Oh the Mondays will come...

The best way to start off a Monday is definitely oversleeping by an hour, right? Ha, so much for getting a head start on the week, like I had originally planned.

It never fails, I only sleep-in when I have already decided that today is the day that I finally get situated with the time change (I know I am tad late to that party). I should mention that until recently, I have been a very punctual person. You see, I hate waiting on people and even worse is the guilt that comes with knowing that others are waiting on you. That is why I strive to be on time or 5 minutes early if possible.

I view my former punctual self as a go getter and I like being on time and organized. It makes me smile; however, my punctuality is a headache for my significant other (S.O.), mainly because he is not punctual or even aware that he is late. I have made peace with this for the most part. I admit every once in awhile I get really anxious when we are running late and begin to point out that I use to be extremely timely when I was single. And well, it is easy to see where that conversation goes… Putting all this aside, today I am going to make a realistic plan of action to make sure that I get out the door with 5 extra minutes and arrive at my destination 5 minutes early instead of just on-time. Just on-time could be just about late and that is why I have kept the 5 minute buffer space.

I will have to make an additional check-list since I do a lot prepping already, such as packing my gym bag before bed and setting the coffee pot up ahead of time. So I guess I am going to need an updated list.

New Check List:
*Complete the old check-list and add the items below
*Pack animal crackers and chips at night
*Fill water bottle and put in my bag at night
Oh man…this is about all I can think of…oh wait!
*Set out and iron items of clothing I might want to wear

Okay, that is all I have for this moment…Maybe I should quit doing unnecessary things like cleaning the shower or wiping the refrigerator out? I suppose I can revisit this later, ugh!
