Bubbling Over...

I know I said I wasn’t going to write until Monday, but my brain is bubbling over and I need to dump it. Sure I could just type things up, print them out, and tuck them away somewhere, but instead I’m going to post them here. Oh geez, I know. Feel free to disregard.

I want KFC for dinner, but I know darn well I’m not going to waste time stopping on the way home to get it.

Casey is going to a pre-season football game tonight with friends and I’ll have the condo to myself. I plan to clean as much as I can stand and then spend time nesting, cozyfying, journaling, and whatever else.

The decluttering bug has been biting me lately, so I see some liquidation in my guest closet’s future, not to mention under the master bath sink and possibly at my desk at work.

I just finished a book called Refuse to Choose and it’s got me inspired to organize my projects more, particularly the part about Avocation Stations. Since I don’t have a lot of time to work in the evenings, after commuting and making dinner and cleaning, I think it’d be beneficial for me to have something like an Avocation Station, which puts all the supplies for a particular project together so you can just pull it out and get started instead of having to gather and set things up every time. I’ve already got this for some things, but I think I could go even further with it.

One of the things I’ve been thinking about is preparing meals on Sunday afternoons for the rest of the week. Not necessarily completing the meal from start to finish, but at least getting everything set up so it’s quick and easy to put together when I get home after work during the week. It’s kind of a spin off of making a month of meals in one day preparation.

I also think I need to set goals for some of my projects. That way I can see in front of me the timeframe I have to get it done. With a deadline, I’ll either procrastinate until the last minute or I’ll work on things gradually because I know how much time I have for each project. Either way, hopefully I'll be getting things done.

After a vacation, I always feel anxious to “get back on track.” It’s no different this week. Hopefully tonight I can get things done that will allow me to relax over the weekend. Then Monday things will kick into high gear as I focus on… well, on it all.

Hmm, I suppose that's all... besides that this work day is dragging by. It's awful and I cannot wait for 4:30 to get here so I can go home and live my life!
