Done dids? Really?
Granted, it isn't a long list, but I DID actually cross a couple things off the (weekend's) to do list today. And I did it while suffering despite a ninety minute delay for Page's school, to boot! (Icy, icy, icy morning!)
Got the recycling out before the recycling truck came (same can't be said for trash and trash truck - thank goodness it's still winter)
made myself a salad for lunch
took the old, stupid door closer off the storm door
managed to make a cup of coffee (good stuff, not that instant crap) with coconut milk for the drive to school
remembered to take not only the stupid, old door closer with me, but my wallet, too!
gave Geoff a ride to work
mailed an important bill
somehow got to school on time
stayed awake and pretty alert through all of school (which flew by!)
remembered to stop at the hardware store for a new door closer
installed new door closer
made my bed and swept the floor
put my sweater and the rug in the wash.
That last item is important as it's not done until they are dry, and it's all too easy to forget damp clothes in the washer when the washer is in the basement (and one has a memory like mine), but it's at least in progress!
And you know what?
I'm bushed.
'Twas a good day, though. Made even better by having started the tax return yesterday with the result that a lot of the recent worry went away as the forms (and god are there so many forms!) were filled out, and it was revealed that we were advised helpfully after all. Yay.
Haven't finished the return (that's one of the tasks for tomorrow) because I was too tired and wanted to double check a couple of things with a clear mind before submitting it (which is why I'm not working on it right now). But it's pretty much done, and yay.
And to top off the day, Geoff and I sat down to watch a Nature episode on Siberian tigers, and Page joined us on the couch within five minutes. It was a good episode, too.
So, that was my hump day. And here's hoping I have the energy to do what needs to be done tomorrow. Because there is a fair amount to do... *crosses fingers*
Night!
