:
Yesterday was the most productive day that I have had in quite some time.
It got off to a rocky start when I went out for icecream, discovered that had I left my wallet behind, and returned home to find that I was temporarily locked out. In the early afternoon, however- once I was finished with moping and eating chocolate icecream- I decided that I was going to make the day especially meaningful.
I started by improving upon a few jewelry pieces that I had made, and I moved on to clear all of the clothing off of the floor of the livingroom and bedroom (anyone who knows me will understand just what a feat this was-I am a notorious clothes horse, to put it lightly). Clean clothing went into the closet and dresser, dirty clothing became at least four loads of laundry. Following that I did the dishes, cleaned the bathroom, fixed one of my shirts that had been in an unfortunate Italian salad dressing accident, vacuumed the bedroom and livingroom, cleaned most of the clutter from the kitchen chairs, turned the couch from a makeshift bed into a couch, made the bed into a bed again, rearranged the livingroom furniture, sorted through three large baskets of clothing and what-not that had been hiding in a corner, and returned my beading supplies back to their shelves. I also managed to fit in nearly four hours of studying for calculus, covering nearly everything that we have studied so far. I also managed to make a lovely pizza with marinated artichoke hearts and garlic-and-chive Boursin cheese.
This shows just how much can be accomplished in a very short day. I started my chores well after noon, and I still managed to accomplish more than I usually accomplish in a week. I am hoping for more of the same today... we shall see.
