the same time recognising that I have done almost nothing. I got my boiler fixed! [Um: I lingered in the house for half the morning. I might have used that time usefully, but did not.] I did something useful and important for a friend! [I went to the station, met the person I had arranged to meet and brought a package home. It wasn't exactly strenuous, except for walking in the rain.] And that's about it. Oh, I did read through a redrafted story while I waited for the train, but, y'know. Forty minutes.
And now, as I say, dontwanna. I think I'll leave the cat in possession of the finances, and go work out some kind of dinner that I can prepare in daylight and cook in the dark. I have chilli and cauliflower, pasta and cheese; I am thinking some kind of ridiculously elaborate mac-and-cheese encompassing the cauliflower and laid on a bed of the chilli (three comfort foods in one!), which will only need to go in the oven later. [I woulda fixed the kitchen light, but, y'know. I've been busy...] And then when I've cooked, perhaps there will be wine and Buffy. And something to munch. I am much in a munchy mood these days.
In other news: by definition, I now have a dozen pieces of original Bryan Talbot artwork in the house. How tempted am I, to tear open the tissue-paper wrapping and hang them on my walls?
