Things I thought I'd do when not working

A report card

When I was laid off in early December, I thought I would take care of housekeeping at home and work.

I thought I’d clean my office and file my papers.

I’m down from about six loose boxes in my home office to two. So, Incomplete.

I thought I’d have all the artwork up on the walls of a house we moved into in August.

I haven’t even hired someone to do the real work. So, flunking grade.

I thought I’d travel more. Not really. We’ve got two trips abroad ahead. (We don’t do long trips because of the dogs.)

I thought I’d walk the dogs more. Check.

I thought I’d read more books. Check.

I thought I’d do yoga again. I don’t even feel like it.

I know I’m not the only person North of 65 with a list of things I thought I’d do. What about you?
