Daily 5 - Day 326

Today's Daily 5:
  1. reviewing anatomy while laying in a bubble bath in mom and dad's big soaker tub - how fun is it that my study "office" comes with those kind of perks.  Mom and Dad were both out all day today, thus no clients of mom's coming and going, meaning I could use the big upstairs bathroom and do homework in the tub.
  2. Having the whole day of quiet time, in a house that doesn't have all sorts of issues
  3. managing to finish nearly everything on what was an admittedly rather long list for the day
  4. working in little chunks - taking breaks here and there
  5. the satisfaction that comes from planning my week, and then managing to take chunks out of my list early in the week.

List Making

It's Monday morning and I am getting a slightly later start to the day and week than I'd hoped.  Rest, however, seems to be essential, and I took the time to start moving pretty slowly this morning.  I'm feeling the affects of spending large chunks of the weekend out in the sun (doesn't matter how much water I drink, I always seem to end up with a headache after a couple of days of sun), and a couple of days of hauling bricks while helping to lay a paving stone driveway and sidewalk at mom and dad's.

My clothes are filthy, and all in the laundry (I stayed at mom and dad's all weekend again) and so I'm sitting here in my pajamas, writing a blog post, and making the lists that will govern my week.

Lists that include all the homework for the week, all the chores that must be done that I know of, and the various and sundry other must be done's as well.  I get a ridiculous amount of satisfaction out of making lists.  And an even greater satisfaction out of marking things off my lists.  So, I'm starting my Monday slightly later, but with list making.  Seems a good way to begin another week.
