My dear blogging friends,
Today’s post is basically my to-do list, published here for one main reason: accountability. If I not only write down what I want to achieve but also share it with you, I’ll have to follow through, right?
So here goes:
Bust first, coffee ☕ – check! Already done. Yay me!
Laundry 🧺 One load of hockey stuff, one load of regular clothes.
Mise-en-place 👕 for Colin’s practice tonight: hockey textiles, clothes to wear after showering.
Recycling ♻️ Even though we don’t do excessive gift giving and only had visitors once over the holidays, a lot of glass (mostly pasta jars), cardboard, water bottles, and the like have accumulated.
Video 💻 of last night’s hockey 🏒 game: Colin’s team won, so I’m excited (or perhaps slightly daunted?) about spending three hours putting it together.
UBC: Commenting 🗓️ on posts from January 3 and 4 (Amanda, Patricia, Nadya, Kebba, Martha, Lily, Kim) – and today’s posts. Since we were on the road, I’m a bit behind, but you know I’ll get there.
Finishing ✍🏻 this post, obviously. By the time you read it, I’ll have managed!
Editing 👩🏼💻 an article for our local magazine: This one’s been weighing on me for weeks. I handed it in on January 1 and just got it back with a mile-long list of things to streamline, add, rephrase, or delete.
Grocery shopping 🛒 After two weeks of irregular meals and snacking, we’re going back to normal, and I need to stock up. Note to self: don’t forget trash stickers. (What are they, you ask? They’re part of the Swiss “pay-as-you-throw” system: household trash bags must have official stickers—or be official taxed bags—and the cost of the sticker covers waste disposal. The idea is to encourage recycling and reduce household waste by making people pay only for what they throw away. A standard Swiss household trash bag is roughly 9 gallons and costs about CHF 3, or USD 3.80. Ouch! Hence my frequent trips to the recycling center.)
Make a doctor’s 👩🏻⚕️ appointment to check blood fats and iron levels.
I’m sure there’s more, but for now, this is more than enough. Off to work I go!
Happy back-to-everyday-life, everybody – what’s on your plate today?
The magazine article sounds like fun. My to-do list today includes juice prep & juicing, a workout, making golden milk, a hair treatment, culling Christmas decor mainly the ornaments, clipping Pepper Jack’s nails, and reviewing work notes.
ReplyDeleteWay to go already completing some things on your list! Some things on my list are laundry (so behind), making lunch and dinner (been in the take out habit since the holidays), and a dance class
ReplyDeleteInteresting system with pay as you go for trash!
ReplyDeleteIn our Oregon town, we have recycling pick up 2x month (seperate times for glass and co-mingled/ monthly payment for trash, with a little extra for the recycling)
Our Zero Waste group volunteers have several events a year for many of the items that general recycling doesn't accept - 4$ for a bag.
On my list for today:
• I've already had the ☕️ and exercise
• i really need to Finish typing the church board notes and send them out!!
• a bit of tidying, wash dishes and counters
• maybe a run to the art store when I'm out to pick up grandkids from school
• do some more organizating of my Atelier, for the facilitator training
Great list! I spent my day at a workshop about business planning for 2026. I learned a lot and can't wait to apply it to my business. Before that, I did the Wordle and had coffee. (Wordle was tough today.) And I did some work and wrote today's blog post. No wonder I'm tired! XO
ReplyDeleteThat's quite an extensive list Tamara, but I know you will get it done! I always have to write notes or lists, I'm getting ready to go to my daughters this morning and I already have my list including stopping at the recycling center because I forgot to write that on my list yesterday! LOL
