My List

This is my actual list.

I make a list because i don't remember much these days.

I make a list because it's the only way to organize my thoughts.

I crossed off three today. I'll take it.

I could have done more on a different day. But today I'll take three.

I negotiate with my list; What is realistic? Which ones are convenient? How long will it take? Which ones can wait?

My red needle is on E. The fuel light is on and i am bargaining. I wanted to take a shower - that eliminated 2-3 on the list.

I need to unpack and clean my home - another 4 maybe. But the sad thing is i know my laundry will still be there when i head to sleep tonight.

This list is my guideline. My slow accomplishments for the week.

I make a list because even with my best intentions i won't complete all of them.

But i try.
