Here are 10 ways I SHOULD be using my time today.
1) Trying on clothes. I have to figure out what I'm wearing on New Year's Eve in Key West, but since I feel -- and, well, AM -- fat, it doesn't seem like too much fun.
2) Packing. I leave tomorrow, you know.
3) Calling Delta Airlines. They're only giving me 45 minutes between flights when I return through Atlanta, and it doesn't seem like enough. Yet something tells me they won't be happy to talk to me today.
4) Sorting books. I promised myself I would make one more run to Goodwill for 2010, and there is still time today (if I take the bus).
5) Making lunch. Please note I said "making lunch," not "ordering lunch." There is food in the kitchen, after all.
6) Recharing. Phone. iPod. Camera.
7) Taking out the recycling. Yes, there's snow out there. But it's not reasonable to wait until April to use the back door.
8) Decide what to do with my Christmas presents, currently by the front door.
9) Vacuuming whatever floor is visible, between the gifts and recycling.
10) Switching purses. Of course, first I'll have to decide what clothes I'm taking with me tomorrow ...
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Hope you get everything done and have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteYou so deserve this trip. Take your time and don't stumble over those bags and get hurt before you have to leave.
ReplyDelete45 minute layover is a little scary in Atlanta.....hmmm....maybe you should take your roller skates.
Can't wait to hear all about it! Have fun.

I'm glad you're getting a chance to hang out with some friends for NYE. It should be a very fun trip.
ReplyDeleteLike Mimi, can't wait to hear all about the fun!
