Where to begin? This is a question I am asking myself about starting this blog, yes, but it’s also a question I’m asking myself about my life right now. I’m less than a month out from a new move, summer vacation is on the horizon, and I’ve just managed to binge the excellent life-planning book Best Laid Plans. I have SO MUCH I want to get done, and I want it done yesterday. And so the question: where to begin?
With a list, I guess.
It always starts with a list, anyway. Here’s what I want to get done today:
Pack up my office bookshelf & unnecessary desk stuffFigure out what I’m gonna do with the kids this summer (NBD)- Balance YNAB (we were just out of town the past 4 days, so that’s going to be *a job*)
Finish walking 10k steps (6,377 down)Feed my sourdough starterMake a batch of kefirDrink an EAA + creatine shake, since I finished a workout just a bit ago- Like, finish setting up this website or something, IDK.
- Get to the root cause of this silly little bug that I’ve gone and assigned myself at work.
- Finish going through April and May pics, deleting the unnecessary stuff, and upload April to Dropbox, plus create an April Chatbook.
Okay, so. It’s 2:38 pm, and it’s a lot. One thing at a time, is the best advice I can offer myself. Luckily Jarrod’s parents, who left just this morning after spending 2 weeks living in very close quarters with us here in New York, left behind a meal of Italian sausage with sausage and peppers already cooked and ready for dinner, so that’s one thing that’s off my plate for tonight. (HAH. Get it? Off my plate? Wow I’m clever.)
I’ll outline my goals for this lil personal web hidey-hole of mine tomorrow, but a little preview is: I’d like to write just a little bit on here every day about how life is going. I miss blogging, man, and we’ve got a heck of a life change ahead of us. I want to remember it all.
So here’s a bit more about what’s going on today: Ambrose has cooking club today. I always enjoy seeing (and eating!) whatever he brings back. Theda is at the zoo, and the class parents are sending along a whole bunch of really cute pictures of everyone. They seem to all be having a heck of a time. Liesl…well, we’ll see how she is today. She woke up screaming full-blast twice last night because her legs hurt, but she didn’t want to take medicine because she hates taking medicine. This kid.
Anyway, I’m out for a little walk to chip away at my steps. Then I’m going to work at this bug for another half hour before I get to work with the boxes.
