Got up, had my coffee, decided to push my big yoga practice out until this evening thanks to a whopping sinus headache, and realized that since I started work on my room on Friday, the rest of the house has become intolerable. So I decided to skip work on my room today and tidy up everything else. After a quick run to gas up the car and grab some things from the drug store, that is. As I was walking to the car, I realized that I was losing the battle with Didgeridoo Boy over the leaves that had started to cover the stoop, walkway, driveway, and postage stamp of a front yard.
Fueled up my car, dashed through the drug store, and came home. In a cute outfit, full jewelry, and ballet flats, I raked the stoop, walkway, driveway, and postage stamp of a front yard. Then I stationed the rake by the front door, ready for Didge to bag up the two neat piles of leaves I created for him. After that, I cleaned off the back deck and started the housework. I'm taking a break right now, celebrating how much I've been able to get done in so little time, and likewise celebrating the remarkable oomph social media has brought to domestic efficiency.
I've been known to do the same thing with a picture of a large, rolling trash can. Why labor over a honey-do list or look for the sticky notes and a pen that actually writes? Multitask! It'll make you feel that much more productive while you're Facebooking when you really might ought to be putting that slipcover back on the couch and finally running the vacuum.
