I'm still in a state of being overwhelmed over my list of things to do. My work list is mostly a matter of waiting for people to return calls or emails, along with meetings I need to cover for my boss. (Which means I need to be alert and take good notes for him, but that's okay.)
I am making moderate progress on home projects. I still haven't hung pictures, though, or gotten through the end of year shredding and filing, or gone through the other two filing cabinet drawers I intended to clean out. In fact, I'm still discovering address changes I need to do. I have some longer standing projects that I've made little to no progress on, too. For example, I've been filing sleeves of photo negatives in binders. But I can't find what I did with the 3 packages of sleeves, so that project is on hold. I suspect that they are buried somewhere in the Box of Shame, which has more or less overflowed its confines.
My one positive sign of progress is that I am about 2/3 of the way through the travelogue for my August / September trip. I am hoping to finish that in the next day or two. Then I can work on the Fiji stuff, assuming I can find the USB cable.
And, remarkably, not only is next weekend a three-day weekend, but I have absolutely nothing scheduled. Of course, I had nothing scheduled this weekend and about all I accomplished was a trip to Manassas to get rid of some books at McKay. I still might manage to make a pot of chili to fill the freezer and to do laundry before the day is out.
My new goal is to spend just 45 minutes a day (or the time of one CD) on household decluttering. That might also help in the goal of going through the CD collection.
