Playing catch up.
Now that the black belt test is behind me, I feel like I’ve got my life back. I put off so much, both household tasks and decision making. It’s not like I used the time in a constructive manner, to manage my pre-test stress or even practice forms breakdowns.
What I’ve caught up with:
- Clearing dead plants off the front porch
- Watering the African violets
- Filling out paperwork / sending out death certificates to financial institutions re: settling Mom’s estate
- Vacuuming scattered kitty litter out of the carpet in my room
- Making plane & hotel reservations for a planned trip to San Francisco next June
- Saw doctor about my damaged left ring finger terminal joint
- Began writing thank yous to people who sent flowers or made donations for Mom’s memorial
Still have to do:
- Stack the rest of the wood now that E assures me the outdoor faucet is fixed (yes, these are related)
- Write the rest of the thank yous to people who sent flowers or made donations for Mom’s memorial
- Design Christmas card
- Write Christmas letter
- Write 2000 word black belt essay (um yeah, that was supposed to have been done before the black belt test)
- Get fenders put on my bike
- Find an acupuncturist to see if they can do anything about nerve compression in my elbows
