Clean the hall closet.
This, you'll notice, has been a recurring goal. (g) Actually, this morning, I cleaned the whole bottom of the closet!!! Yay!!!! Here's what it looks like. I can even close the door now.
Too exhausted from that chore to attempt the upper shelves today, but at least now I can get the door closed. That has not happened in many months.
Last night, one of my ex-bosses came over with boxes of stuff I'd accumulated in my desk over the 38+ years of service. We met in the driveway. He handed over the boxes, and the DH and I brought them into the house. I had no idea it was so much!
In the bag was my elderly plant of maybe 20 years old, which seems to have come back safe and sound, in one piece, and is now on the kitchen table, ironically next to a plant I got about three years ago from the current regime on Administrative Assistant's Day. I'll have to take a picture of that one of these days.
He mentioned that also in an envelope in the bag, was my severance check. When I opened it I was surprised to learn I'd gotten 4 weeks instead of the original 2 weeks pay promised. Yay!
Work on at least one manuscript.
Yesterday I got 351 words done on Diary of a Nervous Baby Boomer.
Get exercise, preferably by walking Rascal.
The DH and I took Rascal for a long walk to the library so he could return some DVDs, so that goal was accomplished. So far today, I took Rascal on a short walk, but we plan to do more later after the DH watches a few uneducational TV programs.
Obstructions:
Yesterday, on the way to the library we stopped at the barber shop to talk to our friend, Dan, so we were delayed for a while. Later, we stopped at an aunt's house. Both were enjoyable things to do, but delayed work on the manuscript, resulting in a lower page count than the previous days.
Time on the phone was also spent discussing what items needed returned to me from the drawers of my old desk.
