I'm doing 37 things
1. Client is convinced not to go back home. She had a fall last September and was laying in her house for three days before her neighbor noticed her mail piling up and called the police. She’s been in assisted living and was convinced she was going home in the spring. Now she feels she would be too lonely if she went home:)
2. The storm wasn’t as bad as predicted. It arrived just as I was picking the kids up from school.
3. I fell asleep with Claire at 8:30 and stayed asleep all night. I’m still tired. What is going on with my energy?

How I did it
It made me
thrilled 
How I did it: When I got married, I had about $20,000 in credit card debt. It accumulated from the 10 months I had a house payment and rent to pay. It also accumulated from living beyond my means when I first moved to the big city. The group I hung out with went to a lot of movies, concerts, and games.I took out the Home Equity Line of Credit after our marriage. I paid at minimum $400/month towards it. Some months I paid $… Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: It was easier when I could do it at work:0 I just log in every day for my quick entry. The people that I've met through this goal are incredible and supportive. I can't believe they want 150 words for this. Jeez. How picky. I'm feeling like I'm writing a report for school. Why do they need 150 words. I'm just typing to fill in the requirement.

How I did it: The menu was the hardest part. It kept changing on me. I also had to work that morning, so Mom had to start the turkey and Barry did the potatoes. It turned out really well, though. Read how I did it…

1. My bad headache went away after lunch and I snuck home for a 30 minute nap before our evening work event.
2. The apartment belonging to the Miss H (whose estate I’m settling) is finally empty. I waited all day Thursday for the charity truck to show up to pick up the entire contents of her apartment. I never showed. I paid a moving company to take everything to St. Vincent DePaul yesterday. I hope a lot of people are blessed by her thoughtfulness.
3. I sat next to a tablemate at dinner that completely monopolized the conversation (about how great he was) and reminded me of Dale Carnegie. I can assure you, none of us were in a hurry to make plans to spend more time with this man!
1. Slept in (well, after turning the fan on to drown out the squeals and shouts from the kids and Barry who were already up)
2. Fun kids party with Andrew.
3. Getting the sprinklers going, weeding, and setting up the patio furniture. The kids put on their swimsuits and ran through the sprinklers.
