I&#8217;d forgotten how much I love to show tunes.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been running so much this week that I ended up coming home early from work (a combination of exhaustion and eating something that didn&#8217;t agree with my system at the pot luck at work) and I was asleep by 10:30.  Slept in until 8:30 am, then took a bath.  It&#8217;s been a lovely morning so far.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAs I&#8217;ve been running this week, I&#8217;ve been thinking, too.  There&#8217;s been a lot of driving, and time for me to think.  I took a break from writing, because I simply didn&#8217;t have the brain cells to put words together.  But I could plot, and I could dream.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI could also see what I&#8217;ve been doing: putting together massive to-do lists each day, and when I can&#8217;t finish even half of them, I lie in bed and beat myself up.  Or look at the list and say, &#8220;I&#8217;ll never be able to finish this,&#8221; with the same result.  Not conducive to good sleep, never mind good mental health.  So I&#8217;m going to do something different today.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nA short to-do list.  The important things that NEED to get done today.  I&#8217;m not allowed to go over 4 things.  And since one of them is a movie with the hubby, it will be easy.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMy to-do list for today:<br \/>\n<s>&#8211; See Real Steel with Argus<br \/>\n&#8211; Finish contract for Spells<br \/>\n&#8211; Wash<\/s> and put away the dishes in the sink<br \/>\n&#8211; Put away laundry<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s what absolutely needs to be done today.  I want to write as well, but those are the four things that I need to get done.  That list doesn&#8217;t look too bad.  I can accomplish that.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nBut first, tea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I&#8217;m listening to show tunes today.
