My Sad Little List

OK. I make lists. It is the way I navigate through my various responsibilities. It is how I remember what needs to be done and how I track my way through accomplishing everything.

Here was my list for this holiday weekend:

1. Trash out shed and take yard sale stuff to porch
2. pressure wash house and concrete
3. Clean/Wash truck
4. Filing project
5. get IRS stuff together
6. checking account reconciliation
7. scrape mudroom ceiling
8. try paint sample on bedroom ceiling

Out of these 8 things I was able to cross two off my list - I have now pressure washed the whole house and patio/driveway. It about killed me, really it did. I was so sore and exhausted last night that I could not sleep and woke up this morning with only about 4 hours rest.

I did accomplish enough on the filing project that I felt I could cross it off. The box of papers is gone now and only a small manageable pile left. I did good on this one.

But nothing else happened. Wid would say that I did more in 3 days than she could do in 12 months and I am happy with the fact that I got the outside done and also managed to clean the house today.

Overall a good holiday weekend. Y'all all need to drop by. I'll throw a few steaks on the Weber.

Now it is time to go get in the shower - only 2 more days until I have AC again. Was 92 here today. I am not a happy camper.
