it wasn't even on the list

i start every day (often before i get out of bed) with a mental list of what i want to accomplish that day. because i'm self-employed (with my spinning and knitting), the list almost always is heavily weighted in the yarn category. there are also "must do" errands and at the very bottom, household chores. if by the end of the day the list is shorter, not longer (i'm always adding on) i feel i've accomplished my goals.
yesterday, at breakfast, i spilled some coffee on the kitchen floor and in wiping it up i no longer could ignore how much the floor needed to be washed. so i washed the kitchen floor. and because the day was sunny but cool with a light breeze i knew it was the perfect day for washing all the windows (keith was home so he could do the outside ones on a ladder). and wash the curtains. and hang them on the line. so by late evening it was done. and i can look out of the window of my studio without having to look past the dirt first. but today's list is particularly long...
