Winter Break

[game_byrd]

I have spent nearly the whole day lounging around, doing jack, nursing a headache and feeling lazy. (Well, I did clean up the mess of wrapping paper, sort the kid's stuff, put away my gifts, cooked and cleaned up after a couple meals, etc., but mostly I've laid around surfing Tumblr and reading fanfic.) I've caught myself in that weird standby loop where I've surfed everything I wanted to surf and am now waiting for updates (MBU? No? Okay, then has someone posted a comment to my secret santa story? No? Bogus. What about Facebook? Has anyone posted anything new there? Oh, nothing worth looking at. That's too bad. How about Tumblr? Not especially. They haven't posted the secret santa present I'm supposed to get, either. Huh. Okay, well, has anyone sent me an email, maybe MBU? Still no? Dang. Then what about commenting on the secret santa story? - see my point?)

I'm done with that and ready to move on to getting shit done. So here's a list of stuff I wrote down last week that I thought I needed to get done over the break:

• See the Hobbit movie
• Open mat Brazilian jujitsu Friday and Saturday (12/26 & 12/27)
• Edit MBU chapters (2 left!)
• Fix that MBU chapter with duplicate section
• Top off stored lunches
• Polish shoes
• Cut Jacob’s hair
• Write out basic BJJ drill list (bars, submissions, guard passes, positions, transitions)
• Practice the above with one or more of my spawn
• Shuck pecans
• Laundry
• Buy dremel or offset drill
• Cut hole in bathroom cabinet for laundry chute
• Install laundry chute
• Take big computer in for upgrade and reset
• Reinstall and set up big computer
• Rewatch Heroes
• Install garage shelving and rearrange garage
• Bake remaining sweet potatoes, including the ones my mother has, and pack for meals
• Take kids rabbit hunting
• Get my daughter's Nook so it can make Google Voice phone calls
• Upload music files and some audiobooks to her Nook

So, let's see what I can get done!
