So a Week Has Passed...

So a week has passed and although I've been busy it feels like not much has been accomplished. It's discouraging. Some issues are being resolved but the piles aren't shrinking.

Call the hospital & insurance company re: billing Lots of run-around & phone tree negotiating, but ultimately I resolved the issue -- for now!
Call Safe Home re: toiletries donation Called & left a message. They never returned my call.
Drop off clothes & shredder to Salvation Army The items got as far as my car. However, I continue to add things to the bag!
Drop off toiletries to Safe Home?? Still waiting to see if they want/ could use these items
Write insurance company & cancel policy I decided to call rather than write. After 15 minutes on the phone - talking to a real person - I still wasn't any closer to accomplishing this goal. I'm going to have to find the original policy.
Sort & file papers on kitchen table In progress
Clean off the top of the dryer Partially completed
Go for mammogram Done!
Print out photos for scrapbook I'm having issues with the printing. :(
Scrapbook pages/layouts for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Game Night, Thanksgiving Need photos
Sort and put away scrapbook supplies A major reorganizing effort! I decided I need a few more storage devices but for the most part this is done.
Pay bills oops
Apply Frontline to Brin/ Heartworm pill Done!
Start to clear off bookcase/storage unit in bedroom A small dent was made.

Grocery shopping Done!

My Second Accounting

Well, two weeks have passed since I posted my last list of goals. I haven't given up, just making slow progress. I've been tired lately (poor sleep) and I went to visit my Mom last Sunday (a friend of hers is dying), so I needed the extra time to work on this list. Here's how I did:

Schedule a  maintenance appointment for the car - I scheduled an appointment for yesterday (6/29). The day I wanted (6/22) was booked. A few days after I made the appointment, they left a message on my answering machine saying I had missed my appointment on 6/22. Argh! I called and they had no record of my 6/29 appointment -- even though all of my prior interactions with them were via email! I made another appointment.
Schedule my physical, my yearly GYN exam, mammo, & blood work - done (Also scheduled daughter's yearly Gyn exam; she suggested we go together!) 
Schedule husband's doctor appt - done
Plant flowers in flower bed & window boxes - All of the flowers are in the flower bed, with the exception of those in hanging baskets.
Find a place to plant strawberries & do so - The strawberries are in the window boxes.
Plant herbs - basil & Mexican tarragon - done
Dig out compost and move it to the garden - exhausting but done!
Finish mulching veggie garden - done
Clean out fridge - All of the old leftovers have been tossed; the shelving could use a good wash though.
Continue to tidy table - It didn't happen.
Finish reading Sister  for book discussion - done
Buy refreshments for book discussion - done
Bake banana bread - My daughter did this. (Thanks!)
Make hard boiled eggs - done
Because so much time passed since I wrote this list, I actually had enough time to go for my GYN exam!
