To Do

My to-do list for the day just keeps getting longer and longer. Here's the stuff that has to be done today, in roughly the order I'll get to them:

• Fill in timesheet for yesterday


• Post journal entry (okay, technically optional, but I'm already here, aren't I?)


• Do PMP (mid-year evaluation and "coaching") for my underling


• Write 1-2 pages on the benefits of CMMI for a proposal


• Get next week's menu & shopping list planned and printed (in case I actually get to take my "vacation" tomorrow)


• Find out if I can take my "vacation" tomorrow (It's in quotes because I'm going to be spending it doing manual labor.)


• Office "workout" (knee rehab and light weights) (Yes, this is mandatory. I can actually go down stairs again without clinging to the railing for support or gritting my teeth in pain; I'd like it to stay that way.)


• Host a conference call at 1:30


• Weekly QA status meeting at 3


• Leave office by 3:15 for allergy testing follow-up appt


• Pick up the kids from school no later than 5


• Either: feed Alex or supervise Penny's bath (Matt gets the one I don't do.)


• Either: bathe Alex or make dinner (Again, Matt gets the other one.)


• Wash dishes and make bottles/lunches for tomorrow (Matt usually helps with this)


• Eat dinner


• Calculate and give Penny her insulin dose


• Get the kids put to bed


• Take a shower

And here's some stuff that I really should try to do today:

• Review updated Test Plan


• Review updated Test Procedures


• Go for a walk, preferably before the temp is over 100

And some things that I would like to do today:

• Update the photo album


• Run to Target for diet soda


• Read some of the book club book


• Play some WoW

So, yeah.

(Matt told me this morning that he feels a little weird about leaving the house before 7. On days like today, I get a little anxious if we're still in the house at 7:10.)
