loss of time

A strange thing has happened to me in the last couple of days: I thought this week was next week. This has been going on for the last few days.

I know this does not sound at all groundbreaking (it really isn't) but it is very strange to me (but probably not to anyone else). Why is it so effecting of a circumstance? Usually when one is mistaken as to where they are temporally it is usually a few hours off and usually does not last very long. I've been off by a week for a few DAYS.

This is also important (to me) because a lot is happening at the end of next week:
1) My work is having an inspection a week from this Monday.
2) There is the Black Hat Conference next weekend (http://www.blackhat.com/) and I'm super excited for it.
3) My lease is up at the end of next month and I'll have to start looking for a new place (though I may have found one already *fingers crossed*)
4) I have a fishing trip with my father that needs to come together in August or the first of September.
5) Next month is either a wedding I'll be having to attend or PAX (both on the same weekend)

I have a lot of stuff to get taken care of for next month. "So what? Minus the conference and the inspection that's all NEXT month." Well yes it WAS next month, now it's next month PLUS one week! The anticipation appointments were becoming as stressful as the appointments themselves.

Essentially, I have an extra week. Its like getting a bonus to your paycheck without knowing--at first you're excited then your realize you don't know what you're going to spend it on (assuming you have all you really need at the moment). Or its like having a college paper moved a week when you've already been working hard on it (probably the better example, but I'll leave the bad one there anyways).

So what does one DO with a free week? That's what I'm trying to figure out. I plan to do more writing, but I've been saying that for the last two weeks with no change in my output. I thought about traveling somewhere, but I have to paint my parent's house this weekend and next week we do have to prepare for this inspection. But because I feel like is have this "gift" I feel the need to use it.

I guess I, technically, have a week to figure this all out.
