Take care of Little Picky Niggling Things as they surface; not let them accumulate to where I'm spending more energy feeling guilty about them than just DOING them. The prize for taking action, I expect, will be: sense of COMPETENCE in this world!

has been dispatched.

Few more details to go, but have done all I have info to do now. Oh, I feel very responsib;le. And how nice not to see this item on my To-Do lost for the first time in – yikes, can it be ten days?

And it didn’t even take that long, for all that angst.

As I’ve said here, it’s been an insane period, but having finished my MAJOR lollygag project (and having the THRILL of moving it to “I’ve Done This”) it is time to go like gangbusters on this one.

See goal # 34 for where I’m starting.

I managed to stay reasonably come throughout. However, all kind of LPNTs have been accumulating.

My goal is to get reasonably caught up in the next 10 days, so that when I move BACK to my home (I rent it out for mucho dinero a few weeks each summer, for which I endure no end of hassles but a) get to have some very nice people there, b) gain income, and c) know for sure that at least ONCE a year it gets absolutely, top-to-bottom cleaned)... anyway, when I move back, I will move back with a lot of this knocked out… a lot of the boxes of paper I didn’t get to go through before decamping I will go through, answer emails, etc.

Well, that’s why they call them “goals,” right? Targets to strive for? So – let’s see…

so why do I feel like it’s a gorgon? Lop one head off and a thousand more grow?

Now now, mustn’t be so negative dear.

refilled prescription ( have been w/o 5 days! Yikes, not good)

got my poor old glasses that I say on taken to the opt and fixed (after staggerinhg around bat-blind nightly and in am pre and post contact lenses).

emptied kitchen for carpenters to come and work tomorrow

started lining up team / place / details for DK’s July surgery (which takes placeduring time I rent my own home out!)

picked up office some

called PD about CBG project

planned tomorrow

Is there a relationship between the words “compete” and “competence”?

Did the clothes shopping for my 91-year-old mother’s spring-summer wardrobe… did a mock catalogue with it describing every item in fashion-mag terms… Got it all boxed up (four separate “collections” coordinated by color, corresponding to catalog, each in sep box) AND got it sent off.

All that, and books to library too.

I may not be the cat’s meow, but I’m pretty durned close.

no lunch.

So there.

Some time later that same day…

She returns to say… did two of ‘em before lunch as planned, and then one, which I suspected would be lengthy, afterwards.

But
they’re
done!

Three little cross-offs off my list.

• call CG re kittens
• email Deb re K’s #
• e Gary re hike up Putney Mtn.tomrrow
• refill bird feeders
• help DK with organzational stuff as per his request
• investigate hotels for trip next Wednesday (done, but still have to DECIDE and BOOK… travel is always amazingly time-consuming in the planning, I find)
• resend e to M. Dill with an urgent red !

Pas mal… But I still have to (or want to) :

(notes added later That Same Day in bold)

• take compost out (tomorrow, see stock, below)
• work-out before it gets much later plus get out into the daylight check
• make stock (hmm… if I make stock and THEN take compost out; that makes more sense, because then the cooked-out stock trimmings, of which there are always many, can go into the compost. Oh-KAY!)going NOW to start stock.
• Call CZ (ohhhh it is oh so easy to put off calling one’s mother, and now it is too late!)
• email Bett & G check
• Books to the Green Leaf family check
• check to Patti not going to do until I have gone through receipts then will send a whole bundle… did put check with receipts as a first step.
• deal with worm med and anti-flea stuff for kitties
• email Ray M re K and Alice.

Hmmmm… quite a bit to go. But still within the realm of doable possibility by day’s end if I GET ON IT (which means getting OFF 43T).

GET ENERGIZED, FF! (hence image). Pzzzzzzzt!

To be continued.

the inner pressure just built up to where it felt better doing ‘em than NOT doing ‘em. As always I am astonished at how quickly actually knocking out the calls, emails, appts, etc, goes, as compared to the amount of energy obsessing about it…

As Puck said, “What fools these mortals be.”

Though the accumulation remains mighty, I did knock out five that have been on my list and mind all last week (while I was humping on the lollygag project referred to elsewhere).

Feel pretty good.

It’s a start.

Begone, oh odious Piddling Things! WHOOSH!I command thee! Vanish!
