The holidays are officially over and its time to move on. This weekend I hope to accomplish some, if not all, of these tasks to help achieve that goal:
- Take down the Christmas tree
- Put away all the Christmas decorations (with the possible exception of the lights on the outside of the house. I might be willing to be talked into leaving those there for next year, but it’s going to take a really good argument).
- Reorganize the living room. Jen has a floor plan that looks interesting. It puts the picture window opposite the TV, but with the blackout curtains that won’t be a problem. We’ll try it and see how it feels. I also still want to buy a new comfy chair for the living room, but not right now.
- Replace the dearly departed snow shovel. Should there still be snow on the driveway after a couple of days with temps in the mid-40’s, use the new shovel to clear it off.
- Replace the fluorescent light bulb in the kitchen. Possibly also look into replacing some of the dead fluorescent bulbs in the cellar too.
Ancillary to all of this, I still haven’t heard back from the plumber. I’m assuming I won’t be able to get anyone over to look at the kitchen sink until next week, but I’ll keep trying.
Tonight the kids are going out to play Magic with their dad. Jen is going to an after-work function that should take all night. I am on my own. What should I do? I’ll tell you. I am going to go to a cinema, buy a huge-ass bucket of popcorn, and see Star Wars again. The popcorn is noteworthy because first thing tomorrow morning, before all of the to-do list fun starts… I’m going back to Weight Watchers. I’m doing it even if it kills me. I also need to fix whatever is up with my legs. I need to exercise them. I need to walk. I need to go to the gym and use the treadmill to build up a little strength and stamina. I need to.
Tonight: Star Wars and popcorn, and maybe even a large regular Coca~Cola, just out of spite.
Tomorrow: Weight Watchers and Planet Fitness.
Tomorrow and Sunday: All of the stuff on the list above.
May the Force Be With Me and my fat ass.
