Sunday Reflections: Will I ever learn?

I've spent yet another week feeling sick. That storm did not help things. I've been in and out of consciousness for days. My soggy brains are still thawing out, so, this is just my list of the things I meant to do this past week that I didn't due to my condition. The goal is to complete these things this week:

  1. Reorganize my desk (It's driving me crazy!)
  2. Finish a letter (I started it the first few days of October...)
  3. Send Thank You notes I wrote last month
  4. Write five journal entries for class
  5. Draft a paper
  6. Do something with those birthday cards on the table (It's been over a month... time to let go)
  7. Continue research on women in Okinawa
  8. Respond to some emails
  9. Write more yoga blurbs for work
  10. Consider composition on Thanksgiving letters (as this will be the first Thanksgiving I spend away from home)
  11. Start reading the new Jonathan Safran Foer book (I've had it since Monday... it taunts me)
  12. Bank (Blah)
  13. Pick up package at the rental office (It's been there since Thursday, but the office shut down and I haven't made my way down there yet... we apparently have homemade blankets waiting for us...)
  14. Take my vitamins (I've been saying this for years...)
  15. Watch my current Netflix movie (Doubt)
  16. Have my regular date with Anya
  17. Make bread (Missed my toast this week)
  18. Crack open the winter issue of Parabola
  19. Take a hot yoga class for myself
  20. Plan out my holiday messes (Trying to avoid missing the holidays due to gift production like last year)

How much you want to bet that barely five of these things actually happen this week? I don't know if I'll ever learn. I find so much confidence and hope in making my precious little lists... and watch the days go by as though Life is telling me where I can put that list...
