Long and busy weekend!
Jul. 3rd, 2008 08:16 amOkay, so have four glorious days of freedom - and tons planned to get done.
Let's see - two holiday short stories and one Quick Pick to write in my attempt to catch up on all of them; finish Chapter 56 of Covenant and start 57 (I'm determined to get at least one chapter a week done, work or no work!); some computer diddling to mess with and then start copying my tapes to DVD (scared about that - quite sure it will cause my lifeline to die even though my son says it's perfectly safe); top to bottom cleaning of the downstairs bathroom and bedroom (huge trash pile coming - being totally ruthless!); mow the lawn, trim the hedge and edge the sidewalks, plus a couple other yard-type jobs; and finish up my budget for the coming year. If I have time, I'm going to start working on the roof of one of the outbuildings - but that may wait until next week ;-)
Piece of cake!
But with four solid days - I've been known to go without sleep for several days when I get motivated - and then sleep really, *really* late on Monday (like until I have to actually walk out the door for work).
But I revamped my whole goals list, stretching it out to a full year, rather than trying to get everything done by the end of December - less chance of getting overwhelmed. I just have to get off my duff and quit "thinking" about doing stuff and get them done. :D
