Work

So, now comes the time when I need to set up my days.  Will used to tell me that I was much happier when I had a schedule.  And one way of staying off the weed with roots in hell is to get myself doing things that require me to be fully awake.

So here's a list of things that need to be done and might be done. √ = accomplished

1. Use my new cordless drill to install the hooks in the kitchen to hang the aprons. √
   
2. Re-thread the weed whacker √(yes, I know I meant to do that on Saturday but, well, I let laziness get in the way) and lower the level of the grass in the back yard. √
3. Finish spreading the mulch in the front yard. √
4. Go through the house with a garbage bag looking for stuff I no longer use or that's too old (this might include leather cleaner, nail polish, pills, old notebooks).
5. Take a few more boxes to resale shops, if they'll take them OR try to get ride of stuff on Facebook Marketplace. √
6. Clean the downstairs bathroom.
   
7. Use a saw to cut the bedroom hanging poles to the right length (this needs to be done because the bedroom closet was used as a record closet and the poles for hanging clothes are gone).√
8. Draw the shape of ionic columns on either side of the front door and plan the painting of that area.
9.  Do something about all my photographs of my trip (is there an easy way to print them out?)
10. Deal with a new credit card bill I'm having trouble accessing (yippee -- another hour on hold). √
11. Contact a friend or two so I'm not just talking to myself and a ghost. √
12. Buy an ebike.
13. Buy a new giant TV. √
14. New golf clubs and figure out golf.
15. Take care of Winston -- make sure he's having an okay time until we adopt a cat in the fall. √
16. Communicate with EFM folks.
17. Figure out an exercise schedule, prayer schedule, meditation schedule.
18. Deal with the upstairs bedroom window that no longer has a screen because I locked myself out of the house and had to cut the screen to break in. √
19. Make hotel reservations in Eugene for when I have to go over for Federal Court. √
20. Keep writing every day. √
