What Are You Doing Today?

I have a list to do, so my CBA worksheet will have to wait

I had in mind working on a Decision-Making Worksheet/Cost-Benefit Analysis this morning.

My goal is to map out a plan for the coming year. My attitude towards events as they unfold is what I can control. So I am trying out different ideas to see what makes the most sense. However, I am not seeing this morning as a time to work on this.

Instead, I am lost in my list of To-Do’s:

  • Call about the Rotor Tiler, is it ready?
  • Clean out the cab of my truck
  • Have an alignment done on my front-end. Crawling under the truck to change the oil this past weekend, I noticed the left front tire is scalping a little.
  • Now that our taxes are with the accountant, I need to clear off my desk.
  • There are olive size peaches on my two peach trees, I need to cover them so that the squirrels do not carry off all of the peaches as they get a little larger.
  • I want to feed the azalea/s and dogwood trees.
  • I need to empty the recycling container in the kitchen.
  • The compost spinner is full of last winters deposits. I want to empty that so I can start adding new, plus putting it around my fruit trees and adding it to the flower beds helps the soil.
  • There is a wedding coming up and the status of it is still a question mark.
  • There is a baby shower coming up and the status is still a question mark.
  • I missed my therapist’s appointment Monday because I got off work too late. I need to call and re-schedule.
  • My Peer Advocate checked in yesterday via text. I need to call her.

I am off from my day job on Sunday, so the CBA Worksheet may have to wait until then.
