It was a poor start to the weekend. Not only am I feeling groggy, but having slept away a significant chunk of this day, there&#8217;s less weekend left to enjoy. It&#8217;s already well after noon, and I&#8217;m only just starting to think about what I might like to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s a list of things I <em>should<\/em> do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Set up my new office air purifier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roast chestnuts. I already printed out my &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/?p=13451\">recipe<\/a>&#8221; and bought some chestnuts, as well as a proper chestnut knife. There is nothing to stop me except perhaps the chestnuts themselves, which are a couple of weeks old now, and it&#8217;s possible they&#8217;ve gotten moldy. (Please don&#8217;t be moldy, chestnuts!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake a pie. I picked up some Wolf River apples yesterday. Though I immediately joked with my husband about them being &#8220;sacrificial apples,&#8221; because far too often we buy things and then neglect to use them in time, I have high hopes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Write some blog posts. If you are reading this post, that means I&#8217;ve already written at least one. Success!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listen to my overdue library CDs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read some of my overdue library books.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go through the stack of papers on my desk. Really, I need to do this. The stack is getting ridiculously disorganized and precarious, and it contains things that actually need to be taken care of.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laundry. I always need to do laundry. Sometimes there is more laundry, sometimes less. Now is a &#8220;more laundry&#8221; time, and I&#8217;ll only be making my own life harder if I don&#8217;t tackle the problem now.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assorted cleaning tasks. I won&#8217;t bore you with the details. Suffice it to say that the house is a mess. If I can make at least one area less messy, hooray.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay the credit cards. I ought already to have done this. Naughty me.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally have my celebratory birthday dinner. I wanted to go to my favorite Mexican restaurant for my birthday, but there was some reason we couldn&#8217;t go, so my hubby promised me that we&#8217;d go later. Enough time has since passed that we&#8217;re in danger of forgetting not only the reason why we didn&#8217;t go before, but also to go at all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take a nice, long walk. I didn&#8217;t need to include this item on this list, because walking is a daily goal. I just wanted the list to end on an even number. \ud83d\ude1b<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I woke up late today. It was a poor start to the weekend.
