Checklist: The only way to get over a cold

Tweet

I am well organized efficient and effective. That's what I tell the drunk monkey each day when I get out of bed. It works too. Well that and checklists. That's right people I am a checklist kind of gal. I have a checklist for everything. Sticky notes are my friends and I still use the old school day planner. The little stripey thing in the corner... my office dog. Always at my feet.  Yes, even a checklist for weekly house cleaning First it keeps me in check. Ha. I know where my day is going and what I have to accomplish. It also feels so great when I can check something off my list. Needless to say I am pretty organized except for the basement which we have already discussed. When things are not efficient it drives me crazy, I usually do one of two things when this happens. I either command control, do it myself (not always the best route. It tends to hurt others feelings). Or I do nothing. Maybe that is why the basement is the way it is. I have no control over other peoples garbage in my basement... Random Lists I use on a Daily Basis Today however has found me not so efficient. I am sick!!! This rarely happens. Last night while checking off the last thing to do for the day, I got a horrible sore throat. Out of nowhere. I thought. Must be allergies, to come on so sudden. Got a throat lozenge and finished my to do's. It got worse. I took some Nyquil and off to bed I went. I woke up in the middle of the night with a screaming, red sore throat. What is a girl to do? That's right. I started a checklist. It goes a little something like this. Vitamins Good Tunes Water 10 minute pick up of the house ( I can't rest in this mess. Anyone else like that?) Coffee 1 load of laundry Make 5 phone calls to make sure this closing is on track Email the Negotiator TheraFlu Report Green Tree Lending for predatory lending (yeah, I am going to do this. They are ridiculous. Stay away from them at all costs) Hot  Peppermint Tea with Milk and Honey Orange Juice Over Ice Nap Sprite Fold laundry Chicken Soup in a cup with Synthetic Croutons Box of Tissues Symphony Bar Chocolate Chip Cookies (don't judge, I like junk when I am sick) Wish I could find Candy Corn Hershey kisses Lots of chick flicks on Netflix Nap Kick this by 3:00 so we can do homework and I can make it to my 6:00 appointment Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Hot Bath Lemon, Honey and Bourbon To Bed Early I  am telling you. I WILL make it to my 6:00 tonight. This checklist is going to work and I am going to be myself by the end of this day! Maybe that's why I like Pinterest so much... lots of "lists"
