Lists

I've started using lists again. I hadn't been using them lately. Hadn't felt well enough to do much. Just going to the doctor and coming home to fall in bed didn't require a list. But I'm finally feeling well enough to resume some activity. Not healthy yet, but much better. Enough that I'm trying to un-bury my desk and clean my house. We will have company in two weeks -- my roomie's children and grandchildren to celebrate Christmas, and three of the grandchildren are going to spend the night so their parents can have a date night -- so better to start now and do what I can just in case I get sick again.

Also, the writing group's Christmas potluck is next Saturday. It's food, conversation, live music, the Christmas Story, and a few other activities. I want to stay on top of it so that I don't have to scramble on Friday.

I'm also attempting to publish the family newsletter and get some Christmas cards mailed. I need to get a haircut. And do some Christmas shopping. Several of my relatives are getting Blackbirds First Flight for Christmas! (If I know they haven't bought it -- and I do.) While I like to sell the books, I also want the stories read. I'd like to build up an audience for a Second Flight.

Anyway, between bills, housework, shopping, preparations, doctors' visits, errands, I need lists again to keep everything straight. I'm glad I feel well enough to start having a schedule again.

And that's pretty much what I'm doing this week: my lists. Hope your lists aren't too long and that they are easy to get accomplished. Have a great week.
