If there were more hours in the day

Today, for the first time in ages, we got a nice cool day (max 26 degrees) AND I was able to take the day off work. Woohoo! It was going to be a massive extravaganza of gardening productivity! Sensibly I didn't tell anyone that, because a) the weather forecast would have changed to 40 degrees, and b) I know myself well enough to know that it wasn't actually going to be *that* productive.

So..

• My car got serviced (see earlier rant about appalling comment from the Assistant Service Manager)
• attended a one hour webinar called "Managing anxiety - creating calm", which was awesome
• treated all the drains with bokashi juice
• harvested some figs
• emptied the bokashi bucket into the compost tumbler
• gave the vegie bed a little TLC, did some weeding
• did the monthly greywater maintenance
• fed the worms

Wow.. it actually looks like quite a lot when you list it out like that. I felt like I should've done more gardening, but it was still very sunny outside despite the mild temperature - in the afternoon I came inside and finally watched Razzle Dazzle.

Anyway, that's not that interesting - but thinking about what I wanted to get done, got me thinking about what I would like to do each day, in an ideal world.

1. 20 - 40 minutes of meditation
2. Some reading
3. Something productive in the garden
4. Something off the chore list
5. Something productive for my One Big Chore (currently job application - later will be house planning)
6. Some Wii Yoga
7. A nice walk with the dog
8. A quick once-over tidy up of the house
9. 10 or 11 hours of sleep

And that list suddenly looks quite small now that I write it out! A bit of a struggle to fit all that around a full day at work, though. I did catch the train for the first time in ages on Tuesday, and that was fantastic - the exercise, the reading, the complete lack of road rage. Hopefully the weather will stay cool and I'll stay relatively healthy, and I'll be able to keep taking the train to work.
