edenfallingToday was the day I Did All The Things.
1. Mailed a package to my Aunt Jan, consisting of three bars of fancy scented soap -- she liked the ones I'd bought her for Christmas in previous years and said she'd reimburse me if I purchased some more. So I did. (I also emailed her a bill. *wry*)
2. Returned two library books. (Also checked out three new ones and put a hold request on a fourth.)
3. Got a haircut! No more hair falling in my eyes, or doing that annoying flippy thing on the nape of my neck! Well, at least not for another six weeks or so.
4. Attempted to buy a new case for my cell phone, since the old one is kind of broken. Failed. Either the Verizon kiosk at the mall just doesn't have a lot of stock, or my phone is already obsolete, because none of the cases were shaped right to fit around the buttons and camera of my phone, grrr. (It's a Samsung Gem, if you were interested.)
5. Bought groceries for the week. Food is good. So are shampoo and conditioner.
6. Did laundry, including my summer blanket, which needed to be put away for the winter. One of the three washing machines failed to drain, so I had to wring all my linens out by hand before putting them into the dryer. Double grrr.
7. Downloaded and organized a bunch of photos I'd taken over the past three weeks.
8. Made a phone date with my sister for tomorrow night, since we haven't talked in a while.
9. Signed up for Yuletide, yay!
10. Changed my sheets and towels.
And last but not least...
11. Got my period. Fucking cramps. *eats chocolate ice cream and fantasizes about kicking evolution in the teeth*
---------------
Things I did not manage to do:
1. Sign up for Ladystuck. That is a project for Monday or Tuesday, I suspect.
2. Write more of "Trollstuck." Well, really, when did I have any time? But even so, that annoys me. Hopefully I will have more success tomorrow.
---------------
The thing about to-do lists is you have to be realistic. There are a bunch of things I would like to do this month that I carefully did not put on today's list, because I knew there was no way in hell I'd get to them. As it is, I only missed two items.
I also like to put on basic things like "get up at X time," "shower & breakfast," "eat lunch," "eat dinner," "bed at Y time," partly because they remind me that life has a basic rhythm, and partly because it is rewarding to check things off the list, so it's a good idea to write down some gimmes. :-)
