To do list overload

Ok, first off, I am not complaining, as I know the alternative is not good, but I seem to have a "to do" list overload. And this is retirement! Where is the time sitting in the garden reading a book or strolling along the beach! ha! But seriously my "to-do" list is wearing me down at the moment and causing me to stress and feel rather over-whelmed by it all as I see time zooming by and end dates getting closer. 

So what is on my to-do list this week, other than the usual around home things?

Today, Monday, I had some Photography club web-site work, and Centrelink computer stuff to do. Plus washing and a bit of gardening. And doing some work towards my art market on the weekend. Tick

Tomorrow, Tuesday, I am going to an eco-dying workshop an hours drive from home. I am looking forward to this as I have been playing around with eco-dying (leaves on fabric and paper) for a couple of years and I am ready to learn more. Yes I will share in a later post.

Wednesday I have lunch with a couple of friends. We've been meeting up for lunch for over 15 years, and have been through a lot together, and we really don't like it when we have to miss a lunch. We say it is cheaper than therapy! Plus I have some jobs to do in town while I am there.  Honestly we don't care where we go for lunch - even a muffin will do - as long as we meet up. 

Oh, and my Spanish dance class Wednesday evening. 

Thursday I have to get all my bits and pieces together for the Tree Street Art Safari on Saturday.  I had a stall last year at the home of Maggie in Banksia Street and had a lovely sheltered spot to display my wares. The idea is that home owners host artists in the "tree street" area of town and visitors walk from venue to venue. The tree street area is lovely with it's old weatherboard houses and lovely gardens and the art safari is always well attended. I had a fabulous day last year and Maggie agreed to host me again. It is a lot of work it get all my stuff organised - photo prints, greeting cards, cushion covers and tote bags featuring my photography, paper flowers, and my eco-printing on scarves, prints, greeting cards and this year also cushion covers. Thank you Maggie!

 Friday I am going to an all day writing workshop organised by my writer's group. Bad timing for me really the day before the Art Safari. Got to get my pre-workshop reading done! 

Saturday I will be at the Art Safari all day. Saturday night we have our grandies staying over and all day Sunday.  I am sure they will like to put a movie on while Grandma and Pop collapse in a chair with a glass of wine on Saturday evening.

So that's it from me today.  Do you get overwhelmed with your to-do list? Anyways, I have to get back to it, so have a fabulous week!
