The Golden Plan
Today I feel pretty good about everything.
Obviously things could be better:
* The drainage system could be finished.
* The backroom could be close to done (like finished next week, which is not true).
* My goals at work for this quarter could be finished.
* My last pay check could be larger than it was last paycheck (it was smaller).
* I could put more money into slush with the latest paycheck and expected expenses.
* I could have heat in my office.
* The kitchen could be completely clean.
* The Ford Focus needs a lamp replaced in the instrument panel.
* The Mazda needs a high beam headlamp replaced.
* I didn't pay the internet bill last month because they didn't send a paper bill...so I got dinged $25 or so.
So why am I ok with this obvious terrible situation?
I think there are possibilities for resolving all of these eventually...and I feel I can do so!
* I completed a presentation and went through it at work explaining the status of what I am doing. Felt that the presentation was well-done for what it was and I got some good information on what to do next.
* The newel posts are coming next week.
* The finishing carpentry starts on the same day, Wednesday and all the wood should be there for that.
* The plumbing final bit is on Monday.
* Now using a Christmas coffee mug as planned--after finishing the Thanksgiving food completely.
* It is colder with occasional rain but still sunny!
* Rain is not getting into the window cavity in the basement.
* I have been adding more content to my Milton Sills book and there is more to come.
* Video work using the Minolta is a proven concept and can take that ahead.
* We completed seeing all of the Indiana Jones films to this point and will see the last one this Saturday!
* My computer glasses are working well and I can get through the day without struggling.
* I am within reach of the two major goals for this quarter.
* For once I don't feel the necessity of keeping lists to keep straight.
* Our water bill was very low this past cycle.
* We have food in the refrigerator and our cats are their normal selves.
Am I wrong to be optimisitic? Probably. There is bound to be some things I am not thinking about. Yet, I like not being pulled from all directions for once. So I will just take the pause and be happy about it.
We will have a new back room and all of the issues will be dealt with. 35 years to go with better until not...at least! That is the Golden Plan.
