canyonwalkerThis past weekend I rearranged plans by Saturday morning and decided it would be a take-it-easy, stay-near-home weekend. I then set 5 goals for (mostly) taking it easy. It's Monday morning now... so how did I do?
Well, considering that when I posted that list after lunch on Saturday I had already completed two of the 5 goals, not good. I only achieved a total of 3 out of 5!
The goals that dropped on the floor were #4, sending in my taxes, and #5, using the hot tub a second time. I was pretty achy Sunday night so I wish I had hit the hot tub at least once more. Taxes, I'll have to do this week as we're leaving town Friday night... for Hawaii!... and won't be back until it's virtually too late. (We'll be back on the Sunday 4/17; taxes are due Monday 4/18. I am not going to wait until the literal last day to file.)
In lieu of the two goals I missed I did do other things that took longer than expected or weren't on my list to start with.
— Cleaning the patio for summer took longer than expected. That's because rather than just do a quick sweep of the patio and then set out the chairs, I hosed down and scrubbed the patio, then wiped down the table and a few of the chairs. I washed the sliding glass door inside and out. I even took down the screen door, washed it, and rehung it. I did a wash-and-scrub on our bedroom balcony, too. The balcony door I left alone as it's not dusty and grimy like the patio door.
— Took a bite out of my blog backlog. I pushed out two more entries from the weekend before last, about "camping" in the desert and the start of our hike at Red Rock Canyon. There's still a lot more in the backlog... three more posts to finish up that weekend trip, plus I've fallen behind on writing about beer tasting 2022. I hope to get all caught up before we leave for Hawaii. Once we start that trip I'll have a whole new backlog to content with!
