Conquering the To-Do list


I will scratch off every item of my continuously growing to-do list if it kills me. And it just might.

However, today, after getting the oil changed in my car, I felt like I was not really on top of things, but that things had become a bit more manageable. Then again, walking 2 miles to the post office to kill time before the car was done generally helps with that. At this point, I can pretty much divide my list into must do and will do ideally/eventually. Like backblog and make a pie. I have also reconciled myself to the fact that I will NOT be able to see every show I have been meaning to in the next few days because it is not physically possible.


And last night's inclement weather really forced me to slow down. There was tree damage everywhere, blocking streets. With no electricity and flooded streets and trees flying through the air, I could do nothing but eat a yummy dinner, sit around and chill. It was actually really nice. Got to bed at a decent hour, after laying out my shoes to dry.

Today, as I was walking through my errands before the storm broke (again/as usual), I passed a couple of big orientation groups of DePaul kids. You can tell by the large group, the matching equipment and general shuffle. It reminded me of going to the Caf in pack-formation, and the fact that my brother is moving into my old dorm at William and Mary today. Still no A/C. He's one floor above me, and his friends are in all my friends' old rooms! Tribe Pride!

(please don't ask me how the cow got up there.)

That cow is one block from my apartment, but I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out to me a few days ago. I wonder how long its been there, and if the grazing is good.
