A little over a month ago, I posted a list of things I’d been trying to get done for five months. While I got a lot of it done, I didn’t do it all — and it’s grown.
I’m going to try to get everything in purple done today, and everything with a * done this week.
UPDATE 02/08: I’m trying to get everything in blue done today (Tuesday).
UPDATE 02/09: Today is redrum.
UPDATE 02/10: Apparently trying to divide this list into days isn’t working for me, so from now on I’m just going to tackle this list like I did the last one: a little at a time.
Open IRA and transfer 401(k) to it*.My new job has 401(k), also, so I really want to get this moved as soon as possible.- Reorganize work area*. I organized most of my work area last month, but now that I’m not working from home anymore, I want to organize it so that it can be utilized solely for writing. The way I have it organized now, everything for work is within reach, and everything for writing… not really.
- Pay back Mike. Poor Mike. He’s been keeping my nicotine levels stable and helping me out with anything else that he can. I feel horrible that I owe him so much money from Christmas and that he’s still helping me out. At the same time, it’s a nice feeling; like he says all the time, I’d do it for him. It’s so nice to be in a relationship like that.
- Pay Mom for January, February, and probably March car insurance. More guilt ensues.
Put aside money for 2010 taxes. It’s a good thing I have until April, huh?- Edit first draft of Sade On the Wall and add chapters for second draft*. First, an outline!
- Pawn sword*. I have a replica of a samurai suicide sword that an old boyfriend once bought me. At the time, I wanted to collect tons of sharp, pointy objects. It’s sat tucked between a couple of pieces of furniture for the last, oh, five or so years, because I’ve had nowhere to put it. Now that I’m older, I don’t even want to collect swords, nor do I want one in the house for when future Mini Liz and Mini Mike are roaming around. (Eek!) Plus? Hi, I’m broke! I’ve already tried one pawn shop but they don’t take weapons. I’m going to (try to remember to) try another one sometime this week.
- Upgrade processor. I want a faster laptop, and I want to play Sims 3 without it crashing, dammit!
Edit “In the Darkness, It Waits” for Confluenza reading*.Take car to Town Fair Tire to get tires checked out for leaks*.Discuss final payment*.- Redesign personal sites. I’d like to redesign EKB Designs, Letters of Love, and my blog, so that when I’m ready to renew my hosting, I can launch some sexy-ass sites¹.
- File tax return*.
- Exchange Dad’s Christmas gift*. I am so late on this. Good thing the receipt lasts until March 31st.
- Transplant dragon tree*. My poor little plant is way too big for the pot it’s in right now.
It never ends, I guess.
What’s on your To Do list?
¹All of my websites are still live at the moment, and my plan is definitely canceled. I’m starting to wonder if one of you were sneaky and renewed it for me. I’m thinking it’s a glitch on my host’s part, though, and while I’d love to be using my sites, I’m afraid that if I start using them again, they will get wiped and I’ll lose some data. Once I get back on my feet, I’m paying for three years in advance. It’s cheaper, and that way, I won’t have to worry about it again for quite some time.
*I want to try to get all of these things done this week!
