To Do List with a Cold

Dear Kid,

Wake up
Go back to sleep
Wake up again
Stumble downstairs
Snuggle Puppy
Consider having breakfast
Try to use ESP to get someone to bring me breakfast
Get breakfast myself
Take cold medicine
Stare at the TV while the meds kick in
Stare at the TV some more
Wonder what I’ve been watching on TV
Wonder how people actually have energy today
Consider having lunch – reject the idea as waaay too much work
Decide not to leave the house today
Promise to help Pi make latkes for school
Wonder how to make latkes while sitting on the couch
Watch Bengals football game—be glad I’m watching on TV and not in person
Write to-do list
- 1. Help Pi make latkes to take to school
- 2. Pay Kid’s phone bill
- 3. Continue making some progress cleaning things up
Think about doing things on the to-do list
Wish I could clone myself and have someone else work on that huge to-do list
Try to use ESP to switch places with Booker. Think about getting off the couch to snuggle him. Decide that’s waaay too much effort.
Send Pi to wash potatoes. Rest.
Realize I might have to move at some point. Decide to put that off as long as possible.
Try to use ESP to make a cup of tea. Decide I have absolutely no ESP-like abilities.
Use ESP to cheer for the Bengals’ TD. Decide that really didn’t require ESP.
Think taking a nap. Decide thinking is waaay too much work.
Realize I am a pathetic lump of mom-ness.

Must go save up some energy to help Pi.
