Lists of lists

We've been very busy beavers the last two weeks, which means we've up to our necks in lists. We have work to-do lists, personal to-do lists, work logs, personal done-that files, expenses lists, financial allocations, a list of problems with the house, inventory lists, lists of physical therapy exercises, and on and on. What we need now is a list of lists so we can keep track of them all. Okay, I've written something in Blogger today. (Yay! Now I can move that item from the to-do list to the done-that list!)

Checklists

This week I'm going through a couple of checklists in each of our labs at work as part of the annual safety inspection. My findings are consistent with those described in the Checklist Manifesto:

1. Nobody wants to do them. It is assumed they are a waste of time that somebody else is making us do.

2. They consistently point out glaring problems that would have otherwise gone unnoticed.

3. A short checklist is more effective than a long detailed one.

Nonny finally came to live with us! (a whole year after we moved into our new house)

My first blog entry

It runs contrary to my nature to add more useless drivel to the world, but I recently read that the only way to get good at blogging is to make yourself write something every day. (Fat chance in my case.) Funny how you can feel self-conscious about something you know no one will ever read.

We spent the day cleaning up the house for tonight's dinner guests. Is that like pretending your someone you're not?
