Attitude: Bored

This Week I'm totally Into...
.
My boring routine. Get up in the morning, pick up 10 things/room and fold laundry if there are not 10 things to pick up. Pack my lunch. Check the news online. Do my stretching exercises and use the elliptical trainer. I'm up to 21 minutes now. Whoo hoo. Feed the bird. Feed the cats. Check the dogs water. The Saint usually feeds the dogs in the morning. Take my shower, and get dressed. On off days, due to the giant de-junking project, my day also includes 2 hours of de-junking on whatever rooms I'm working on. If The Saint isn't home, and it's not raining 30 minutes in the garden as well. Right now I am weeding.
Yes, it's boring.
On workdays, If I have time and energy when I get home, I play my guitar, or blog, or write. Lately I just zone out in front of the TV during dinner, and go to bed. Too tired.

This week I'm Avoiding...
.
Boxing up The Saint's grandmother's hats. After she died, the three hats she kept from the Thirties were one of the things I kept. At the time I was into hats. I thought they'd make good Halloween hats, or fun regular hats. Never happened. So, they are going to The Saint's brother's house. He has kids who might want them. I'm not avoiding it so much out of sentiment, although I liked the Saint's grandma, as I am the effort involved in getting the step stool out, and boxing them up.
I also have to call my sister, and ask her if she wants our Mom's camera. Mom called it "The Minolta" in her precise, pleased voice. We don't use it anymore. But, maybe she'll want it. I hope so. Because I don't really want to keep it.

What Else is on My Mind....
.
Playing Guitar; not as much as I'd like.
De-junking; it will be on my mind until it's finished.
Writing; some interesting ideas lately, but no time to do them justice at the moment.
Spring; almost here and I can't wait - it feels like spring this morning.
Work; I'm not looking forward to my schedule change at all. It is going to suck.

The Week ahead....
Health- Exercise every day. Drink at least 32 oz. Of water. Keep to my low carbs.
Personal - Practice guitar every day. Practice piano every other day. Write every day, even for just a few minutes. Be nice to Ken. Work on de-junking the dining room.
Professional - Keep my mouth shut. Work on the new scheduled. Work on my bad attitude.
Fun - Take time to have a little now and then.
