Small Victories

I'm always talking or thinking about changing my life, about making better changes, about getting out of ruts. I always feel like I'm wishing I was a better person, more organized, got more sleep, was a better friend, that I wasn't lazy, that I wasn't late to anything, etc.

Today I woke up early and went to Kauffman Tire -- got my oil changed, tail light replaced, alignment done, two tires replaced (I have been putting this off). I did a little extra groccery shopping. I then went back to my apartment and met Beth there. I watched football with her and made lunch -- fajita chicken salad. I cooked the chicken and chopped all the veggies and laid everything out buffet-style for people to pick their toppings.

Last weekend I finally hung some paintings and did some more organizing. I cleaned out part of my car. Today I set up my wireless router and installed wireless capabilities on my desktop computer and am typing this via a wireless secured connection from my laptop. I reogranized my files and did laundry.

These activities may sound mundane and general, but they are the things I never get done. Despite my best intentions, I do not get things done. I'm working on it. Monday is for getting things dry cleaned and alterations done to all the pants I've bought that are too long for me to wear without being hemmed....
