An Accountability Day

I decided I wanted to have an accountability day. What I came up with was that I would list things I really would like to get done today, and check in here how things are going.  For me, today I need to go to the post office, deposit a check, pick up cat food and toilet paper, write thank you notes, post a vine review, find my RV cabin receipt, and organize my training and launch binders. I need to put my clean dishes away, and i would like to go through my books and decide which ones need to live in the RV with me. Lastly I would like to look at my calendar and roughly plan next week and the month in general. I think these are two easy groupings - one is an errand type group, and the other involves messing around on the computer and in the RV. I will start with the second group. None of these items are very involved. What would you like to get done?

I like this thread, Jilly! I'd like to do the laundry, get the gym bags ready, vacuum the downstairs, transfer appliances to the pantry, weed out and stack my aunt's hoard of canned goods, clean/dust our bedroom, get my daughter to the hospital for her weekly infusion, stop at the store to pick up some split peas for soup, wash out a few gross containers in the refrigerator, make some curry korokke for dinner, and go to my first toastmasters meeting tonight! Finished with the first six items on the list! I'll stop at the store on the way home and then force myself to stop procrastinating on washing out those gross containers. Just two but still gross. Why won't I learn that the longer I put it off, the grosser they'll get? I usually wash them out fast but if I let them go, I tend to ignore them longer. ugh Good luck, Jilly. Check back with us to let us know how you did.

Post office - done. That took about seven minutes - easy. Nice thing about small towns are small post offices.
Lori, good plan to have your daughter do the gross dishes for you! hehe
Tonite I would like to: mail the trainees, graduate a few trainees, open mail, listen to voice messages, do a few work/writing things, use the back massager, exfoliate, work out and meditate, plan the week, put vitamins in my med container, scrub the toilet, wash a few more dishes, and answer a bunch of emails.

I love Disneyland also! Even just hanging at Downtown Disney is fun. And I am a huge fan of Nathan Fillion. Dan and I are going to DL Castle from the beginning and watch it together, when we get to Oklahoma. I love eggplant parmesan! I like anything served parmesan, actually. So, my day. I got a late start. I did some reading, answered some emails and took a nice long walk through an area of town i had not explored before. I need to make sure I get out and walk as often as possible - it is so good for my mental state. Then I came back here and worked on some chat software with Lisa, and worked up a possible retreat schedule. With the rest of my evening I would like to meditate, clean the floors in here, do legs up the wall yoga, try crow pose, go fill up one of my water jugs, answer posts in the forums here, put my dry dishes away, work on romance class and post for my facebook clients. Tomorrow I am thinking: bring the rest of the stuff in from the house kitchen to Serenity, work with the trainees, call and cancel my water and sewer connections, work on romance class, do facebook clients, switch out the electric cords for the space heater and router, and call my old cable company to pick up their modem. Oh and i have a manager chat to attend. I did finish sorting through my books in here - that felt good. I am very pleased with how it worked out. I still have to find that RV receipt.

What I did today - worked on san diego gathering hotel price comparisons, posting in the forums, looked up housing assistance websites, responded to some emails and cleaned out the bad food from the fridge.
Want to do tonite: a short meditation, work out, pick a new series to watch on Hulu, repost a PBS book, return some trainee emails, look at launch sites, send editor lagging notes, and read through some new applications.

I am using my timer today to knock off small things. I am trying to unpack from my trip, clean things in the RV, take care of my health (vitamins, exfoliate, yoga toes, meditate, do yoga, workout, floss), organize my taxes, plan fixing my cottage, plan getting my low income paperwork filled out, contact my case manager...ok. This is getting chaotic. I think I need to try this again. Deep breath!

Am exhausted. Whew. So I did most of my urgent trainee/ed help emails (friendly ones are just backburnered!) - I hope I hit everything crucial. I got through all the lagging editor emails too.I did a lot of trainee work but simply have a TON more to go - many emails to send and site reviews to conduct. I still need to post a blogs article and vine review (can hopefully do a two for one with this). So tomorrow - - call catholic charities for possible therapy appt - call mission number for vision clinic - do more trainee site reviews - yoga class at 5:30 - FB clients - take vitamins -yoga toes - do crow pose - post books on pbs - exfoliate - floss - write blogs article - post vine review - wash five dishes - soak five more dishes - mop floor - work on more iphone notes - work more on address book - fill out form for free weatherization - call rv park for receipt/fax - fill out Hope Application for dog I realize this is looking very optimistic for tomorrow. lol. I will prioritize as I go. Getting through the trainees and making some of those phone calls are the most important things. And the yoga class.

Okees, I dumped and cleaned the cat litter box and took the garbage out to my car for my next trip out. I also gave the cats some play time, carried stuff from the couch pile to the official stockpile area, and did a quick floor sweeping.
Right now am working on the RC website and writing in forums.
On my next break I will gather up the plastic recycling and put in the car, move more stuff to the actual stockpile area, transfer the cat food to the proper dish and bins, wash dishes, make bread pudding, update meetup location, collect laundry.

Much done! I cleaned up the Romance Class work, put my Flight Plan to use, decluttered more papers, dropped off scrap steel for cash, met with my case manager, did press release work, posted in the forums, gave meds to cats, dropped off trash and plastic recycling, dropped off some bills, and did some quick house cleaning of various surfaces. Looks and smells pretty good.
Now I need to add things to my calendar, do some editor help work, and give notes to Lisa on one of her novels. Also want to do a few sun salutations, as a gift to myself.
Tomorrow I have some cats to spay and maybe a date.
