To Do Tuesday 9-7-10

Lots to do this week...

• Go shopping for work clothes. YAY! New job means new wardrobe. Hopefully some friends will be helping me out with this because I have not worked in an office in about 4 years and have no idea what to wear. 
• Get Jazzy comfortable being in her crate for a few hours at a time because Lord Hill and I go back to work on the same day. This will be tough. 
• Clean a section of the apartment perfectly so that if the crate training doesn't work out we can leave her gated in a section so she can be safe and not find weird things to eat. 
• Teach Jazzy to walk comfortably on a loose leash. 
• Clean the outside of the kitchen cabinets.
• Clean the ceiling fan in the kitchen.
• Clean out the fridge/freezer.
• Scrub the kitchen counter tops
• Sweep and mop the kitchen.

To Do Tuesday 08-3-10

As you may have read in this post I will be out of a job in September. This came as a big surprise and has required some reorganization of my priorities. This week's to do list will be more about keeping my sanity than keeping my apartment clean. Thank you to those of you who have emailed and tweeted and blogged your support. I really appreciate it.

1. Stay Calm. You still have a job for the next month, unemployment will kick in after that, and everything will be okay.
2. Have faith and trust that everything will be okay. It might be hard, it might be scary, but in the end it will be okay. Let God take the wheel on this one. Read Footprints often, pray, and be thankful for the things you do have instead of upset about the things you don't.
3. Rewrite your resume and send it to everyone under the sun. 
4. Create. Use this negative energy and turn it into something positive. Make jewelry, take photos, open an etsy shop.
5. Lean on friends and family. They care about you and are here for you.
6. Try not to take out the frustrations and anger on Lord Hill. Just b/c he works for the same company does not mean he IS the company. We need his paycheck now more than ever. 
7. Remind yourself that you did nothing wrong. Your boss will write a letter of recommendation, you were not fired due to poor performance. This was a relocation thing more than anything else. You have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. 
8. Write. blog. Focus on the things you love
9. Don't forget to throw Tango a birthday party. 
10. RELAX. 

Have you ever been laid off or lost a job due to no fault of your own? How did you cope? Were you angry? Do you have any tips to help me through this?

Wednesday Already?!?

Let's go back in time for a bit...

• mop kitchen
• mop bathroom
• mop office
• Clean bathroom - sink, toilet, window, mirror
• Garbage goes out Monday
• Litter Box gets done on Tuesday
• dust all decorative items in living room
• clean the molding/baseboards, tops of pictures and shelves in living room
• pack for this weekend
• clean desk
• bundle up old newspapers/mail/magazines/papers
• Garbage and Recycling goes out on Weds
• Change fish tank water
• vacuum living room

Okay, now let's come back to the present...

Today I did a major water change in the Freds' tank. I took out over 12 gallons of water and added in another 12. That might not seem like much work, but the fish tank is 2 rooms away from the kitchen and I only have 2 buckets to work with. One is a 4 gallon that I use to take the dirty water out of the tank, and one is a 2 gallon that I use to put clean water back in. That's a lot of back and forth!
Especially when you consider the fact that 1 Gallons [US] = 8.3452641093 Pounds
That means I lifted and carried over 200lbs!

I am going to have some nice looking arms in a few weeks if this keeps up!

I also ran around outside with Tango for a bit this morning. That was fun and Tango really seemed to enjoy that I was running around too instead of sitting on the steps watching him like I usually do.

Tango is starting to get fat. This is bad. He is a rescue dog and when we got him he was super skinny so on one hand it is nice to see him looking healthy, since he's not actually FAT yet but on the other hand I do not want him to have any of the health issues associated with overweight dogs. It looks like it's time to start bringing back our daily walks instead of just playing in the yard.

What's on your to do list? What kind of workouts have you done this week?

To Do Tuesday

TRY NOT TO MELT!

This is with the AC on full blast and was taken earlier. It's now actually reading 93

I loathe heat waves.

To Do Tuesday 06-29-10

I decided to spice things up and try to do my To Do Tuesday post a little differently. I make all of my to do lists on a calendar in my control journal, so instead of making it a regular list here I thought I'd just post my calendar. Tell me what you think about the new format. If you hate it/love it..it's hard to read/whatever... I want feedback!

First thing's first... This is my control journal. It has my calendar for the week on one side and a calendar that just goes from 1-31 on the other side that has birthdays/bill/special events filled in with pencil. 

Close up of the calendar! Notice the bottom has my menu on it as well.
