Lists

I have started making lists much more frequently than I ever have before. There is no small amount of satisfaction when I know what I hope to accomplish during the span of the day and when I can firmly mark off the completion of the items one by one. It gives the acts a feeling of permanence if only for myself. And so I thought it would truly only be fitting to throw a list or two up for posterity. Since I’m aware of certain “editing” things I can do, I can even update this post by striking through the completed items as I finish them. How sweet is technology? Pretty sweet, sometimes.
