And so it goes...

Finally, the calls are going to stop. The last of my outstanding debts was paid today, so while I'm totally broke, I'm also feeling a bit better. Although, my stomach has been off for a couple of days; if it's not one thing getting me, it's another.

*NOTE: Conall just ripped a stuffed toy to shreds under my feet - I must pay more attention to the little guy. He's like a toddler who just gets into trouble for the fun of it.*

Yesterday I finally managed to get my to do list accomplished. All, save the photos which I finished off this morning. All are named and cropped and blurred in the appropriate places. ...I'm kidding, by the way, folks. Just my way of attempting cuteness.

At any rate, the snow is starting to come down again, so Conall will be eager to get into it. There are a few projects around the house I'd like to hop on as well. And I should get to the gym.... it's just that since New Years, the place is never empty when I go. I can't wait until every one's enthusiasm dies down and I can go by myself.

Recently, my writing has been more of a cheating; listing my daily routine without much poetic forethought. I'm going to make a conscious effort to put myself into the grey a little more. We'll get away from "My So-Called Life" and get more towards some real insight. Sounds good, no?

Is it really only 3pm?

Yesterday we:
- took the pup to High Park, where despite his size, was beaten up.
- bathed the dog (white dog and mud, you do the math)
- got groceries
- got dog treats and training toys
- got the old photos digitized and OFF my wall.

Today I:
- woke with Craig (no sleeping in)
- made the bed
- walked the dog
- did the laundry (including hauling 3 loads up and down stairs)
- cleaned the kitchen and living room
- folded and hung clean laundry
- vacuumed
- dusted
- walked the dog again
- read a bit of Stephen T. Colbert's "I AM AMERICA (and so can you!)", it's actually very funny! SURPRISE!

I have yet to:
- clean the bathroom
- walk to the mall
- run errands
- make a REAL dinner (a personal favourite, taco bake; perhaps I'll share the recipe later tonight)
- clean-up the digitized photos

Let me tell you how I'm feeling... actually, you take a guess! I've got too much to do!

...Good thing I'm cutting back on those sedatives, today those would spell the end of my efficacy!

I didn't do it!

Yesterday's To Do List:

-grocery shopping, didn't do it
-house cleaning, didn't do it
-laundry, didn't do it
-puppy play at dog park (2 hours of outside time), got one hour, anyway
-puppy bath, didn't do it
-photo rescues (digitizing old ones), didn't do it
-new framing for said photos, didn't do it
-perhaps some writing titled, "You never knew me better than I knew myself", didn't do it

We spent the day relaxing and enjoying the day. It was nice! Now today will be crazy, instead.

Also, my knee is no longer paining me, but it's definitely weaker that it was before the dislocation. The gym is going to come in very handy for my self-physiotherapy. :-)

Now sleep... lots to do in a few hours.

Things To Do Today

It's already noon and I feel like I'm falling behind...

-grocery shopping
-house cleaning
-laundry
-puppy play at dog park (2 hours of outside time)
-puppy bath
-photo rescues (digitizing old ones)
-new framing for said photos
-perhaps some writing titled, "You never knew me better than I knew myself".

Add to all this my knee is still buggered up, so I have to be very careful about how I move. It's one of those things that happens the second you let your guard down and you're not ready for it. Luckily Craig has a great sport brace that fits me, so when I'm out walking I can feel a bit more confident and not limp so much.

Part of getting better is using it normally... hey, there's some wisdom.

Anyway, this Broken Girl has to get away from the computer screen and onto the chores. We'll see what actually gets accomplished. ;-)

Second batch of shortbread ruined...

To do:

clean up latest baking attempt (yes, it's 7:30am),
clean up after dog,
clean up after cats,
clean up after husband,
clean up after workmen come through my holiday home,
do laundry,
work-out (and work the abs this time),
write my sister to thank her for the gift and wonderful letter,
and find a way to quell the anger at my adoptive mother.

...is there a rub-in cream for that?
