DOOM LIST continued

I could go back and count days, but nobody really cares, do we?

That’s what I thought.

LIST! Which…omg, I gotta start focusing. It looks so bad because I take one thing off one section, and do half of one thing in another section…

But I got this. The list goes ever on and on, down from the pen where it began, and I must follow if I can, pursuing it with eager feet–wait, no, that’s not it.

Oddly, go to Harbor Freight’s parking lot sale and buy a lot of things I don’t actually need but TOOOOOOOLS is not on this list anywhere. Weird.

Y’all, I have a studfinder now. It and I seem to be having a disagreement about what a stud IS, but I have one.

oh, crud, it’s the eighth! I’m running out of time!

For Reference: The Updated and Extended List

• stock TP
• clean toilet (natch)

Front Hall and Closets

• hunt down and sweep up wandering cat and dog food
• dust
• rearrange closets so they work better good lord. (begun!) 🗹 ☐ ☐
• maybe think about what would make those closets work better? (maybe do this before the actual rearranging. Or not! Spontaneity is fun!) (First I gotta see what’s in them. See above.)

Kid’s Room

• shhhh, don’t tell her

Kitchen

• oh you know. Kitchen stuff. Keep the dishes up, fix food, take trash and recycling out

• clean out the fridge
• rearrange the freezer
• scrub the sink
• clean the microwave
• clean the stove

Front Yard

• Research and purchase camping gear
• investigate getting dryer duct cleaned
• Make food plan
