More hours needed.

For the past week I have had a list sitting on my desk, patiently waiting to be crossed off as I achieve these small but important goals. It's still sitting there. It hasn't been marked at all. It's now 3.30pm and I have to go to work and again I have achieved nothing.
No, wait, that's not entirely true.

Things I have achieved today:

I have not hit my head on the roof or bruised myself.
I bought flowers and collected a package without using English... used mime, grunts and Finnish numbers.
Spoke to three different lovely people on the phone.
Emailed many more lovely people and a couple of not so lovely people (ha! That'll make you think!).
Ate. Twice.
Picked up the clothes that I threw all over the house last night.
Showered. Once.
Downloaded software.
Listened to lots of music.

Of course the things I wanted to achieve today are totally different but at the same time, it was quite a nice way to spend a windy, chilly Finnish day. I actually spent a lot of time looking out the window watching the leaves turn yellow in front of my eyes (or so they appeared to).
Must be grateful for the small things.
