To-Do Tuesday

 Last week's list:

• ALL the prep work for a turkey dinner for 15-20 people. With head colds and double shifts, we ended up with 10. Let the left-over eating begin! Well, we did that already.
• Shopping for some of that dinner. I forgot the cornstarch. 
• Not whining about the work it takes to do this. I did not whine. Neither did I do a lot of housework. That is what the cleaning lady does.
• I have a cleaning lady coming in Thurs to do the cleaning so I do not have to do it. Canceled her because one of the girls got sent home from school with a positive covid in her class. She ended up going to mom's for the weekend and miss the dinner but not the leftovers.
• Make sure the clean-up gets done after the party. I just went into the other room and visited with those who had come early and helped with preparations. 
• No stress here since the guests usually roll up their sleeves and clear away everything and wash up the dishes. 
• I could use paper plates like we did for the anniversary. I bought Christmas paper plates but forgot to check to see if we still had plastic forks. Nada. We used stainless.
• Print off all the rest of the invoices in my inbox for the bookkeeper.  We are doing taxes after Christmas. Nope. Not one.
• Remember to do a blog post every day. Done.
• I am scheduling posts so should have that under control. Am writing them up daily now.
• Virtual Writing Retreat Friday before the dinner. I could write up blog posts since I can write on whichever project I want. I did not log in but read another Elm Creek Novel.
• Finish cutting out the rest of the fabrics for the Macaron Mystery. I cut out the focus fabric squares and put everything away for now to make room for people. 
• Do 15 minutes of stitching each day. You know that is not likely. I did manage this twice.

This weeks list:

1. Daily blog posts
2. Morning Pages
3. Print off invoices
4. Pay CPP and WSIB
5. Cut more pieces for the Macaron Mystery. 
6. Stitch 15 Minutes a day.
7. Make turkey soup. 
8. Buy some more vegetables for the soup. 
9. Freeze the extra soup. 
10. Get a pedicure. Made an appointment for tomorrow. 
11. Attend the boys' Christmas presentation.
12. Sleepover at the boys' house. 

That should be enough accountability for this week. I do meet with two accountability partners every Wed for my online writing group. My goal, for now, is daily blog posts.
