Upside Down House
Yup, it seems like my house has been upside down since I returned home from Mass. a week ago today. I can't believe the entire week has flown by and I don't seem to have accomplished very much. I hate not accomplishing anything. It drives me nuts. I feel unproductive. These are the things that I'd hoped to get done:
Entire house put back together, including all that china and crystal back in the hutch and curio cabinet.
My checkbook balanced
My aunt's checkbook balanced
Resuming work on my current manuscript
Catching up on snail mail
Catching up on emails
Catching up on blog reading
Fixing my wireless problem that I had in hotels while gone
Typing letter to Manager at Holiday Inn for goofing up our reservation
Watching the Netflix movie that's been sitting here since before we left on trip
Watering all the plants, flowers and trees
Purchasing new TV for family room, which broke before we left on trip
Resuming my daily morning walks with Holly
These are the things which have actually gotten done:
Caught up on snail mail
Kinda, sorta, caught up on emails
Kinda, sorta, caught up on reading blogs
After a SOLID week of being on the phone with Dell (my desktop manufacturer) HP/Compaq (my laptop manufacturer) Bellsouth (my Internet provider) Linksys (my wireless router) HOORAY....as of 7:00 last night....the laptop is back up, running, on the Internet with the wireless connection AND my mail system is working on there. I've spoken to all of the above people MORE this week than I've spoken to my husband! But.....success reigns!
Alberto took care of the watering for me (Thanks, Al) but since we've had no rain since Tuesday, I'll have to get out there this evening
And my plans for today will involve getting the house back in order. They finished the tile completely yesterday! There IS a God!
Holly and I resumed our daily walk this morning....both of us enjoyed it a LOT

That is a very upside down house, Terri. But lovely none-the-less. I'm sure now that you've been back a week you'll get cracking on those chores in a big way. It's always an adjustment when you change locations.
Congrats on getting the laptop back to running. Troubleshooting is so often frustrating!
Why is it sometimes one just cannot get things done that need doing? I have a list like this, too, and I haven't got even the slimmest of excuses...and certainly not a real reason as you have Terri having been away...
I wish you very good luck with this list, my dear.
Hang in there. I thought the stage you are now at was the worst. I was so tired of the lack of organization in my life.
Now I have to get off the computer so that I can do some laundry (otherwise my family is not going to have any clothes to wear to church tomorrow!! And that is not a statement I would like to make!)

My email is: myrtillo1984 at yahoo dot com.
I look forward to getting this info--
This is the way you wanted me to do this, right? Cause I could have answered you with the email address you had at the top of your comment...no?
Anyway....I truly look forward to hearing from you, my dear.
