A Productive Weekend

For the second weekend in a row, I have had what I would call a productive weekend, accomplishing extra tasks, and feeling good about what I have done.  Even on the weekends, I used to be one of the most goal driven people I know, but the last few years, I have not done that.  For many reasons, including, I am sure, a touch of depression.  Not that I sit and do nothing, but I am more interested in reading than doing active chores.

Last weekend, while right now I could not tell you all I did, I know I had list of a lot of chores and accomplished most of them, except bringing things to the recycling center. This weekend, I had a mental list of chores, and I did get them all done.  It started with leaving work after I had my time in on Friday afternoon, instead of staying until 5 PM, or later, as is often my habit.

Since I left work early, I decided to do my Saturday morning shopping on Friday afternoon, which I did last weekend, too because I went into work on Saturday morning on April 27, 2013, just for a couple of hours.  Also, this Friday, I made that much delayed trip to the recycling center!

So, Saturday morning, I could not sleep, got up at 4:30 AM, and read until time to feed the girls.  I did my household chores, then got cleaned up and went to the John Paul II exhibit.  I spent two hours there, mostly because I watched the one hour video as well as took my time going through the exhibits.

After that, I ran some more errands.  My timing was good, and I was able to do some yard work that I really wanted to do before the Rangers vs. Red Sox game came on TV.  

Sunday morning, I did my usual Sunday morning routine, which includes news and "Texas Country Reporter, " as well as an expanded set of computer word games and a trivia game. (I do a limited set of computer word games and Sudoku every day.)  I did some yard work, got cleaned up and watch the Rangers vs. Red Sox again.  The game ran long, but I still ran errands as I had planned, this afternoon. And, I did some more yard work before I sat down to read. 

I had meant to call a friend, but she lives in the Eastern Time Zone, and by the time I cleaned up from doing yard work, and ate dinner it was 8 PM, 9 PM her time, and I hesitate to call that late.

The problem is, last week, I was physically very tired all week.  I hope I am not physically tired this week.  I think the reason I have become more sedate in my activity was I needed more and more time to recharge my physical battery to be able to deal with work.   So, we shall see how I do this week.
