Today I'm in the mood for work. The kind with checklists a mile long. I hatched this plan late yesterday afternoon while sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for a phone call - with watching Oprah and seeing a movie with a friend on my evenings list of "to-do's". I have a lot of things I need to do, I thought and I wrote down an action plan for today.
Let's get this straight, I make a lot of lists. Often, most of the things don't get done. The day before I have the best of intentions but more often than not, something gets in the way: extreme exhaustion, interuptions, tasks taking longer than anticipated or maybe I just feel like baking instead. The possibilities are endless.
So this morning I popped up. Literally. (I never pop out of bed.) I marveled at the good nights sleep. (I never get a good nights sleep.) And I happily took the dog out in the 10' degree arctic chill (I never happily take the dog out.) I scurried around and made coffee, breakfast, watched Matt and Meredith banter about, went to the gym, went to visit Grandma. And right about now I'm feeling pretty good. Accomplished.
Next up:
laundry
filing
wedding planning
finding a plumber to fix a leaky pipe in the roof (or should I be looking for a roofer?)
bathroom cleaning
Wish me luck.
