1) clean out bathroom closet. throw shit away/organize it on all the handy-dandy shelves in said closet. (currently, it’s just thrown in there)

2) ongoing: laundry, laundry, laundry

3) clean out utlity closet. (may have to wait for hubby to do this as there are very heavy things in there. however, i may be waiting forever for that to happen…)

4) clean out built-ins in living room currently housing records and a whole lot of other junk.

5) clean out upstairs bathroom closet. actually use the storage space! see above.

6) unpack those boxes yet unpacked from when we moved a year ago. (yimes)

7) light up!

—somewhere in there hubby will come home from work for lunch, so i will fix him lunch. like in the 1950s. domestic godess status here I come!

I know you’re sposed to finish them, but I don’t think I have ever done it. Until tonight! DONE.

6:45-7:30 make breakfast / eat breakfast / work on my secret goal

7:30-8:00 walk with h

8:30-8:45 breakfast dishes

8:45-9:10 shower/dry/dress

9:10-9:30 revisit previous work on secret goal and evalutae if necessary / fuck around on the internet

9:30 to work!

• I did not get up first thing when my alarm went off
• I did, however, shower first thing after the walk, rather than dilly-dallying
• I also got dressed first thing rather than lounging around in my robe for 20 minutes
• I also made breakfast and ate it first thing so I know I’ll have something in my belly

Also need to do this a.m. before work:
