Did you ever have one of those days?

My husband went to work today and I figured I would get so much done. At least my mind was planning on it.
I want to clean the house as I don't like doing it when he is home. I like to go at my own pace and not have to stop and talk. So far, I only got half of the house done as I keep stopping to look at things or rearrange things.
Hopefully I will get done before he returns. If not, no big deal I guess as there is always tomorrow.

I like to get work done when no one else is around as well. It makes it much easier, and like you said, there's no reason to stop and chat.
I also like to play music or let a t.v. show play in the background. It makes the work go by that much faster.
I hope you do get the work done tonight so that tomorrow you can rest.

I had the tv on all day with the Nascar race and I had to keep stopping to watch it. All my favorite drivers were winning.

@ramapo17 I haven't watched Nascar in many many years. It can be very addicting to watch.

@ScribbledAdNauseum We we're very involved in it before moving to Florida. We use to live in the Poconos and did volunteer work at the track
We met so many great people there including some drivers

I always have lots of plans in my head but couldn't seem to do it. So I would right those plans down and make sure I do them.

@ramapo17 I make sure I do because I only make shorts lists and only for a day.

@toniganzon That is a smart way to do it. At least when you finish what you put on the list you must feel like you accomplished everything.

@Courtlynn Thank you very much. It is really so weird as I will be 76 but I still feel like a lot younger and especially after talking to my friend last night. We were laughing and silly just like when we were in school.

I usually make a list, but there are days when I get so side tracked attending to things not on the list I hardly accomplish anything on that list. Other times I just am not into doing chores

I too like to do it when he is gone or now that he has retired when he is asleep

I have my own jobs of cleaning to take care of, such as mopping and mowing. I need to do both tomorrow before my ping pong games.

Do you play ping pong every week. Growing up we had a ping pong table and a pool table in the basement. We would have games every night after dinner.

We often get sidetracked from the tasks at hand.

Hi Nancy. Yes, I do. I usually procrastinate after doing some of the work and I need to in full mood to finish the things I need to do.
