The big tick

Today was one of those days that are few and far between. The type of day where I got to tick more items off my big list of things to do, than I added to it.

Yep. A net loss. Or gain. It depends on whether you’re my free time or my workload.

I can’t reveal what those items were, of course. They’re heavily guarded secrets that my workplace would kill to protect.

Hah! Good one.

Truth is, I can’t reveal them because you’re probably already half asleep and you might hurt yourself or your laptop if I push you over the edge.

Today was the kind of day that I prepare to-do lists for. Most of the time I’m disappointed, and often I’m left wondering if I should just let demands pile up haphazardly while I get on with whatever-the-hell-I-like, but this makes it all worthwhile.

I got stuff done.

And if anyone questions my statement, I can point to the writing on the list that shows where the stuff used to be and where it now isn’t by virtue of a horizontal (-ish) line.

Who am I kidding? No one’s going to question me. Sigh.

Back to the still-to-do part of my to-do list.
