Make the most of my days off

Because of my back injury, all I have right now is time off, and this goal kind of doesn’t make sense anymore. I feel like I was doing okay with this, when it was still relevant anyways. Perhaps it shall resurface in some other form later on. 2 years ago

Tomorrow is the end of this current house-sitting stint. Gotta spiff up before I leave!

- laundry
- take out all garbage/recycling and drag it to the curb before leaving
- wash all sheets and towels and return to their places, so my parents don’t have to worry about washing anything
- pack up clothes, food, and other stuff
- clean up peacat’s stuff (litterbox, food bowls, etc.)
- clean up a little around the house
- take the dogs for a good long walk
- read a bunch
- write something (anything!)
- write email to landlord’s office
- unpack stuff upon return home
- make lunch for Friday
- get work stuff ready for Friday
- change out peacat’s litterbox at apartment
- clean up apartment a bit

Woah, that’s a lot of stuff. Good thing there aren’t really any errands in there, and it’s mostly just stuff to do at the house and my apartment.

Things I will NOT do:
- nap the day away
- spend too much time dicking around on the internet with no purpose
- watch stupid movies on cable (done WAY too much of that already these last few days!) 2 years ago

WEDNESDAY: (last day of house-sitting for my parents, yay!)

- clean up the house a bit
- walk the dogs (weather-permitting)
- laundry
- pack up
- get wine and make salad for evening dinner at K’s sister’s house
- work on blog stuff
- read a bunch

THURSDAY: (I’m home!)

- clean up apartment, which I’m sure has been destroyed by my roommate, ugh
- gym
- change out catbox
- taxes
- books for ash
- read a bunch
- write stuff maybe
- unpack crap from house-sitting
- cook something to bring to lunch on Friday
- go through mail
- movie with Kevin at some point2 years ago

This is becoming my weekly thing. Almost the entirety of Wednesday was taken up by me dealing with my lawsuit (which is almost ALL over…yay), so I have some catch up things to deal with.

- gym
- grocery
- bakery
- clean up and declutter room (it’s currently a disaster in there)
- clean up house a little
- writing brainstorm stuff
- read a bunch
- cook something to take for lunch on Friday
- taxes
- lunch with parents
- limit internet dicking-around time3 years ago

Since I did absolutely nothing of value today (seriously), I’m doing another list for tomorrow. I don’t know what was wrong with me today, but I couldn’t really do anything except sit around, nap, dick around on the internet and ponder.

Things To Accomplish:
- gym
- library to pick up and drop off
- bakery
- some grocery shopping (for some staple items recently run out of)
- start doing taxes
- clean up the house a little
- clean out the fridge
- take out the garbage
- wax eyebrows?
- mail stuff
- pay rent
- write something
- read something
- cook something3 years ago

Things To Accomplish:
- gym
- haircut
- taxes
- catch up on email
- ATM
- lunch with parents (!)
- minimal grocery shopping trip
- wax eyebrows
- clean up the house
- write something
- read something
- cook something
- resist the urge to nap in the afternoon!3 years ago

I had a moderately productive couple of days off this week, although I still haven’t managed to get into anything other than reading, cleaning, errands, and exercise. Yesterday was utterly productive, yet I didn’t actually leave the house until night, when I went over to K’s house for the evening.

I am vowing to make next week more interesting. A lunch, a walk, a visit to somewhere I’ve never been. I’ll take my book on the lake to read, weather permitting. Something. Anything! 3 years ago

See, I work a weird schedule (4 ten-hour days) so my days off are Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday. I feel like I spend the majority of them sitting around the house napping. I’m pretty good at keeping up with errands, the gym and cleaning and whatnot on these days, but maybe I should try out, you know, going somewhere instead of being cooped up like that. I always use the excuse that I’m going to stay home and get some writing work done today, but I rarely get any of that done before sundown anyways.

So, basically, I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF! Sundays are spent with K usually, but those weekdays sort of get wasted on…nothing. Tomorrow, I vow to get out of the house for something that isn’t an errand or the gym. At this point, I still have no idea what.

(I can’t wait until NaNoWriMo starts…at least I’ll have something to DO for a month!) 3 years ago
