Tackling Tuesday - What are you doing?

**Libby** · 01-15-2008, 07:55 AM

Today I NEED to get chores done...been focusing my attention elsewhere lately and barely been getting by with the few bits of chores that I have done.

After work today, I WILL:
* take out trash, empty recycling
* laundry
* spend 1 hour decluttering in bedroom (the org challenge

)
* go to swimming
* make my lunch when I get home after hanging up my swim stuff to dry

What are y'all doing today?

**frugalwanttobe** · 01-15-2008, 08:11 AM

I am going to the eye doctor.

**ballylarkin** · 01-15-2008, 08:20 AM

I'm working from 8-5, then coming home to an empty house as my SO had to drive the 1.5 hours to Madison this morning and will be there until late tonight.

I'll probably watch my taping of Dr. Phil, eat something light and relax....hopefully finish the book I'm almost done with.

On my agenda for today is get well and sleep!! I started getting sick on Sunday, but managed to work yesterday. I called in today and thought it would be best to take care of whatever it is. I have a sinus infection. I have some antibiotics and hopefully will be feeling better soon.

Other than getting well, I have some homework to complete before tomorrow. I guess I will work on it later.

Ah Tues, the first day of my work week (blech!)

So far I've:
~made lunches and ushered kids to school
~got my loss leaders + coupons
~walked home in the snow - hard enough so it counts as exercise
~done my annoying banking chores. Love the credit union but wish it was closer now and then

I still have to:
~work
~make lunches for tomorrow
~make dental appts
~update personal calendar
~stay away from sad news - Seasonal Affective Disorder kicking in right on time...

Have a great day everyone
