Today and Tomorrow

I got up, made the coffee and had toast for breakfast
I took my embroidery supplies around to the library to be picked up by a freecycler. {http://www.freecycle.org}
I returned all my library books to the library
I went for a 40 minute walk.
I washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen.
I put together a new earring holder and reorganized my earrings
I made gingerbread, cut it up into small portions and froze it {after eating some of it, of course!}
I went for another walk in the afternoon–30 minutes this time.

Ok, I wrote all this because I have been feeling that I got nothing done at all today partly because I didn’t get to Walmarts to get some more heavy-duty socks. But I can see now why I feel physically tired. I didn’t get in 10,000 steps but got over half– around 6,000 steps and that was wearing my new somewhat heavier boots. I am not even sure that this is correct because somewhere around this house I have laid down my accurate pedometer and have no idea where it is. I don’t know the accuracy of the one I used today. I had the good intention of walking 50 steps with it on and then checking to see how accurate it was, but I just never got around to it. The pedometer I brought from England was very accurate and I know that to be true because I counted steps and checked the step-counter several times annd it was always correct give or take a step or two over or under a counted fifty steps.

To Do Tomorrow:

Buy heavy-duty socks
Read-I would like to get back into the habit of doing this during the day. Right now I am reading before I go to sleep at night and I usually fall asleep before getting much reading in.
Get the table cleared off. {mostly my stuff again}
Get hangers and get my winter coats hung up in the closet. {Right now they are decorating the backs of three chairs!}
Clean the bathroom–not just a “lick-and-a-promise” kind of cleaning but a real thorough one. The bathroom is tiny which is why, I think, it usually gets a quick once-over instead of a good cleaning.

Now, I am off to put all this into the Palm Pilot which is my new toy!

Until later…

Thanks for giving me a good idea! I should list the things I do each day too. Sometimes we are too quick to judge ourselves “lazy” when really, we’ve done quite a lot. I’m glad you got that gingerbread made (since you now own eight pans!)…. and I do envy your ability to remember to return ALL the library books. Wishing you a happy weekend! Weesprite

I meant to write a to-do list today, but only got one thing written down. See, you did more than I did. The gingerbread is in the over and will be done in about five minutes. I’m going to make a pot of green tea and nibble, sip, nibble, sip. At least half of the gingerbread will go in the freezer. I’d better make that two thirds. 🙂

Oh my…..if I ever listed the stuff I do in a day, I might NEVER be the same again! Sometimes I feel like a whirling dervish!!!!!!!!! Looking at it all would make me want to pull the covers up over my head and stay there!!!!!!!! Love ya! ~M

I have often times made lists of things to do. My wife however says I should make a list of things not to do. First item on the do not do list – DON’T LOSE THE TO DO LIST! 🙂 – – – –

We must be related somewhere down the line. Gingerbread (a favorite!) and “lick and a promise” (a favorite phrase!). I dread going to WalMart on a Saturday, especially as Christmas nears!

Goodnes gracious! You’re becomming a regular electronics junkie 😕

You did have a busy day! So you are going to start tutoring, huh? Any particular ages or subjects you want to start with?

I think my new pedometer from Walmart is more accurate than my last one. It’s consistent about my morning walks. If you walked for 70 minutes, I would say it’s inaccurate. That’s WAY low for walking that long. Does your Palm have a To-Do and a Calendar? Do you use both? I finally decided I hate having both, so I put the to-do stuff on the calendar with “no time” and it’s so easy to move that way.

Lists, yep, lists are good – to see what you’ve done and to see what you need to do.

i suppose i should have a to do list. would do me some good, i’m sure. you sure do like your new toys, don’t you? take care,

It is amazing how much we actually do in a day with out realizing at all. Even on my lazyt days when i say i have done nothing at all, if i try to list in my mind what i did i am always surpised I believe they say 10.000 steps = 3 miles which for an average person should take around an hours, so i guess you probably done your 10.000

RYN Your right we have had a lot of rain this past few weeks, but we have also had a few bright sunny day. Today here in the North West of England, it is cold and very bright Where in the UK were you born?

Patricia, I’m a slow walker (short legs) and I get one mile=2,000 steps for about every 15 minutes.

I need to do a ‘to-do’ list too — god, that sounds rather ridiculous, doesn’t it? We got our first snow here, i can’t imagine how cold it must be up where you are at.

Just found your diary and am glad to see a variety in people on here. Vermont must be beatiful this time of the year.

I hung up 3 coats yesterday and I have one back out. But I do have 5 bags of clothes to get rid of.
