Day Ten, Wednesday Again

Darn, I forgot the list downstairs and I am waayy to lazy at this time of night to go get it, so tonight I will have list à la memory. Here's what I think I wrote down:

• Momma in the morning
• Keep working on the sideboard
• Bills
• DVDs
• Kitchen Drawers
• And something else I can't remember
• Maybe two things I have forgotten the details of

Okay so Here's what really happened. I did in fact work on the sideboard, sorting all morning, and even after Momma came over I worked while we visited. She must have the patience of Job,  listening to me talk while sorting through my children's artwork from years gone by. I know each sentence would trail off dreamily ( that word is only used to express the tonality of my voice, in real life I think it must have been annoying!) as I started reading some enchanting poem or story Prima or Primo wrote ( just in case there are actual readers out there, I did NOT really name my children one and one, these are just pseudonyms to keep them from being mobbed by fans when they are in public). I'm sure it took all my mother's strength to keep herself from lunging across the room and tearing what ever was distracting me out of my hands so I would finish the sentence. But I digress. The art and other memorabilia is all sorted out so that part is done. Now I only have to sort through...the rest of it.

So, yes , item no. 1, my mother came for a visit, which was delightful and the company while I worked, was very welcome. We chatted and ate sandwiches and shared a root beer with lunch. It was a lovely visit, though she wasn't feeling well and I always feel a little helpless when she is having what she terms a "bad body day" because there is nothing I can do for her.

I did not look at bills, this must be done tomorrow! And that's all I have to say about that.

DVDs, are still in a dusty stack, just like yesterday, I have neither moved or dusted them. This item will continue to go on the list until I do it just to keep it from going on the list again! But at least I know of one thing that will be on my list tomorrow.

I was inspired to add kitchen drawers today, when I was looking ( well digging actually) through one of the two  junk drawers we have in the kitchen. So I added it, thinking that it wouldn't take long and I could probably consolidate the two into one and have an extra utensil drawer, or something wonderful like that. HA! I didn't even look at them, except to grab a pen to write something on the calendar. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

Since I know there were more items on the list but can't remember what they are, I think it's safe to say that I didn't do them. But I will keep them in mind when crafting tomorrow's task pool.

Here's a funny accomplishment that I just realized, I didn't eat out at all today. In fact I don't think I left the house other than the walk I took with Prima after dinner. And oddly, I didn't mind at all. Usually I get super stir crazy when I've been home all day. Also, we had vegan dinner tonight because Prima wants to have vegan Wednesdays for herself, so we will have vegan dinner Wednesday nights in solidarity. Though the rest of us had decidedly non-vegan after dinner nibbles, she was a total trooper and didn't give into temptation.

Overall it was a medium productive day, I am still moving forward with projects even though they are moving slower than I had hoped. I keep thinking that I should have accomplished more than I have and that at the end of this time off I will have wasted two, precious months of time off. Although, I haven't turned in my request for a leave of absence and no one is beating down my door for it. Maybe this will be permanent ?!?

I will keep to the list format at least through this week, and maybe starting next week, I will look at the list of big projects I made earlier and set one of those as a big goal. Something flashy to be excited about and proud of in November.

P.S. I LOVE dandelions, and they are always welcome in my garden. : )
