Summer days are filled with so many things to do and, once I turn the calendar to August, the list grows. Today, a traditional blog post took a back seat to other pursuits large and small. But, since I didn't want to leave a blank space where a Tuesday post ought to be, I thought I'd share a sampling of the things I did today instead of writing a blog post. :-)
Though it wasn't intentional, I took the morning off which it seems, set the tone for the day. I also:
- sorted through a few things that needed new homes and put them there;
- met with the textbook representative to talk about kids and college and, oh yeah, set up my online textbook;
- played Words With Friends and various New York Times games (see also: took the morning off);
- chilled out;
- texted with friends about Kamala Harris' VP pick;
- read a chapter in a book of writing exercises (re-discovered when I sorted through those things needing new homes);
- did laundry;
- hung out in my sunroom, through sun and rainstorms;
- listed a few gratitudes in my gratitude notebook;
- mulled over a few new writing ideas;
- considered working on my jigsaw puzzle, but never quite got to it;
- read an article about Prince Harry in People Magazine;
- cut up another issue of People to use in my collages;
- finished up some contracted work ahead of schedule, and made progress on a bit more;
- looked for gossip (see also: read a chapter in a book of writing exercises):
- got a $3 drink at Starbucks;
- kept my promise to myself to write more in my idea book;
- enjoyed phone calls with my daughter and my dad;
- browsed online for a bookshelf that may or may not be a good idea;
- checked email a bunch of times, yet didn't delete nearly enough from my inbox.
Some days, I'm very task-oriented. Today was one of those days -- eventually -- but not all the tasks got completed in the usual fashion.
Then again, who's to say that the usual fashion is always the best way?
Especially over summer vacation.
