13 Things I’m doing Today

Thirteen Things I’m doing Today ********************************************************** 13 Things I’m doing TodayGot back from my trip later than I wanted last night, thanks to a teenage son that takes way too long in the bathroom and a wreck on the Interstate. I ended up crawling into bed without even checking my email or snail mail, which meant I had many fun surprises waiting for me today when I woke up. At least I woke up rested! Or you could even say – At least I woke up!But general gratitude for life and sleep aside, here are first 13 things I need to get done today -

1. – Put chemicals in the pool. Hubby forgot That’s ok – I did this as soon as I woke up, so it’s all cleared up already.
2. – Bring the garbage cans around from the street. At least he did remember to take the garbage out this time while I was gone!
3. – Weed through the inbox. Took it from 175 to 43 emails, and it only took an hour.
4. – Return business calls. Several graphics customers didn’t get the message I was going to be working from the road this week. Had to calm a few ruffled feathers, but it’s all good now.
5. – Empty the rental car.
6. – Water the garden. Found 6 more tomatoes on the vines while I was doing it – there will be freshness at lunch! And dinner, and probably lunch tomorrow too.
That’s what I’ve gotten through so far. Here’s some of what’s left :
7. – Return the rental car. Hope someone there can bring me back home – because Enterprise will get you there!
8. – Make a bank deposit.
9. – Catch up laundry. Who gave the maid this decade off anyway?
10. – Grocery shopping. See above note, and wish for a maid as well.
11. – Check the numbers on the lotto ticket I bought in Georgia. $91 million! Wonder what day they pull numbers?
12. – Wish it were next week already. My baby turns 5 a week from today! Big sis and her 6 kids are coming into town for the July 4th / birthday party; can’t wait to see them.
13. – Write! I need at least 1000 words a day for the next week, since I know I won’t get much done with family here next week.

There’s a lot of actual work piled up on my desk as well that I’m going to have to get through, but that’s not even worth talking about. Writing about. Either or both.
