My to do list ended up with about 54 items on it. They ranged from quick things (things that might take less than 5 minutes) to longer things (I think the longest may have been an hour or so).
After a few days of working on them (and continually adding to the original list), I finished 45 of the items on my list! A few of the items not finished were some craft projects to work on, so I’m not as broken up about not getting those done. One of the things I didn’t get done (that was silly to not have gotten done) was making dentist appointments. That could have been quick, but I just didn’t do it.
I’m really pleased with the amount of things I got done! On Tuesday, I didn’t turn on the computer at all until I had been up for about seven hours! Wow! And, then on Wednesday, I didn’t turn on the computer for just over two hours. Now, mind you, on Wednesday, our power was out for the first two hours we were up. Ha! But, that ended up being a nice blessing. It gave me extra time to *have* to keep busy and after days of sweltering heat, it was actually a BEAUTIFUL day out. We ended up having all the windows and doors open all day long (until bedtime!). What a blessing! I simply can’t imagine how horrible the power outage would have been on some of these almost 100 degree days!
Oh, and, of course, I also did things like make meals and such, that weren’t on my to do list. Although, I *did* put it on my list when I spent all of the day Thursday (on and off) making a big homemade meal (roast with potatoes & carrots, homemade bread, brownies from scratch, and a salad) for a family that I know who are adopting a new baby (she is already with them) and then just found out in May that their preschool-aged son has cancer.
I didn’t hear from anyone that they wrote up anything for their blogs on this challenge, but that’s okay. I’m just happy that I got so much done. I think I may need to work on doing this kind of thing a bit more often!
