October

I really did not have a catchy title for today's post as I do not have anything really catchy to say. It has been a good break so far. I have not gotten anything done minus moving some paper around and the same things I would have done if it were any other weekend. We still have not cleaned out the garage and I doubt we will get any of it done tomorrow. I am not sure we will ever get it done. I do know that we need to get it done if we plan on staying here forever. I think that we decided that moving is really not for us. We like stability and we like our home. I think we both have had more moving as adults than we ever did as children and we really do not like it. I know where we go to church or where we shop may change over time but I think we have found our forever home. I am content with that decision and I am looking forward to traveling.


Until we meet again,

Making Time

I have come to the conclusion that I have the worst time management skills of any person that I know. I have gone so far as to rewrite a famous line to fit my lack of ability to plan. "The best laid plans of mice and Michele . . ." Some times I do not even try to plan and even that can go awry. I hope and pray everyday that this will be the day I get things done but alas that is not the case. I may have to put myself on a hourly planner rather than a daily or weekly planner. Of course, I always have time for the Internet and things that do not move me forward in my career or life in general. I think I would be better off without ten thousand planners but I have a google calendar and my iCal application on my mac, I even have a "to do" list on my notability application. It all seems like a great idea at the time but then nothing gets done. It is a real struggle for me. I have watched videos and subscribed to services to help. I am beginning to think that all the time I spent researching time management was an ill advised use of time. Until I can say, "TODAY IS THE DAY!" I do not think anything will change. I am currently on Fall break hoping to get my office, library, and garage cleaned up but I am not sure how to start or how to manage the project once we (my husband and I)  get started.

Anyway, enough about my struggle to be an adult. There are some good things that we are doing. We have not gone out to eat since October 1st. We did go out for the husband's birthday but we do not count that because it is a special occasion. Also, I am down nineteen pounds since January of last year without any super changes to my lifestyle but I will talk about that on thecookiestoppedworking.blogspot.com. It is one of the many things I want to make time for in the future.

Until we find time to meet again.
