I dropped Michele and the girls off at the airport this morning at 5AM. They arrived safely this afternoon in Cincinnati for a two week visit.

That means that the house will be empty and I will have no responsibilities outside of work for two weeks. This has happened in the past and I have not taken full advantage of the situation. Typically I would work late, grab some fast food on the way home, fall asleep on the couch around 8PM, wake up around midnight, putter around until 2 or 3 in the morning and then sleep. The next day I would be tired from staying up late, so I would fall asleep on the couch around 8PM, etc., etc.

This time I need to give myself a set of goals and make a plan to keep myself busy.

Here's the rough list of things to do I came up with:

Daily


• Feed fish
  
• Eat fruit
  
• Check/water plants
  
• Dishes/paper/trash
  

In the next two weeks


• Dinner with Mom
  
• Remove stump from front yard
  
• Put up shelves in the girls room
  
• See Zaitoichi, Donnie Darko, Napoleon Dynamite
  
• Go shoot my rifle
  
• Go see a live band
  
• Reprep laptop
  
• Plan that blogging thing
  
• Sell all that stuff on Ebay
  
• Ride my bicycle
  
• Try a Mochaberry at Borders
  
• Do the hot sauce experiment
  

What else should I plan to do? Anyone else want to do these things?
