Good points, Harriet. I am enjoying watching your planning and thinking how I need to follow suit and get my act together.
Still... so hard, even though we do not have in-home elder care issues.
Recently, for example, this has been the PODA (not counting the M-F 7:30-3:30+ time at school):
Saturday -- college basketball
Sunday -- church, 2-hour afternoon church meeting
Monday -- Wmart, drug store (twice, b/c doctor had not called in rx)
Tuesday -- went to nursing home while ds & friends entertained
Wednesday -- went out to eat w/dh, ds, ddil
Thursday -- drug store, bank, supper @ dinlaws
Friday -- fund-raiser supper
Saturday -- college basketball
Sunday -- church, probably out of town church w/ds & ddil
Monday -- Wmart
Tuesday -- haircut
Now honestly. After spending an hour or so at the bare minimum on these happenings, plus an hour or so on school work, there is just not much time left in my evening to worry about a few dust bunnies or spots on the bathroom floor. I don't like it, I wish my house was perfect all the time, I feel bad that I'm not doing more... but our house looks neat & tidy, generally speaking, all the time. I apparently am the only one who even cares if there are dust bunnies or the toilets need cleaning. So... I will continue to HAVE a plan... but I think I need to try to be a little easier on myself until I retire.
Tomorrow is another day.
