Have I talked about lists yet? No! Well by all means I must then
Stop me if I have or I'm boring you, but how would I get through my day without lists?
Actually I have not been getting very successfully thru any day lately mostly because I have not been making lists. I can stand up go down stairs and then return to my desk completely empty handed having had some water, watered a plant and moved clothing out of the washer into the dryer, but not retrieved whatever obscure item it was that sent me looking in the first place. Then there is the sitting and becoming bilious with rage at Facebook and the TRUMP Outrage as if there were all the time in the world. Next thing three hours are gone - literally gone from my life! I do not have that luxury.
So lists are a good thing to remember. My lists refer to lists as many a list maker likes to say, but they work. The current one made has 23 items on it and I have been on track. 9 Items got checked off today and that took up most of two days. I am so inundated with e-mail that if I do not create reminders I will forget which to respond to. Lists literally save me time and again; acting as an external hard drive for my brain. I am nor referring to the little note pad on my phone either, which I do use. I am speaking of an honest to goodness hen scratch on a scrap of paper that gets shoved into my bag, dragged everywhere, and laid out on my desk until all items are checked off. When that happens it is very satisfying.
Today also a random picture of my daughter holding a birthday cake. Next week she will be 27!
