Days like today reinforce nicely my belief that I can can sleep in and still have a productive day. I was up until around 3:30 AM last night, revisiting the glory that is “Pyschonauts,” and so this morning decided that I didn’t need to get out of bed until around 1 PM. And it was great. When I did get up and start moving around, I swung into action like a summer blockbuster hero:
- Caught up with some emails
- Did my 30 minutes step aerobics
- Played through another level of “Bikini Samurai Squad” during that 30 minutes (the game is a good one for that, because it really doesn’t require a lot of concentration)
- Got my car’s oil changed (by the way, I have 8,500 miles on my 3-year old Escape; this is so odd for someone who used to put on close to 20,000 miles a year)
- Got a much-needed haircut; the poof is gone… for now
- Picked up groceries
- Walked over to CostCo for a few items
- Dropped off my rent check in the mail
- Finished up the laundry
- Sorted through the heap of papers in my bedroom
And it’s still pretty early. This will be spiffy, as it means that now is a good time to go ahead and start working more on the computer, but I won’t feel like I should have been outside.
Incidentally, I think the two main reasons why everything seemed to click today was because with football season over, I have much more time on the weekends, and since I had been waiting to take care of a few things, I had a nice string of things to do in all one trip. Efficient, my friends!
More is on the plate for tonight:
- Make pasta for dinner
- Wash dishes
- Chop veggies for the upcoming week
- Wash off grapes and get them in a snack-ready bowl
- Play some more Pyschonauts
- Reply to some more emails
- And so much more!!!
Also, while at the Oil Change spot, I started resorting the tasks I have listed in my Blackberry. Doing so has made it much easier for me to scroll through and see what it is that i want to tackle, still. I have to admit, doing this now has shown just how many other projects I want to knock off. I should be able to do some work on one or two of them tonight, although I suspect that actually wrapping one up may be a bit too much.
As long as I maintain some momentum, though, heck, I’ll call it a success.
