Weekend to do's

I'm on vacation on Wednesday, and I'll be leaving to my grandparents on the second day of my vacation, so I have a coulple thing to do before then. This weekend I want to...

• plan menus, write down grocery shopping list, go grocery shopping
• tidy up house (especially kitchen... eeeeek!)
• clean house (my cleaning lady is in vacation for THREE WHOLE WEEKS... I won't survive!): dust everywhere, clean kitchen, vacuum everywhere
• check my train schedule and maybe order the tickets
• take pix for work on Sunday morning
• get my e-mail inbox back to zero (starting at 15) and maintain 7 messages read + a couple others done
• get my RSS reader back to zero unread (starting at 15) and maintain
• 2x15 minutes digi cleaning
• clean RSS reader: get rid of useless feeds, sort the not-so-great ones, bookmark useful posts
• 2x15 minutes health PPW
• 2x15 minutes on my "to do someday" pile

Mmm, I think that's it for now... Now off to start this day!

2 hours, 8 minutes and 11 seconds

That's the time I spent on the phone with my mom. Thank goodness for free phone! And for wireless phones: I was able to unload the washing machine, load the dishwasher and walk around the whole house picking up stuff during that time. Ah!

That's a new record so I just wanted to share... You can get back to your normal life, now! ;)

Good news... and some bad too!

Bad news first: I had the blood test today that confirmed that I'm not pregnant. I already knew it so it wasn't too painful.

Good... well, rather GREAT news is that I'm below 90 kg for the first time in... more than a year! Actually, I passed that line a couple times but only when I was sick with stomach flu... not the most fun and healthiest way to pass that mark, uh? Nope, this time it's my "normal" weight, I didn't do anything special. What's even better is that I was below 90 kg for TWO days in a row, including this morning after a big restaurant dinner yesterday! I feel really excited and proud and energized again. I'm really motivated again to be serious about my diet and exercise and be healthier when we start the IVF procedures in a couple months. Can't wait to "just" be overweight. 3 more kg to lose and I won't be obese anymore! Woohooo!

Weekend to do's

My dad and his girlfriend are coming on Sunday, I can't wait! I haven't seen them since april I think, it's been a long time! So, in order to enjoy their visit fully, I need to have everything else done by Sunday early afternoon, which is:

• plan menus and write down grocery shopping list
• go grocery shopping and bring to my friend Danielle the stuff I bought for her (she has her birthday tomorrow and she's working today so she can't go shopping)
• daily routines (especially washing dishes after each meal!) done on Sat
• file (empty my "to file" box)
• 2x15 minutes on my "to do someday" pile
• 2x15 minutes on health PPW
• 2x15 minutes on other PPW
• finish to tag all digiscrap files I'm done!! Woohooo! Now I just have to unzip about a gazillion files and declutter all the "not so great but might be useful" files (yes, I'm a digital packrat!), and I'll be up to date... Whoopeedoo... LOL!
• 1 or 2 loads of laundry + put away the remaining basket
• iron every time I'm watching TV done on Sat
• fill up food journal on Sunday
• change cat litter
• change beddings
• pampering time
• maintain e-mail and RSS reader and check sites at least once a day
• unload dishwasher and fill up salt
• pick up house before my dad arrives

Crappy day

Looks like our third (and last) IUI didn't work. I'm feeling really sad and hopeless today. We'll start the IVF procedures this fall, but right now I'm so tired of all this stuff that I don't even look for it. Ugh!

5 days

Yep, I'm having 5 whole free days... with only taking 2 days off work: today is Bastille Day, so it's off anyway, I took off Thursday and Friday, and then there's the weekend... Ain't that great? That's what I call "efficiency"! LOL

Talking about efficiency, I really need to get back on track with about a gazillion things, so here's my plan of attack:

• wed am: go to the office to put the camera back and send e-mail to journalist
• clean e-mail inbox and maintain
• clean RSS reader and maintain
• catch up on TDC and SSD
• catch up on PPW, including health PPW
• plan next week's menus and write down grocery shopping list and go shopping
• shop, either online or in Strasbourg (I don't like shopping but it's sales time and I desperately need some new clothes, at least 2 skirts, 1 pants I even got 2, a couple tops and new summer shoes)
• scrap and relax
• catch up housekeeping: bedroom,office, laundry, ironing

That's it for now, pretty good already, uh? LOL Off to take a shower and go to the office!
