…I should be used to feeling this way after a week “off” to play with katie and enjoy a very relaxing long weekend at the beach. but it hit me hard this morning how behind I feel. if you’ve seen my desk, you know a week-plus pile of bills and other mail sitting beside a disorganized pile of knitting (and now needlepoint, too 🙂 bags is just not like me.
before I retired, I loved taking a day off for no other reason than to “play”; those days were always productive and I went back to work re-energized. funny, now that I play everyday, it’s just not the same. so while I’ll be back teaching tomorrow, I’ve decided to take a few more days before settling back into my normal routine next week.
stay tuned. I have big plans:
- sort through, edit, upload and print photos (which are living on all three of my cameras right now);
- rejuvenate my blog (and dress it for fall – that’s for you, sara!);
- finish my one little word prompt for september;
- make more knitting progress, update ravelry and organize that pile of bags;
- finish cutting for stone (oh my I love this book…and I’m sorry I waited so long to read it – thank you katie for the push!);
- catch up on two bible studies (both groups are meeting next week and I have not even started the material);
- sort through all that paperwork;
- enjoy the early morning cooler temperatures (we’re into the 60’s – woo hoo!) with a daily run or walk; and
- make sure marc leaves for china with all the clean clothes he needs 🙂
truly, the only thing I’m not doing this week that I had originally planned to do is clean the house. and maybe right now, that’s really all the vacation I need!
mere-et-filles 
That's a big list, good luck!
can't wait to hear about your trip!
know the feeling-realized tuesday morning i should have done a load of wash monday afternoon since i was scrounging for walking clothes-think i need one more day to be "back to normal". look forward to seeing how the photos turned out.
Ah…how do things get so far of course so quickly?
welcome home! it's always great to return home, even after a super getaway (and i'm sure yours was). looking fwd to reading all about the vaca – and seeing the blog in its fall dress, once you get those settlin' in tasks and chores d-o-n-e.cheers~
That photo looks more like my house than yours! 🙂
I'm exhausted reading the list! You are probably still further ahead of all of us with your knitting. I'm forging ahead with 2 different shawls – Damson and another Stephen West (without all of the strands to weave in). C u on Saturday at class!Have fun in the interim…..Pat
Go girl! You'll get through it!Who's having a baby? See u faving baby stuff. Cute.
hope you are making good progress!! i look forward to hearing how much you've checked off tomorrow :). i just cleared out my inbox and i feel free!
I really enjoyed Cutting for Stone too. I am amazed at how much history we were never taught in school—I knew nothing of these countries and their histories.
