It's on the List, Man

I have so much to do and it seems like every time I turn around there's another thing to do, so I've begun saying "It's on the list, man."  It's not a written-down list.  It's an in-my-head list, but this is it...

- finish potting the tree seeds
- clean out the cedar bed
- clean out the shade bed
- plant the wildflower and the marigold seeds I bought for the cedar bed
- order plants to put into the shade bed because I think everything nice in there has died
- finish cutting dead limbs off the cedars by the road
- finish replanting the irises bulbs that the critters had moved over the winter
- vacuum the hard floors
- wash the hard floors
- dust
- wash windows
- clean the kitchen
- clean my bathroom
- clean the smoking porch / sunroom
- redo the irises by the big rock (which may have to wait until after the blooming season)
- take furniture polish to the kitchen cabinets
- tidy up the spare room
- clean the fridge
- create a cover for my new book (which includes setting up stuff for a pic and taking said pic)
- hit the thrift store to find something to use for the above pic
- finish editing my new book
- format my new book
- create next week's sale
- sort my books to decide what stays and what goes so I have room for my unshelved new books
- tidy up the storage closet
- shred old paperwork I've tidied out of the storage
- create a donate box of everything I've picked to go
- go to a thrift store and donate the stuff (which should coincide with going to find pic stuff, but probably won't)
- hammer in all the loose nails on the deck
- work on getting Wrenegade out of the garage
- clean bird poop off the garage floor
- clip the cats' claws

There is a longer list Hubs and I have together, by the way.  Stuff that requires money as well as time.  That one includes things like repairing the deck, fixing the roof, and putting in a wood stove.  One day, I'd like to remodel the kitchen by turning the wall between the kitchen and the living room into a pony wall, so I can get some natural light into the kitchen, but that is so far down any list that I doubt it'll ever happen.  Maybe if I win the lottery... ROFL

Since I started typing this out, I added about a half-dozen things I need to do that I had forgotten.  You see what I mean about 'things keep getting added'.  Just thinking about it all makes me tired.  I need a nap.  Too bad, naps aren't on the list.  ;o)

What's on your list to get done today?

(I might come back here and put a line through stuff as it gets done, but then again, I might not because seeing stuff NOT getting checked off over time will depress the hell out of me.)

  1. Dang! Now I'm exhausted and just want to go back to bed. The list is never ending. Good luck with yours. I have 3 things on mine:
    1. Get of X
    2. Write new words
    3. Read the words of a friend
    4. (Okay, I lied) Find out if I can watch the OSU Equestrian team in the regional finals on ESPN+.

    Good luck with the chores. And make sure you read my reply to you on my blog. 😉 Then let me know!
