Crossing Things Off of My List!

April 16th, 2012 at 08:02 pm

I'm trying to cross things off my list today!

1. I made some phone calls to change appointments.

2. I ran. Only 2 1/2 miles this morning, but I may go again tonight. I've been following the Boston Marathon and my friend who is running. I heard the weather was pretty hot, and was worrying about her... but she finished! So fast-- just over 4 hours!

3. I made a THIRD phone call to a professional organization to cancel a membership option and get a refund. Third call! So frustrating... but this time I got a confirmation email, so I'm going to hope that the $60 refund hits my account in the next day or two.

Still to do:
1. Go buy a few packs of seeds for the garden, and perhaps two more tomato plants. I'll go to the dollar store first, because I've found seeds there before... five packs for a dollar. If no deal, I'll just go to the local garden store. I got my plant tower set up with the terra cotta pots (I bought one, and scrounged the rest from my own yard and from a neighbor), and I want to plant herbs in it.

2. Pick up The Husband's cleaning. I would love to drop this expense, and I've gone back and forth over the years. But, he has to dress up for work. The dress pants last much longer when professionally cleaned vs. washed in cold water and ironed by me. And the shirts are $1.50 each, so hardly worth my time to iron. Still, it's not something I enjoy paying for.

3. Finish shredding! I've been going through our gigantic filing cabinet with the hope that I can whittle down the contents enough to get rid of it. The filing cabinet lives in the garage, but it's enormous... a behemoth steel tower! I've shredded a ton of things, most ridiculously old... paystubs from 2001, old tax returns, information on a vehicle we no longer own, insurance information from long ago... I'm saving a few select documents, in case we need to document anything, but most of it has become confetti!

    Yay on the clay pots!

    Boo on the cleaning. I go to the dry cleaners about 1 every 20 months. In the past I've used Dryel and stretched the contents over at least a double or triple period that it said (it still worked). But I do not dress up for work and my husband's dress pants/shirts are less expensive high wear types that I launder and iron.

    I went to a garden brunch this past weekend where we did a plant/seed swap. I brought a jade cutting from my big yard ones, and took two lavendar starters plus 1 basil starter plus one hot chili pepper starter.

    Don't forget to let some of your veges and flowers go to seed and harvest them for next year. I did this with sunflower and got several years fun from that!

    Great job on the shredding of those very old documents! You might consider scanning some of the documents you think you want to save, but might not need originals for.
