Odd Jobs

I’ve got two days off before I start this new job, so it’s time to get down to some odd jobs. I like making a list. I also know that in making the list I won’t get through half of these things, but it’s nice to set the intentions. 

Anyway, here is my list of things I would like to get done before I start my new job on Wednesday.
  1. Find the couch
Everything gets put on my couch. It’s a bit like a tardis, you never know what you’re gonna find on there. I’m missing a pair of headphones that I would really like to find again. And put a few things away. And maybe throw a few things away. Regardless, I need to go over the content of my couch, and what’s under it. That’s just as much of a minefield as well. 

2. The floors

I hoover the floors once a week. I’m up once a fortnight. I know it should be more. I will feel better if I do the floors. I hate doing the floors, still I have the time to do them.

3. A clothes cull

There is no room in my chest of drawers. Time to make some space. Even if I go through just one or two drawers, it will be an improvement.

4. Drop off towels and blankets at The List Dog’s Home

I’ve been meaning to do this for months, and now I have the time. I wish I could go in and get a cuddle with one of the puppies, but that’s probably not gonna happen. I would take home all the puppies. We know this so it’s probably best not to chance fate. Lucifer wouldn’t like a puppy. 

5. Meet a friend for lunch on Tuesday

She’s down from Darwin, it will be fantastic to see her.

6. Go to the physio tomorrow

Intermittent knee pain needs to be investigated. I’m glad I’ve got the time to do it. I’m trying to be proactive with minor injuries at the moment. I’m sick of being injured.

So, along with everything else, I think that’s enough. I’m also getting back into knitting again and would like to finish my big scarf in the next month or so. I’ve always wanted a Doctor Who scarf. I’ll have one soon.
