Well, it's Monday again, and time for my weekly accounting. I can, of course, list only some of the things I got done last week, so I had to be selective. Rest assured, however, that "found cure for cancer" would have made the list, had I done so. What follows, then, are largely things that I have either been putting off for some time, or that I would have put off in a not-so-distant past.
- Completed Week 3 of Couch Potato to 5K training
- Finished Clea Simon's Fatherless Daughters; J. A. Jance's Lying in Wait;
- Walked my grateful dog daily (except for Friday, which got away from us)
- Took my blood pressure daily
- Got it together to send Haiti relief contribution
- Mailed last Christmas gift
- (Mostly) stuck to meal plan for week
- Got 5 floors cleaned, with family's help (though my "grateful dog" just barfed on two of them while I was writing this!)
- Finally signed up for poetry marathon late enough to be 9th on waiting list
- Straightened out checking account (no small feat, with mountains of debit-generated receipts clogging my purse, not to mention way too many intra-family transfers)
- Laundered and changed sheets
- Avoided library fines, while juggling dozens of checked out items and several holds
- Attended two meetings, set up several more, went to one on the wrong day
- Heard sermon on "Should Unitarian Universalists Pray?"
- Succeeded in getting two-year-old to nap
- Returned flawed and unneeded items to stores for refunds
- Off-loaded carful of stuff to Goodwill
- Talked boss into not doing something the hard way
- Helped teenager with algebra
- Published 5 blog posts
Not so much, perhaps, but as the post title asserts, "not nothing." Enough to merit, I believe, the small charge of accomplishment that is cutting through the teenager-kept-me-awake-til-all-hours-again haze this morning. Enough to keep me going.
