The Somewhat Sad Tale of Monday's List


This has been the kind of week wherein you--meaning me--begin the week with a tidy little list, yet for every task you cross off the list, five more magically appear. (Which is partly me rationalising not having written anything all week.)

Started out each day with so many good intentions....but things got in the way. First, there's getting Roo (sweetest dog) her cookie & business walk & breakfast & water. Then picking the ripe tomatoes and cutting some roses and dahlias, and watering and then wanting to work out, but it's too gorgeous to be indoors, and besides, now Roo wants a real walk, so the workout plan begins to dissolve. And then you open the fridge for some milk, and realise the blueberries and raspberries from the farmer's market are not going to last another day, and what the h--l are you going to do with all that pear/apple/plum sauce? So you have to get online and search for recipes, which leads to email and......blah, blah, blah. The worst of it is that none of these things are on the list.

Today seemed really productive, but list-wise, it was a disaster. However, I did attempt to make my own sundried tomatoes and rose petals for who-knows-what. OK, that's my week in a nutshell. Maybe I'll get the filing and cleaning done over the weekend....
