This morning I woke up ready to take on my to-do list. I was pumped and raring to go.
I got out to get my grocery shopping done as I usually do every Tuesday morning … and it only took me 20 minutes to clean off the car and shovel it out.
Got back home at a decent time, and after a bit of doom scrolling I took Alex to his program. Great! I had a couple of hours to get some things crossed off my to-do list.
I just had to get gas first. And pick up Alex’s computer from Best Buy. And stop at Tim Horton’s for lunch—gotta keep my energy up for my to-do list. Oh! And I needed sausages from a different store than I get my groceries at.
Finally I got home … just in time to pick Alex up from his program!
Now, at 4:30, I’m sitting at my computer getting the first thing done that was actually on my to-do list (blogging), and feeling a combination of satisfaction at getting so many things done and frustration that only one of them was on my list.
I don’t know if I need a longer list or I should just say to hell with everything else. 🙄
Suggestions welcome.

Ha! You need a list that is longer! A long to do list of your to do list stuff!

There are days like this that I add the things I’ve done to my to-do list simply for the satisfaction in crossing them out and seeing what I accomplished.

I write stuff on my list after it’s been done, and then cross it off. LOL

I’d just add all those extras to the to do list then cross them off. Looks like you got a lot done.
