Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

My bedroom office is a pit. Well, not really a pit, not yet. It's at the tipping place where, if I tackle the desk, the chairs, and the floor under the desk now and hang clothes, put folded (!) laundry away, file papers and put things used and left out away, it can be rescued fairly quickly. If I let it go another day or two it will be much much harder and take longer to sort out, and the downhill slide to OMG I Am A Sloven will be much faster.

But like Suzi, I don'wanna.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I went to skating practice, did and put away all the laundry (which included changing the bed, a task I dislike way out of proportion to how much time it takes). Oh, and watched a lot of Supernanny in between tasks. Tonight I am off to see a movie with my friend Heather. Tomorrow, to the office in the morning, then home to vacuum and clean, then pick up the DH at the airport at 4pm. Yay!

I have done nothing on my todo list. (My entire todo list is "clean house in anticipation (or dread) of my sister's visit.) Instead I am planning to make jam. but I need sugar and don't want to leave the house, because it's raining and I am a wuss. But I just spent about two hours trimming the ends off gooseberries.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I haven't done anything list-related, but oh well. That's what Sunday is for?

I have no list, but I should. We are leaving for essentially a month in 6 days. I should start figuring out packing and meds etc, right?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Laundry running
Cat boxes cleaned
Laundry room cleaned

I didn't even have a to-do list, but I really should...

Clean kitchen
Make dinner
Clean my room
Clean my bathroom
Do my nails

Can you guess what most likely will happen over everything else? And what color should I pick?

They're certainly separate in my house.

I'm so relieved to hear I'm not the only one who does this.

I lost most of the afternoon to a post-hamburger nap, so laundry hanging and working on a personal book for one of my bosses are going to have to wait until tomorrow.

Putting it away is a third and separate task.

Putting it away is a third and separate task.

And the most onerous by far, for me.

Agreed. It's like filing, but for clothes. What a drag.

I am making Angry Bird cake toppers and I have made 6 red birds, 10 pigs, including one with a crown and two with helmets, and 2 red birds. I have the bomb bird to do next and then I'm DONE. I'm putting them in the freezer until the birthday in September. I used candy clay which is sticky as shit. Maybe fondant would have been better?
