September 2006 Master Lists

Certainly, giving my contribution back to the site is way up top on the list. Just don't have paypal and haven't internalized the need to get it.

I am really making progress elsewhere, though! They gave me a promotion and I'm all set to hire someone and take charge of the workflow of my design department. Who'da thunk? I'll come back to make my list a little later, but I wanted you all to know that I have not abandoned PA just when it came time to pay up.

Gnothi Seauton ~ Know Thyself

I decided I want to get down some of what I am ignoring. Taking stock is necessary before I can prioritize.

--SELF: go to bed at a decent hour, get up earlier, walk 2x/week and raise to 3x/week after awhile, eat healthier and more creatively (try out new cookbooks), take meds at proper times, drink more water (get a flylady bottle???), spend more time writing fiction, journal daily, review plans daily, find ways to enjoy family more
--OUT BACK: reroof cat kennel, repair henhouse, rehang hose caddy, clean and reorganize well house/shed, fix old garden fencing, till for fall garden, check for poison ivy around cat kennel, stir compost pile
--BACK YARD: after DH mows, spray for fleas; check on leaning eucalyptus tree (trim back/repot?)
--BUTTERFLY GARDEN: finish planting bulbs, pull weeds, put dirt from driveway in middle, lay down mulch, see what else needs planting or moving
--OTHER FLOWER BEDS: mulch, rearrange plants, get potted things in ground, remove poison ivy, clean up porch and sidewalk , pull weeds
--garage: rearrange so recycling bins will fit; repair or remove refrigerator; deodorize; cull stuff and get rid of junk; find better way to hang/store tools
--KITCHEN: clean up craft corner; get rid of excess kitchenware; rearrange shelves to be more functional and leave more counter space; try bleaching floor; clean oven
--DS ROOM: go through storage shelves and closet and get rid of as much as possible so DS doesn't have to keep living with it, get DS to clear out what he doesn't want then clean up
--HALL CLOSET: clear out space for board games and linens and extra office/school supplies
--BEDROOM: clear out piles of clothes and find all sheets and towels, reorganize them for accessible storage, raise head of bed 4", throw out chair?, do a good dusting, clear off dresser, declutter bathroom
--LIVING ROOM: clear off table and deal with papers, organize desk better
--FRNT BATH: keep clean so we can the plumber, see if wallpaper can be reglued
--CALL A PLUMBER: repair front toilet seal (and floor?), repair dishwasher and sink sprayer, replace faucet on pasture side of house
--get Property to repair shower stall and dryboard and replace flooring in both baths, put vent in door of front bath
--STUDY AT CHURCH: finish getting rid of stuff and put up all books, organize teaching supplies, make desk clear for use as healing table; make tabletop pad (or find one) that's easy to put on and off

CHURCH WORK:
Confirmation--plan retreat, prep more thoroughly for Sunday classes, EMAIL RELEASE FORM TO OTHER PASTORS
SS--?
Worship--think of fun things to incorporate while Council is supportive of that
Visitation--make monthly schedule for shut-ins and stick to it
Fellowship--think of things appealing to younger families and singles, ways we could offer socializing for seniors (transportation and helpers needed)
Discipleship--how to incorporate into every aspect (also stewardship)

Most of All: how to keep me interested and motivated, how not to get resentful and angry

OR: screw the above and figure out how to leave!!!!
