List Driven

I figured that I would be sleeping in late after having stupidly stayed up late. This was not the case, I was out of bed and in the kitchen as the clock struck nine. While I was dressing my mind started racing with ideas of what I should get done in the coming days. I decided to write it down. I learned years ago that I gain huge satisfaction from crossing things off lists and that that can drive me. My completionist nature also feels compelled to finish all the items. The whiteboard in the kitchen was my destination for this list. I loaded it up with numerous small tasks and elements of the larger ones. It was a healthy list and I decided to clear it in the next 48 hours. That would help resurrect my productivity. Before I started though, I slowed down to enjoy the ritual of cooking a nice breakfast for myself. To celebrate the one I love most, me. I cooked some bacon and browned off some chorizo. I didn’t crumble the bacon back in this time when I added the scrambled eggs. Another change I made today is that I put the cheese on the bottom then scooped the scramble mixture on that. I also warmed up some spinach in the pan and out that in too. That added a lot. As you can see from the cross section, it was awesome.

With my guts filled all the way up and the dish mess sorted it was time to start working on the list. First item of business was the driveway. I wanted to get a little exercise and get my heart pumping to help digest that sizeable breakfast. Next up was to work on my painting from the work activity last week. It went okay for the first time painting something like this. I do heavily regret tracing around the eyes. It severely ruins it for me. But I can take solace in the fact that I mixed all the colours myself. That aspect looks interesting if nothing else. And it is distinguishable as a tiger, another good sign. I put it wide by each with the professional version and ignoring the stupid eyes, I prefer my color palette.

I kept on trucking once this was done and moved along down the list with some laundry and some cleaning. I found myself still working away at a bathroom at nine in fact. Tomorrow being a holiday I was in good shape to finish the list. I also played that infernal game for a few hours. I am making too many in-game purchases and playing right into their hands. I’m going to have to find a way out of it. There was a second meal into the evening. I felt obligated to eat again because I was starting to feel weird and uncomfortable in the brain. It was a light meal because it was late. At the end of the day this is where I had progressed to.
