...And no, I don't intend to retype this list everyday ... just wanted to make sure I got a GREAT start on this week.

But ... Whew! It feels good to get some things on my to-do list done. Why not all? Because I know me. I know I need to make a BIG list so that I'll get at least some done. I won't feel like a failure. I feel good that some things got crossed off my list.

I guess the key is learning about myself and how I do things. From getting things done at home, in work (my writing), for my son, and for my health (eating and exercise).

Know myself.

I sure wish I'd spent more time with my Kid today, listening to whatever is on his mind. But we did have fun giving the goats hay and giving the chicken her eye medicine and treats of cheese. And nearly getting blown over by the horrible wind we had today. And he helped me move stuff around. He chose where he wanted his desk in the front room: where he can look over his computer screen to see the mountains to the west.

Hmm. We DID spend time together. I guess if he had something specific to talk about, he would have. He knows he can come to me.

Well, I think. After all, he IS a teen!

BUT ...

Did I track my food?

Yes.

Did I track my calories?

No.

Carbs?

No.

Calories burned?

No.

But I did make a hand-scribbled note so I **intend** to get caught up on everything tomorrow.

I know. I said that yesterday.
