Busy Doing Something Close to Nothing

I made the following list at work of things to do when I got home tonight. It’s quite ambitious and some of the items are more reminders of things I have to do later than things I actually wanted to complete. I made the list even knowing that I had a friend coming over for dinner and that I would lose an hour to daylight savings time if I changed my clocks before I went to bed. This is what drives me crazy – I plan/try/intend/hope to accomplish way more than is actually feasible. The items with checks show the things I accomplished.

• a Walk dog
• Deal with mail
• Make plan for week (contact MPC, JC, SB, ML)
• Clean house
• a Laundry
• Move stuff to garage
• Budget
• Vision board
• Gym
• Food (including dehydrating multiple types of foods, making cheese sauce, hummus and guacamole)
• a Update blog (this subject, driving rant, friendship)
• Thesis
• Gym
• Side job research

My friend actually arrived to my home just before I got there – she let herself in and took the dog out, which was nice, but which also meant no down time for me. Reminder: this is why I like living alone – transition time, alone time, quiet time. Why would I want to give that up? So anyway, you’ll note on the list is a suggestion to blog about “busy getting nothing done” – this is what I mean, so I guess I can check that off the list.
