2025 Week 18 To-Do

There is one thing that needed to happen this week that I did not put on last week’s To-Do List, mostly because I don’t like thinking about it ahead of time:

Mowing the lawn.

I finally got around to it on Friday - not all of the grass, just the grass that was getting a little out of control.

Which is fine - it’s May, that’s appropriate for May.

I didn’t like thinking about it in April.

Now, of course, it’s a pretty regular task until October-ish. Maybe I’ll write about it one of these days.

For now, though, here’s what’s on the docket:

This Week’s To-Do

  • I am Running A 5K locally this morning. Maybe as you read this.

  • I’ll probably Finish Grading Final Exams today. (I doubt I finished before the end of last night, but if I did, that’s a bonus.) I’ll also have to Put the Finishing Touches on My Summer Class this week.

  • Gotta Wish My Sister a Happy Birthday on Monday.

  • Hey! We’re Celebrating Our Wedding Anniversary this week! Not sure how exactly, but the date won’t pass unrecognized.

This Week’s May-Do

  • Believe it or not I do need to even Start Thinking About My Fall Semester Class. I’ve been taking a bunch of notes and it’s not exactly time to get that all recorded…but I don’t want to be pushing it too close to August. It’s going to be a busy fall - I want to stay ahead of the work.

  • There is enough interest in this house to See Thunderbolts* that I don’t think we’ll be waiting much beyond this week to see it.

This Week’s Won’t-Do

  • Here’s a new one for this week - just to let you know that my middle daughter passed her driving test last week and it has been a dream not having to drive her back and forth to dance all week. So I Won’t Be Doing Her Pick-Ups and Drop-offs to Dance Ever Again.

It was a busy week back to work after the time away. You can click here for more details, but here’s how what I wrote about last week went down:

Last Week’s To-Do

  • As I mentioned above, this adjunct work continues into this week.

  • The haircut worked out great. We got back from South Carolina Friday evening and I was able to schedule a cut first thing Saturday.

  • The decision was made. I was thinking that’s probably going to lead to a bunch of New Things this summer and into the fall.

  • I guess I’m going to have to post a picture and write about the exercise area soon. That part of downstairs is pretty much done. I’m proud of what I’ve done there.

Last Week’s May-Do

  • Turns out I opted for the Saturday one in Natick rather than the Sunday one in Framingham.
