We are in our final weeks of spring. The weather here is predicted to be in the 70's (20's C) for the next week. We haven't had rain in three weeks and even that was just a sprinkling. The grass is starting to brown. I've been watering the newly planted flowers and herbs daily for the last three weeks trying to keep them alive. Yesterday I noticed that 4 plants didn't make it.

  • Exercise
  • Prayer
  • Calendar Review of Appointments/Meetings
  • Reading
  • Writing
Weekly:
  • Dust/Vacuum/Mop
  • Bills
  • Laundry
  • Menu Planning
  • Groceries
  • End of Week Reflection
  • Set Research/Writing Goals
  • Weed Garden
Monthly:

    • Dust the top of the fan.
    • Clean the oven.
    • Clean the microwave.
