Productive

I found the trick to make me productive!  Dave just needs to write me out a "Honey Do List" and I do it.  I don't even think about not doing it.  The fact that I want to do these things doesn't seem to be enough.  His asking me though, that's a whole different story.  It's like, "I need to do this.  Dave does so much for me so this is nothing!"  Last night, he asked me to do a couple of things today and I told him to write them down.  I then placed it right where I would see it when I woke up and then did it all without thinking.  It felt good to have a plan and to follow through with that plan.  Eventually these might become habits and maybe I'll be able to do them without the request of my husband but right now that doesn't even matter. 

It took Dave all of 2 minutes to write my list and as a result, I refilled my prescription, did the the dishes and laundry, had my oil changed and battery replaced, called about getting new contacts, and made sure I ate properly.  In addition, I also met my hospice patient for an hour and got an amazing massage (not at the same time, that would be weird).  Overall, I'm very happy with the way the day went.  I can only hope that next week I can do the same thing.
