I’ve been referring to my to-do list as “The Beast”. And not just any beast, but rather one of those three headed kind that grows three more heads anytime one is cut off. The list is ever-expanding and a bit intimidating. I’ll be keeping track of the list here and crossing off tasks as they are completed. Some items will include an anticipated completion date. Basically, this is all just to give me a false sense of accomplishment. The good news is, hopefully all of these tasks will be completed 8 weeks from now. Then once we’re in Scotland, I’ll have a whole new to-do list beast to battle with.
