To Do Lists

Today I tried to accomplish everything on my "to do" list that has been growing exponentially. There are still a couple of things left to do - but hey! I got much of it done! LOL

I had been to see my pcp earlier this week and she had told me of a place that has water aerobics here, in the area. I called around Oak Ridge first (it would be closer than Clinton or Knoxville) but the only places that have them is a fitness complex and they want huge membership fees, and the local rec center but they only have two classes a week. However, the place Dr. May recommends is Clinton Physical Therapy Center and they have classes all day long and even in the evening and they are run by physical therapists who know the kinds of things that I need to do to strengthen my knees as well as the other things. There is a joining fee of $60 and a monthly fee of $45 but the monthly fee is only for the month that you are using it and you can go to as many classes a week as you want - so with my crazy life - that seems to be the best bet. I won't be starting until I get back with Cherstin (what would be the point?) but I wanted to know what I needed to do so that I would have no excuses when I got home - so one thing checked off my list!

I also contacted the quilt shop that I am doing my Civil War quilt from - it is a block of the month project and I hadn't yet received my block for February. I decided that I needed to contact them just in case they had missed me - they had and so it was a good thing that I called and it and March's block will be coming shortly. Another thing checked off that list!

Mike (my brother) and I have been in frequent contact with one another about Dad. He believes that it is time that we have a sibling meeting to discuss how we can best help Dad. So got my reservation, worked things out so that Desi and the kids can accompany me, and then called Mike to let him know so that he can schedule the meeting. Check #3!

Since I am headed out of town and my knees are hurting sooooo much I decided to call Knoxville Orthopedic to see if they can get me in before I leave. They can! Tomorrow at 9:30! Check #4!

Called Dawn O'Bryant to see if she can play for the choir while I am gone - she can! Check #5!

Called JoanE to see if she can cut and color my hair while I am in Colorado - she's not in - left a message. Check #6!

Took care of a subscription problem with my American Quilting magazine. Check #7!

Got Mordecai his card and money for his birthday and mailed it. Check #8!

Picked up prescriptions from the pharmacy. Check #9!

Called about the bowling alley for Rich - he's taking his deacons bowling on Saturday. Check #10!

Hemmed Gideon's scout pants. Check #11! Now I just have to finish Reah's quilt and mail them!

Wow! Wouldn't it be great if the rest of my list could be done this fast and easily?!
