Check Marks

My brother says I need a clipboard, and maybe he's right. I am a maker of to-do lists. But I think I make the lists only because of the intense satisfaction of getting to check off the things I've done. The first thing on my list is always "make to-do list"; it's good to start things off well. I am always grateful to have a day (or two) to stay at home and take care of things around the house, particularly on weeks like this, when the work seems to grow exponentially.
