To make a list.

As I sat looking around my house (it still sounds weird to say that, my house), I was starting to get overwhelmed by all the stuff that I wanted to get done. All the things I needed to get fixed. All the things I wanted to do. All the little projects I wanted to try. A friend was over to help me scrub floors, and vacuum out the vents.

I'm so thankful for friends that will teach me how to use a shop vac. (and for realtors that will let me use their shop vac.)

We found all kids of stuff in the vents.

Back to the point. She told me to make a list with all the small tasks that needed to get done. Then just start ticking them off. She said not to put things like "clean floors," but to put things like "clean living room floors," or, "remove staples from living room floor. So I made a list, in expo marker, on the giant living room mirror wall.

And thanks to some rusty staples, I added one more thing to my list... A tetanus shot. Well I made it two days into this thing without a trip to quick care.
