Important announcement: As of 4:30ish this afternoon, I am on vacation. (Can I get a whoo-hoo!)
I know everyone always asks when you says you’re going on vacation “Any big plans?” My response would be “We’re still in a pandemic here?” (Or apparently, as we should get used to saying “We’re in the new normal!” And since I’ve never golfed (save a couple of mini-golf sessions) and don’t plan on protesting anything, I will be staying close to home.
That’s not to say I won’t have some “excitement” around the house, as we will be getting a new roof put on, so the first part of the week will probably be quite loud around here. Not sure how our cat – who hates noise and is skiddish of new people (and thus makes him the perfect pet for me) – is going to react to all the curfluffle, especially since we are taking our “catio” down for the few days.
I shouldn’t suggest that I won’t be leaving the property for the entire week – although it’s been …hmm…when did I leave the property? Anyways, I will be getting shot (or rather A shot) on Friday. Yes, I will be getting my first vaccination shot next week. I just hope that whichever shot I get won’t be immediately discontinued after I recover from the side effects.
I am a little bitter because I am going to Woodstock to get my vaccination, instead of Talladega where they let you drive around the track after you get vaccinated.
Above and beyond all that, however, as always I hope to get to work on my To Do list. I have decided that I am going to try and tackle one major thing per day and get it accomplished. Usually I figure “Well, if I break each task down into pieces and schedule to do one task from one major project each day, I’ll get it done!” But what ends up happening is I end up having 10-15 things on my To Do list. do about two or three and then stress out about not getting anything done. I am hoping that this approach will still allow me to get things done without the stress of trying to do everything at once.
One extra thing I am going to do this weekend is the debut edition of Your Midnight Milner Moment. Don’t worry – I’m not venturing into Vincent Price territory here. I am just going to record a podcast at around midnight and see where it takes me. Since I’m guessing the only person who will listen to it will be my friend Jason, I’m thinking I can be pretty free with what I have to say.
By the way, if you read this blog and want to see what I have to say, my podcast is located here.
