Ten Things Tuesday

The “I’m Uninspired” Edition.

Usually, I’m pretty good at coming up with Ten Things Tuesday fodder.  Today?  Not so much, so I sent off an email to Kizz for help, and she encouraged me to embrace my uninspiredness (it is TOO a word!).  I like that – I’ve been trying to move toward acceptance of where I am in the moment, and at this moment, I’m less than jazzed to do Ten Things Tuesday.  Here, then, are ten things I’m going to do today INSTEAD of trying to think of good Ten Things Tuesday topics:

1.  Tidy my desk and clean out my briefcase.

2.  Drop off a stick-figure yoga lesson to Sara so she can start working on her own practice ahead of our next lesson on Thursday.

3. Empty the dishwasher, switch laundry, and scoop the cat box.

4.  Teach a yoga class at Local University (and hope to the goddesses that I get a parking spot.  I started asking them for one last night; let’s see if they come through).

5.  Meet Xena, and possibly O’Mama, for lunch.

6.  Go to the dreaded Mega Mart of Evil and buy more cat food and cat litter – though I’ll have to find a stockboy to lug it off the shelves for me because I buy the biggest containers I can and I’m still gun shy about my back.  Nothing would piss me off more than hurting myself in the pet car aisle at the Mega Mart of Evil.

7.   I’ve got a little paperwork to do – some bills to pay and a few bank statements to enter – though I’m less inspired to do that than I am to do Ten Things Tuesday, so we’ll see how that goes.

8.  I’m meeting with some of my composition class tomorrow afternoon – they’re totally freaking out because we’ve only met twice this semester and they’re doing a lot of work on their own, so I promised to set aside some time for them.  I want to have some practice work ready for those who show up (IF anyone shows up), so I’ll go through my filing cabinet this afternoon before the girls get home from school and see if I can find some of my more useful exercises.

9.  I’m going to think about the third mind, Mississippi Burning, Grammar Wednesday, and my resume, but thinking is likely all I’ll do.

10.  I’m taking Beanie to her follow-up with her endocrinologist this evening – our appointment is at 6:30 an hour away.  We’ll have a quick and early dinner, the two of us, then head out while Daddy stays home with Punkin’ Pie to drag her through help her finish her project on the Aswan Dam in Egypt.

OOoooh!  Inspiration just hit me!  Here are ten words that I’d like to hear the endocrinologist say tonight:

“You were right, Mom.  Nothing’s wrong with her.  Bye, now!”
