Tooooo Much

For practically my entire life, I have been told that I am doing toooooo many things at the same time. Just made the connection between toooo much stuff and doing toooo much. (Don't worry, am done with the toooooooooo)
My sister - and others - encouraged me to write a complete list of everything I do in a day. And I finally did. I noticed that there were only a few items on the list - things like, do wash, see Dad, and the page was mostly empty. Then I began penning in the other items - prepare food for Stan's breakfast, lunch and dinner, look at his feet, write this blog, and before I knew it, the page, which was almost blank to start, was so full that I could no longer read the 'to do's' anymore.
It reminded me of my driveway and house clutter - condensed to one page. No wonder I am a bit tired! Maybe, here is the reason. Toooooo much at once (sorry, couldn't help myself)
So, today, I am going to......take a day off. I am going to relax a bit, take a swim, jacuzzi, maybe even, dare I say it? See a movie?
Of course, when I go to the movie, I will probably shop at the 99cent store, because it is near the theater, but I will not rush. And maybe when I take a swim, will do a load of wash while I'm soaking, so, it is maybe not a complete vacation. I'll see if I can wean myself from this mental clutter of needing to do, okay, can't resist, sorry, toooooo much. Am not sure how to take a picture of it, though!
