Sayonara, spring break!

I can’t say that this happens regularly, but this Saturday feels like a Sunday.  I’m already dreading the impending return to the grind.  Luckily, it has been a fairly productive day for me.  Sespi and I had a good talk about that earlier…

I’m one of those people who judges my days based on my productivity.  A good day for me balances down time (sleeping in, taking a nap, watching a favorite show, playing on my comp) and getting a lot done.  I was eager for spring break because it meant that I’d have time at home to get something done around the house.  After a full week at work, I don’t tend to make a lot of progress on the weekend, which has been been upsetting lately.  I had co-workers that were heading off to exotic vacations, and as much as I lust for one of those, I hate returning from a vacation and plunging headfirst into work.

So, let me do a feel-good list of all of the things that I’ve accomplished over the break!

• Got my POAs (Power of Attorney for my non-mil folk out there) for DH and Trinnie (she’s my back-up).
• Created a 46+ slide PowerPoint presentation for DH, with step-by-step instructions on how to pay all of our bills.  Yes, he really does need this.
• Created a calendar for DH of all of the approximate bill due dates.
• Revamped the blog.
• Washed my car.
• Vacuumed my car and threw out trash and needless items (like those electronic chargers for items I don’t own anymore).
• Re-organized my dresser drawers and hanging clothes.  Put all folded clothes in there proper place, e.g., not on the bedroom floor around my vanity.
• Eliminated clothing items that don’t fit, putting them in a box for my school’s clothing drive.  Took box of clothes to school for donation.
• Cleaned the master bathroom.
• Tidied up DH’s daughter’s future room.  I use it for the packaging of sold Etsy items.
• Found a lesson planning calendar for next year.  Wrote down all of the calendar days, determining how many days I actually have to plan for.  Began writing down plans for first day of school.
• Finalized packing for BMT, including my important documents folder.  Made photocopies of important documents to keep at home.
• Picked up prescriptions for glasses and contacts, since this website told me to bring them to BMT with me.
• Worked out consistently, alternating run days and pushup/sit-up days.  On Monday I start Week 3 of the hundred pushups and two hundred sit-ups programs.
• Finally purchased Tricare Reserve Select insurance for DH’s daughter (actually, the family plan) and United Concordia dental plan for reservists.  [MUCH more on this later!]
