My plan was to sleep whenever the kids would allow it. (To save some money, the kids are home more from now through August -- they'll be in school MWF, but are home TTh as well as the weekend.) Sleeping all day sounds nice. But of course, the truth is that I'm not really on vacation -- the frenetic breakneck dash of the last few months is finally over, and we have some breathing space, but there's still a tremendous backlog of all the non-urgent things. Plus still a few mildly urgent things. So you'll likely see the to-do list reappearing off and on for a bit.
Still, I do plan to sleep a fair bit the next month. And chat with you! :-)
To-do:
- take vitamin D (every Monday now -- apparently, I was deficient) -- DONE
- start carb counting and exercise again: goal -- get back to pre-move weight / shape at least (note: I'm not doing Atkins; aiming for more like 70-80 g. of carbs a day; a half c. of cooked rice is 22 carbs, for example; I had that with a good amount of grilled chicken and scrambled eggs this morning, and feel nicely full -- if that doesn't seem effective, next week, I'll cut back to 60-70 g.) -- DONE (well, started anyway)
- pick up paint samples -- DONE
- schedule closet org. mtg. for master closet -- DONE
- ask cabinet-maker re: kitchen shelves -- DONE
- e-mail zinc guy re: countertop -- DONE
- do dishes -- DONE
- schedule service for broken dishwasher -- DONE
- finalize exterior paint colors so they can paint this week, hopefully -- the weather is finally dry enough, I think
- call doctor re: surgery scheduling
- buy king-size sheets for new bed
- various car errands (Home Depot, extra hardware return, pick-up dry cleaning, drop off Goodwill, etc.)

- do something fun with Kev one afternoon this week while kids are in school -- go see movie? play board game?
- get pedicure this week (spring!)
- Friday: try again to pick up roses, herbs, perennials
