X is a difficult letter to cover.
That's why it's for x'ing things off the list. While the concept is
not a new one for me it is one that I am hopefully getting better at
performing. There are a dozen or more things that I must get done
each day and I am getting better at getting them done in a timely
manner without distractions that had previously come from grown
people.
The baby is in school everyday unless
it is a weekend, holiday or summer vacation and when she gets home it
is just the two of us. There is time for her to play, finish her
homework, eat dinner and get ready for bed all in a reasonable amount
of time.
What do I do during the day? Well, at
the moment I am still in the process of unpacking. (I don't have
dressers or a desk yet.) I alternate between the house cleaning and
enjoying a television show or two while I write, budget and arrange
the furniture that we do have. In the process I find more things that
I need to put on the list of items to get.
Among the thigns that we need are:
Laundry sorter
Desk (maybe)
bathroom shelves
dresser
closet organizer
Well, that not all of the things that
we might need but I'm trying to make sure that everything is
organized in our tiny apartment and that when we do move out we only
need one moving van to haul everything. The explore I bought has a
trailer hitch so maybe when the time comes I can rent a small trailer
and pull it behind it, provided that I can find one that I can see
over and park.
There are a number of things that I can
do each day to find calmness. Reading before bed is one of the things
that I am adding to the list of things to do. I am a bit behind on my
reading, and I have to catch up. I have several books that I managed
to get part of the way through and get distracted; I am planning to
correct that and mark each of them off of the list as well.
