Weeks

I seem to divide my life into sections. If I am seeing more than one doctor, I try to schedule them in the same week so that it becomes "doctor week". If I have housework to do - big jobs - I try to get them all done the same week as well, so that becomes "house week". This week is Christmas week. I have decorating to do, cookies to make, and gifts to wrap. And I need to get it all done this week.

We are creatures of habit and each of us has our own little peculiarities. My husband is a pressure person - he needs to be under pressure to accomplish things (sorry but its true dear). I am a list and compartment person. I make lists for everything and I compartmentalize everything. So my weekly schedules combine those two things.

East Hampton is wonderful this time of year and its easy to get distracted by the festivities. I'm trying not to. I need to stay focused on my "Christmas" week and I need to check everything off my list (twice). I should work for Santa!
