Did
Come up with the genius plan of taking the morning off
Get almost nearly enough sleep
Mindlessly fill in excel worksheets at work
Read a bunch of my book
Watch a sizable chunk of tv
Didn't
Have any idea how tired I was until getting off the subway
Resist the siren song of caffeine
Go to the gym
Complete a job application for a job in St Paul
Write back to Directress

Did
Saturday:
Brave the morning crowd at Fairway
Show up 6 hours early for strike to "organize"
Kill many hours at a suburban mall
See The Raven
Avoid being called onstage for parting gifts
Run a pretty efficient strike (with Husband's help)
Sunday:
Get out of the theater around 1:30 am
Spend an hour driving around Manhattan trying to get home
Thank the actors
Stay up, wired, until 4 or so
Wake up at 10 actually looking my age
Take a long walk
Crash on the couch
Clean the heck
Didn't
Bother with Saturday's blog
Write post-mortem notes to the producer/directress
Ever quite decide about going to work tomorrow
Keep track of all the things I didn't do

Did
Sleep in a bit
Plan the heck out of tomorrow night's strike
Clean a pool of blood out of the refrigerator
Contemplate washing our bedding
Read about personality types
Escape to the cemetery for half an hour to finish my book
Lift weights
Eat dinner on the G train
Hit up Newly-Ex Coworker's final celebration
Have a fun, animated conversation about theater with Newly-Ex Coworker's fiance
Didn't
Get dumb drunk off of beer
Alienate people by being negative
Resist the temptation to bring That Guy along to make the fun more fun
Convince That Guy to help with strike
Get a good read on which actors are going to ditch tomorrow
Hurt myself
Let anybody down

Did
Scrape together the little work I could find
See an allergist
Pay too much in copays for drugs
Go out to celebrate Co-Worker's imminent departure
Avoid giving Boss-Lady the impression that I will be her new BFF
Go out for post-celebration celebrations
Default to making funny but negative comments about the office
Wish I were less of a jerk
Didn't
Remember how to spin out an anecdote
Remember the names of the characters in Zoo Story
Avoid drinking too much
Take any risks
Do anything creative
Wash the dishes
Remember to blog

Did
Complete two proposals and a presentation
Have a fun lunchtime bitch session with She Who Leaves Tomorrow
Leave work early to repair flood damage at the church
Fix the floor, tape it, paint it, detail it, and focus a light in under an hour
Get to leave before dark
Didn't
Realize there was a performance tonight until someone tried to buy a ticket from me
Quite stop myself from making fun of Directress
Make a chiro appointment
Write a story

Did
Share a train car with a lot of familiar strangers
Laze my way through a Bookkeeping Tuesday
Do some crazy twisty pilates stuff
Leave a small pile of sweaty clothes in Body Shaman's office
Leave her an incoherent voice message about it hours later
Come home to a working bathroom sink!
Make an allergist appointment
Didn't
Mention to Body Shaman that it hurts to bend my neck to the side
Quite believe her when she asserted that I am Healed
Convey my disbelief
Schlep out to Jersey to clean up the slightly flooded theater
Lie and say I was too busy to come out tomorrow night
Manage to remember what the essay I thought of on the way home was about so I could write it

Did
Kind of forget that showing up slightly less late than usual is still late
Finish the presentation more than 10 minutes before it was due
Get to see people get excited about the design that was my idea
Call an abrupt end to a staff meeting
Lift with New Coach for the first time
Self-correct some problem positions
Remember just how great eating and showering can be
Didn't
Get the gift of a working sink
Quite finish writing minutes before the staff meeting
Get to appear un-useless in the staff meeting
Let New Coach believe the stupid accidental lies I told her
Make a strike list

Did
Sleep late
Laze around
Watch some AWESOME videos
Spend about 20 solid minutes making elephant noises with Husband
Do some chores
Didn't
Write any stories
Look for new jobs
Make progress on getting a dog
Fix the curtainrod I accidentally ripped from the wall
Prepare to possibly give a presentation tomorrow
Hang out with That Guy - mostly because it was rainy and cold
Make any major life decisions

Did
Wake up at 8
Notice how the morning smells different than the rest of the day
Enjoy reading my book
Nap for 3 hours in the middle of the day
Clean the apartment a bit
Succumb to guilt and drag Husband out to see the play
Notice that half the dimmers weren't working
Fix it during intermission
Take pictures
Walk home in the start of the rain
Didn't
Do any wholesome Earth Day volunteering
Get herbs to plant in pots
Go grocery shopping
Take advantage of the weather by playing outside
Smack the SM when she whined about the lights not being her fault
Hang out and socialize afterwards

Did
Listen to two girls bitch about Crossfit on the subway platform
Show up to work egregiously late
Somehow find stuff to do all day
Miss out on the sketch session for my project to assemble a last-minute presentation
Almost set up a first session with a new coach
Go out for drinks after work
Drink a giant beer and instantly get a headache
Talk to the newest employee in our office for the first time
Lose at Mr. Jack
Didn't
Avoid being the downer at the drinks party
Quit or get fired
Get useful information out of city agencies
Decide to interview to be a bike rack inspector for DOT
Do all my mobility work like a good girl
Lift weights

Waffle about what to wear for fully 10 minutes
End up weirdly grumpy all day

Get praised by Lady Boss for showing initiative
Get chided by Lady Boss for being useless/introverted
Strongly consider telling Lady Boss she can just fire me
Look for other jobs
Cook dinner
Waste the evening on the intarwebs
Didn't
Quit
Find a new job elsewhere
Decide if I'm brave enough for the gym tomorrow
Figure out if I care enough about the producer's opinion of me to go see the play I worked on

Remember to get a lightbulb for the stove hood
Feel omnicompetent
