I’ve just been sitting here thinking of all the stuff I need to do around the house, and instead of doing them, I thought I’d compare my list to everyone else’s:

-Break up the brush pile in the backyard and store in the shed for kindling  
-Rake up a metric shit-ton of leaves  
-Move leaf bags into the shed  
-Make sure storm windows are all down  
-Seal up windows for the winter  
-Finish painting the nursery  
-Assemble the crib & move baby furniture into the nursery  
-Fix our obnoxiously loud bed  
-File old bills  
-Back up the laptop  
-Straighten up the garage so we can fit both cars in there for the winter  
-Clean the basement  
-Finally replace that light switch in the foyer that’s been needing to be changed for a year now

Longer term, there’s:  
-Replace windows  
-New roof over sun room  
-Fix front walkway  
-Do something with that bad corner of the back yard  
-Prune the apple trees  
I’m going back to bed.

The big thing, besides stuff for work, is to have someone in to fix my kitchen faucet. But I have been ignoring that forever.
