Cold.\u00a0 Wet.\u00a0 Grey.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s my prediction.\u00a0 ‘Course I’m not a certified weather liar, I’ve been right more often than wrong, but I blew it big time yesterday.\u00a0\u00a0 It was 46F when I headed to bed, and had been for hours, so I took the safe bet.\u00a0\u00a0 45F and wet.<\/p>\n
I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday, even with the late start.\u00a0 Some of it just took longer than I hoped so I’m still behind where I wanted to be.\u00a0\u00a0 Got a bunch of work done in the kitchen.\u00a0 Hopefully I can finish buttoning up the wall and finally install the dishwasher.<\/p>\n
If I can do that, I can get some other cleaning and organizing stuff done before I leave.\u00a0\u00a0 I’d like to be in north Houston by 2pm, unless I blow off that pickup and spend more time up here.\u00a0 I feel like I need to get home though.\u00a0\u00a0 Presents to wrap, house to get ready for mom… etc.\u00a0 The pickup gives me a deadline.<\/p>\n
I really need external deadlines.\u00a0\u00a0 Something in my personality, but it made me good at project work.\u00a0\u00a0 If left to set my own deadlines, I tend to slip the heII out of the schedule.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Since prepping is usually open ended, I often find myself with slipping deadlines.\u00a0\u00a0 That and general laziness mixed with weariness can leave me with things that should be done going undone.\u00a0\u00a0 Gotta fight it, but it’s tiring to keep up the pace all the time.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I guess that’s why I believe in a general preparedness rather than preparing for one particular scenario.\u00a0\u00a0 If that one scenario doesn’t have a date attached, or if the date comes and goes, the prepping can suffer.\u00a0\u00a0 But if you are prepped to a basic level, then whatever happens you are likely covered – at least partially.\u00a0\u00a0 And some is always better than none when it comes to preps.<\/p>\n
Keep plugging away at it, maintain forward progress, and stack it up.<\/p>\n
