Okay, not a bucket list. Just stuff I’d like to do nowabouts.
- Read Our Bodies, Our Selves, Of Human Bondage and the Woodstock Craftsman’s Manual–all books that are sitting on my shelf but that I haven’t read.
- Submit a piece of writing for publication.
- Clear the too-small and never-worn clothing out of the family’s closets and DONATE it.
- Repair all of the damaged books and toys the girls have given me to fix.
- Finish the sofa cover I started last summer.
- Hem the tablecloth I started at the same time.
- Redesign and add lining to my black winter coat.
- Cut and style my hair.
- Send (on time) the gift I bought for my sister’s family.
- Apply to and start grad school.
- Mop the house.
- Read Julia Child’s autobiography.
Kind of an odd mix of short-term and long-term goals, but whatever. These are the ideas that have been preying on my mind. How long will they take?
