Week In Review – Not Your Average Bucket List

Saturday
I would love to have a whole weekend off soon.

Sunday
Today I finally got happy about fall.
When I threw a cape over my crappy, worn-out,
mix-matched, around-the-house clothes
so I could go to the grocery store.

Monday
Once again I’m reminded that recipes
work out best for me
when I follow them.

Tuesday
I got my furnace fixed today,
and I quickly realized there is a super fine line between
being too cold in the house to want to do anything
and too warm in the house to want to do anything.

Wednesday
Today I got locked in a bathroom, and the first thing
I thought was that now I can say that’s happened to me!
It’s the kind of comedy you see in movies and tv,
but most people in their whole lives will never
get locked in a bathroom

Thursday
In another tv, movie and YouTube-worthy comedy first,
today I rolled off the back of a treadmill
and found myself on my ass on the floor.
Yes I did.
I dropped my phone on the treadmill, and when
I looked down at it, I just stopped walking…
What a doofus.

Friday
Sometimes I make mistakes,
and by sometimes I mean quite often.
And by quite often, I mean all the time.

Any odd things on your real or imaginary bucket list?

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on being the grown-up

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

When we finally accepted that something was wrong, the best we could figure was that an animal had died in the ducts, or in the crawl space under the house.  It was one of those moments where you want a grown up to show up and deal with the situation… and then you gradually have to accept that that grown up is you.

Week In Review – Habits

Saturday
A good thing about working the late shift
is I can take a nap before work.
I did, and it was delicious.

Sunday
Off today, so I took two naps!
A morning nap and an afternoon nap.
Like a toddler.
Except then I wasn’t sleepy at bedtime,
so I was up half the night.

Monday
Oh my gosh,
I am sooooo tired.

Tuesday
Last night I had very detailed,
very vivid, zombie dreams.
Still not too gory though,
because gross.
I only give myself pg-13 zombie dreams.

Wednesday
For weeks it’s felt like I was missing clothes.
Hm, maybe they’re in that bag in the foyer.
The one I dropped there when I came back from the river.
And then never noticed again.
Literally.
Like it was invisible.

Thursday
I tried to go to work in my slippers today,
but I only got as far as the porch.
This time.

Friday
I’ve watched World War Z almost every day
since I bought it, in part or in full, or
maybe in the background just for noise.
I’ve finally – finally! – switched to something else.
I think.

Do you have any habits that help or hinder you?

Or make you have zombie dreams? 🙂
