covered in punk

Yesterday was wonderful! I took the day off work to putter around the house. I had a delightful time and I actually did some cleaning/organizing.

My first task was to create the master list. This includes everything I could ever dream of doing in the day. Then I assigned durations to each task and determined if it was possible. It was, whew. Then I determined when good tv programs were on so I could make sure to be in a room with a tv at those times.

Since the cat's room gets really hot in the afternoon, I decided to work in there first. I was feeling really ambitious so I emptied out the litter boxes and scrubed them with bleach. I also swept up all the litter granuals that were on the floor. Now the cats can feel loved.

The next order of business was to clean my bathroom and bedroom. This was during an interesting tv time since Dr. Phil was on. His guests were real life desperate housewives. I was amazed by how easily I got hooked on the daytime tv and how little actually happened during the hour. They really drag things out by recapping after every commercial. After hearing from the women on the show, I was extremely grateful for my own life.

Now it was time for lunch. I had quickie soup by opening a can of broth, throwing in a few noodles and some corn. Yum. Now it was time for Misty and I to take a nap while Young & the Restless was on.

I reluctantly got up to do some more cleaning, this time downstairs. This was actually kind of fun, cause I needed to put away all my new Pampered Chef stuff. I washed the new pans and cleared out my old ones. I made a resolution to do more cooking now that I spent lots of $$ on the pans.

I didn't get my whole list finished, but I did have a relaxing and productive day. I could have pushed myself harder, but I wanted it to be a laid back day.

30 day challenge update: I'm doing pretty good with flossing everynight. I can't say that its been 100%, but in the last eight days I've completed about 6 days. So thats 75%. Not too shabby. What I've discovered is that if I forget one night, its really easy to fall back into the habit of not doing it. So I need to be more intential in making a time to floss.
