Vacation is over...

So how did I do on the list? Not too badly, although I'm not entirely sure where all the time went. Lots of sleeping (I spent the first three days sick, just laying on the couch), lots of time with friends, projects taking more time than I expected, reading without having a time limit - stuff that can't be readily quantified.

In reverse order of both fun and priority:

Cleaning:
- Thoroughly clean one room a day. This is the big, once-a-year cleaning. So, I only pulled apart two rooms, but did do the regular cleaning for the rest. The house actually looks pretty good (even when the sun shines in!)
- Do the same for the pantry.
- Sort through ALL clothes, dealing with them as appropriate.
- Wash all washable curtains. Vacuum the drapes.
- Polish the silver (I actually enjoy doing this - strange, but true).
Financial/paperwork stuff:
- Input/update Quicken
- Balance any bank statements hanging around
- Prepare and enter a 2007 budget
- Close out 2006 (obviously not until next week)

- File the "file pile"
- Go through file cabinet and have a shredding party
- Pull year end retirement statements and update spreadsheet
Software/electronic stuff:
- Call support for Acrobat(won't run, won't delete and won't update)
