What did you accomplish today?

[JustJo]

I'm one of those people who likes to get things done...I work from home, and multi-task all day.

I often stress myself out when I look at how many things remain on my various "to do" lists...so one of the things I do to make myself feel better sometimes is to make another list...a list of the things I have accomplished each day.

Some items are big, some are small...and some days the list is longer than others. Let's face it, some days just getting out of bed is an accomplishment.

Here's a place for you to do the same...and give yourself a pat on the back for all the things you did manage to get done.

I'll start...today I accomplished:

• made coffee for me and tea for the Rooster
• made breakfast (scrambled eggs and toasted bagel) for both of us
• packed Rooster's lunch
• took Rooster to school
• set the tide clock I got Scoote for our anniversary
• packed her lunch and delivered it to her at work
• went to Ace Hardware - returned the incorrect parts and got the right one to repair the broken sprinkler pipe
• restocked TP in both bathrooms
• made lunch (turkey, lettuce and tomato on wheat....yummy)
• took Advil for my sore shoulder
• cleaned the cat box
• did laundry all day...4 loads washed and dried, 5 loads folded, hung and put away (there was one left in the dryer when I started...oops)
• brought recycle bins and trash can up from the curb
• unpacked Rooster's suitcase from his trip to NY
• installed a new sprinkler head....yippee!
• gave the lawn a good drink, then reset the sprinkler system's automatic schedule
• sprayed RoundUp on the weeds in the gravel part of the driveway
• picked up Rooster from school
• made dinner
• packed up the leftovers and put in fridge
• loaded and started the dishwasher
• wrote a letter I've needed to write, copied some paperwork to go with it
• and in between all of that I did my regular job....posted on the Planet...cuddled kittys, etc.

We got rid of that big ass boat, that has been in the back yard for years. WOOOHOOOO!

Restocked the store where I sell soap,.

Grocery store accomplished!

Today's workout done!

[bright_arrow]

I've cleared my work e-mail of 94 messages (excluding the ones that came in while I was clearing out the pre-existing, so close to 140 total) in 5 days. Not a small feat considering they include making payments, sending confirmations, and often charging 20+ people for one e-mail.

Now my task is to clear out my 100 tickets assigned to me in our actual ticket queue.

Finished up the cleaning I started yesterday.

Registered for Fall classes.

Did some research on funding sources.

Did some more research on getting a new laptop.

[C0LLETTE]

I organized my files. There is no more boring, less rewarding activity on this Earth.

Today I started out with my normal workout and was finally able to extend my jog by 1 minute. Woo! Maybe I am out of that rut. After that I went to my first therapy session and was able to keep it together for the most part. lol! I am terrified of therapy so for me this is a win! I had a long talk with a friend of mine. I have been looking forward to picking her brain for a while! Lastly I cooked dinner - a new recipe - with only a little help. It was only a little burnt! lol!

All in all not a bad day.

Honey...you're dating a truck?



Wow...what a productive bunch we were yesterday!
Kudos to all of us!

[bright_arrow]

Not too much!

Tomorrow is Costco, Verizon and more unpacking now that I have hella hangers.

[StillettoDoll]

Sunday I finished a book i've been reading .
worked out , did a total 19 miles on the treadmill for the week.
finished a hat I've been making , and started a new one.

[JustJo]

The weekend was a mix of errands and relaxing...so that was a nice change.

Saturday we bailed on the kids, went out to breakfast and to the beach for a walk and shell-hunting. No outstanding finds, but we've started to pick up the shells we usually leave behind that are cool, but broken (yes...we're shell snobs ). The broken ones are for our patio project...to press into the concrete and set the vibe for our beach theme.

Yesterday we did a little shopping at Lowe's to work a few little projects forward...weatherstripping, etc., and I found the blinds I want to get for Rooster's room but have to measure a bit differently and then go back and order.

I also accomplished signing up for unlimited NetFlix movies through the Rooster's PS3....a month free trial, then 7.99 a month for all we care to watch. I envision lots of evenings curled up on the couch with popcorn.

• Went to work
• Cut my hair
• Showered
• & now going out for a run in my new running shoes

[Gemme]

Got up, showered, ate, dressed, commuted to work.

Worked-swept out spaces, rented a space, did my grounds checks, checked the mail, processed the mail, took payments in, logged the truck back in and prepped it to go out again in the morning, rented the truck out, vacated a customer, did some filing, chatted with a manager at another store who is back at work after being sick for a couple of days, had lunch, avoided the phone and people knocking on my door while I ate lunch, transfered a customer to a larger space, more paperwork, sent some emails, talked to the company that fixed our cameras about some issues and sent off an email to my area manager about it, played on the golf cart some (as in just for fun, not because I need to get to the back of the property), called a guy about a potential apartment for Ebon and I, called some customers and prospects, talked with a couple of others in the company about an upcoming meeting, printed out some forms, cleaned out my inbox, tidied up the office, took the cart for the last property check of the day, locked up the cart and plugged it in to charge, one last quick looksee to make sure the office looked fine, locked the doors, counted my monies, did my end of the day processing, got my things together, locked up (with me on the outside this time) and commuted home.

While on the commute home, I called a number on a sign at an intersection to find out about a house. Venta in Spanish means sale, not rent, as I'd hoped.

Got home, checked the mail, grabbed some of the dinner Ebon made, listened to a little youtube and am here now and thinking about grabbing something for dessert. In a minute, I'll go back into the kitchen and clean it up and determine if I'm serious about dessert or not.

Somewhere around 11pm, I'll go to bed. I may or may not indulge in some hulu before then.

A day long Board retreat... I am pooped...

Glass of wine and my hunny is all I need ... and mah pooch!

[JustJo]

Today wasn't a work day for me...so it was up at 8:30, make Rooster some tea and peanut butter toast for both of us...jumped in the shower, dressed, took him to Odyssey of the Mind workshop...talked to my mother while he was in workshop and read a book for a bit.

Once he was done, took him home, heated up some leftovers for lunch, ran off about 100 flyers (we're going to leaflet the whole neighborhood), drove down to the Humane Society to have a look for Banshee (no luck), stopped at the grocery store on the way home. Boys hauled bags out of the trunk while I put groceries away.

Relaxed for a little bit....then back up to make dinner, load and run the dishwasher, clean the kitty box, give Scoote a smooch as she and the Prince headed out to a movie.

Phone rings...neighbor thinks they have Banshee cornered. We jump in cars, race down there....false alarm...drove back home, then kicked back on the couch to watch Primeval with the Rooster.

In a little bit it'll be time to kiss my kiddo, brush the dogs teeth (seriously) and get myself headed for bed.

I am tired just from reading this.
