Ten and the Trip Prep
Because soon, soon, I will fly away on the wings of an Ezio, off to overwinter in a place of actual winter (though it has been cold here! and there was SNOW on Sunday, at least in some parts of the city). There's an anniversary and three holidays jammed into a fairly small space, though, so it just makes sense. Plus my sister is cooking. I'm not gonna miss it when my sister is cooking, though the cats and I may be under the bed while she's in the process of it.
Which means I need to make to-doom lists for trip prep. All the things to be done before I go, all the things! Packing and sorting items for packing and cleaning and laundry for packing and more cleaning and yes some more cleaning on top of that, probably with some more packing. I've done this trip a couple of times now, so you'd think I'd have it down to something like a science, but no, I'm still introducing variations to check and see how they work.
And on top of this, there's work and a Project Meeting this Saturday. So I gots to put in some time before the weekend sucks up every last bit of it into other things.
I've downloaded an app called ToDoist, because the last productivity app I got (Toggl) actually worked out really well, and my old standby system of "WordPad files with things crossed out" didn't really cut it this summer. I'm a little more skeptical of this one, but hey, whatever I can punch a bunch of things into while I remember them to remember them later, probably a good and workable thing for me. I have in there a few tasks for both major projects. I expect yall, fine people of LJ, are going to be hearing a lot about this this week, until I vanish for a day or so and come back woozy and wintry. Yes, it shall be so...
