Listing

Today, I checked off nine items on my day off to-do list. And every single one of them was on the list before I checked it off! (I have a tendency, particularly if I haven't checked off quite as many items as I'd like to, but feel like I've been sidetracked by equally necessary and productive tasks, to go ahead and add the latter and then check them off retroactively.)

The to-do tasks themselves weren't particularly interesting. But I do think it's revealing of my current life that on my day off, my list included not only "Do dishes," but "Recycle boxes [that have been blanketing my living room floor since I got back from Chicago]" and "Unpack big suitcase" (again, on the floor for the past three weeks).

Tomorrow I teach only two classes, and then I have Wednesday off, so maybe I'll be able to get to the other things on the list, like "Sweep/mop kitchen" and "Clean bathroom." Woo!
