A. Morning Musings

6:45 am The sun is shining, for the first time in almost a week. Today should be fairly relaxing. The packing is almost complete and there is little left to do. We will move some of our boxes up to the house tomorrow and will then move out of this unit early Monday morning.

I have reviewed my TO Do list and set it up for April. This will be a month of non-Learning as almost all of my books are now shipped home. Bird-watching will be the primary activity. I have only one item listed for accomplishing in April. But I have a total of 48 items still in my list for future activities. I must definitely work at shortening that list, both by focusing on those items already identified as well as not adding many new items to the list. Although the situation might reasonably be described as getting out of hand or even overwhelming, by having such a list I am in a much better situation to make future decisions explicitly rather than by default.

Chores: pick up watch from Byron Bay

C. Actual

4:15 PM We are back from Byron Bay. The day was perfect, not a cloud in the sky. There were a lot of people at the beach but the town did not appear to be overly crowded. I stopped in at the police station to pick up the watch but there was some mixup and I will have to return again in a week or so.

Our packing is finished and the unit is clean and ready for the next tennants.
