Going with the Flow
Recently, my sister made a list of all the things she wanted to accomplish in the day. In fact, she likes to add things she has already done, just so she can cross them out and feel like she is making headway. Her lists are usually long enough that it makes me tired just to read them.
Underachiever
Basically, I am an underachiever in comparison. But, I did have my list of sorts:
Take a shower and get ready to go out – done.
Take my meds and eat an apple for breakfast – done.
Go to the bank- oops!
Go grocery shopping -oops!
Get income tax done – waiting for Social Security statement, because I have never done taxes for disability before. – bummer!
Work on my current crafting project and make significant progress – still working on that one
Going with the Flow
Even though I am no longer working, and the days are basically my own to do whatever, they don’t always go as planned. In fact, my grandma always said, “Life happens, when you are making other plans”.
I thought it would warm up enough today to dry everything up, so I could take my son and go shopping after school. No such luck. I also need to get to the bank, because he is going to a youth rally this weekend and needs food and gas money.
The taxes will just have to wait, which may not be a bad thing. I may actually have to pay in this year on the retirement check I get from being formerly married to a military guy. (not sure on that one.) But, I still wanted to get it done and know the outcome. I will have to put that on a list for a couple of weeks from now.
Unfortunately, today I was also LAZY! Yes. I didn’t crochet while watching Netflix. I had the audacity to snuggle under a blanket and just watch.
Now, I sort of feel like I wasted a day. But, I am also learning that it is a lot less stressful when I am going with the flow.
Do you ever feel like me?

I did not accomplish much in the way of tasks today either. I did enjoy a day of “going with the flow” so I’m happy.
