I managed to drag myself out of bed at a reasonable time. I then proceeded to the couch where I enjoyed some all-natural marshmallow cereal and some quality Flickr time. The boy left for work. Then I made a list. I like lists. Lists help me see what I really have to do. Otherwise my impending tasks and deadlines float around in the mush I call a brain and only sporadically make it to the outside world. So. A list. With little boxes to check off every satisfying task as it was completed. I wrote letters. I prepared my student loan deferment forms. (Ugh.) I wrote postcards. I did laundry and dishes and sweeping and cleaned the fishbowl. I ate lunch. I varnished some moo album tins and varnished them again and soon will go varnish them...you guessed it...again. I processed kitten photos. I changed the ink in my printer. I sat on my couch in front of my front door and breathed in the delightful cool air.

It has been a good day. Now, it's time for asparagus risotto!
