The List

October 7, 2009 was a very eventful day. I accomplished quite a bit and I am blaming the lateness of this follow-up on the exhaustion induced coma I fell into on the 8th.

THE REPORT

-Go running
Check. (That's all I'm saying about that. How far and long it took me is not important.)
-Clean the house
*Do dishes
Check.
*Laundry
Two loads.
*Clean room
The enormity of this task was almost overwhelming. However, it is at least organized chaos now.
*Tidy up the living room
Check. The whole house (minus my room...and Jenn's...not even going to go there!) is spotless. I did a lot more than just tidy the living room, which was the redeeming factor for my room. ;)
-Browbeat my landlord into giving me my dang deposit back
One menacing glare and he fell like a house of cards. Check.
-Organize bookshelf and photos
So organized Danny from Full House would approve.
-Read something inspiring
Finished Tolstoy's War and Peace. Ok, not really, but I did read a couple conference talks, which is infinitely better anyway.
-Check Facebook (Hey, I had to list something I know I will accomplish)
Check. Check. Check.
-Write a follow-up post to this one
Done, baby! I know you were all on the edge of your seats waiting.
-Save the world
I'm halfway there now. Until I can get that Obama character out of the way, things will be considerably rough. However, I see no reason why I won't be able to finish this task.

I am actually quite impressed with how much I got done. Apparently I need to let the whole world know what I am supposed to be getting done more often. Good motivation. Thanks for helping me be productive.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have a world to save.

Tomorrow

So, Melissa brought to my attention the fact that it has been a very long time since I have posted anything. She also so kindly provided me with a topic to write about. Her first suggestion was to write about my day today. However, I quickly discarded the idea since accompanying my friend to the chiropractor and getting the oil in my truck changed hardly seemed like something I could make even remotely interesting, despite my prowess in prose. ;)

We mutually agreed that I could write about tomorrow. Yes, I know that seems rather tricky, seeing as how it hasn't happened yet. However, my take on the subject goes as follows: I will write a to-do list of what will be accomplished tomorrow...and then report on how I did. While not particularly enthralling, it will provide much needed motivation to accomplish said items.

Without further ado, my list goes like this:
-Go running
-Clean the house
*Do dishes
*Laundry
*Clean room
*Tidy up the living room
-Browbeat my landlord into giving me my dang deposit back
-Organize bookshelf and photos
-Read something inspiring
-Check Facebook (Hey, I had to list something I know I will accomplish)
-Write a follow-up post to this one
-Save the world

And now, I shall go to bed. I have a big day coming up, I'll need all the energy I can get.
Wish me luck!
