Week-Long Pyramid Challenge - Week 13!
~I'll start this for the week since I'm pretty sure MH is busy with her foster dog.

We all know the drill right? Make a pyramid, make an inverted pyramid, do a baker's dozen or create your own shape. Whatever you do, do those little tasks that you've been procrastinating about! Let's get busy!~~Constance

I'm doing a diamond this week - 2,4,6,8,6,4,2

today:
1. Grocery shop
2. Clean bedroom & assess what needs to be done in there this week
Shopping is done, sort of, I ran out of energy before I got to the bottom of my list. We'll just have to do without the rest.
Room is about half done. I'm going to relax a bit, cup of tea maybe, then go clean up. I haven't looked at the piles of ongoing projects in there yet, but will prioritize them as I tidy them up.

I now have the most complicated to do list ever. It even has codes on it. I have identified 6 large jobs that need to be done, each with a number of smaller tasks. 2 jobs require the computer (so I will choose from the other four during the day when the kids won't let me near it). 1 job is dependent on two other jobs, so it must be done last. 3 I can work on anytime. They are listed in order of priority as sone are time sensitive.
OCD? I'm beginning to think so.
Tomorrow:
1. Denim quilt strips
2. Badges
3. Find fabric for binding
4. Cut up veg. for snacks

Don't know what my list will look like - only that I really need to get it done first thing tomorrow in order to have a successful week. My pyramid challenge week will run from Sunday through Saturday this coming week.
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
