If there's one thing that stresses me out, it's having a lot to do and feeling disorganized. I used to be a list-maker. For some reason, I stopped making lists. Maybe I should start making them again, especially since I seem to be unable to remember things as I once did. There are only 11 days till my new semester begins, so here's what I need to do, in no particular order:
- hem those pants that I've had for months and haven't hemmed.
- clean up the Christmas stuff and get it down to the basement.
- prepare syllabi for three different classes.
- read the textbooks that go with the three different classes.
- mail gifts to older son and spouse's favorite aunt.
- send thank-you notes to folks for graduation and Christmas gifts.
- finish those trays that I started as Christmas gifts and get them sent to people.
- clean up the forty bales of cat hair that Simon has shed around the house.
- get laundry done.
- endure dental appointment.
- make mammogram appointment.
- make eye exam appointment.
- clean up my home office in preparation for next semester's tornado of paper.
- read the newest Sue Grafton novel.
- start checking my blood sugar again on a regular basis.
I'm sure there are other things that I'll need to add to this list as I think about it. All I WANT to do is sleep, watch tv, do crossword puzzles, crochet, do other crafts, read novels--nothing that is very productive, that's for sure.
I did not have this problem before I finished the dissertation, did I? Dr. S.
