Okay, ten ’90s bonus points if you opened this post for that title/lyric.

Cheers! It’s Monday (I mean, Make My List Monday) and I went back to work today… hence the title. So what’s on my list this week?

1. Get my hair cut! Yesss! I have been putting it off for a day when I can sit upright for long enough without getting tire… that day is HERE!
2. More squash! Yesterday’s recipe (below) will be up tomorrow! 
3. Chicago planning- this week I’m looking at RESTAURANTS: Bin 36, Atwood Cafe, Argo Tea, Bistrot Margot, Corner Bakery Cafe… thoughts?
4. Library– to return some of the nine novels I read while homebound. Not including the hospital. I’m probably going to go blind.
5. Enjoy the nice days with neighborhood walks while there is still time before the clocks get switched and the DARKNESS comes. 
6. Review a blog friend’s e-book- keep your eyes out for more info!

• 6 hours I waited in pain before going to the ER
• 12 (approximately) inches of intestine they removed
• 15 staples holding my incision
• 5 inches of incision, and 5 days in hospital, 5 new stories written.
• 4 craft projects I worked on at home. 
• 10 (estimate) games of Scrabble with Momma
• 9 (and counting) novels completed (see above)
• 7 (Breaking Bad, Dirty Sexy Money, Melrose Place (that’s right), Nip/Tuck, 30 Rock, Sports Night, Ugly Betty) shows I watched at least one episode of on Netflix.
• 3 new forms of protein I tried for “operation re-beastify”. More to come on that.
• Innumerable Friends and Family to get me through!

What are you doing this week? Do you ever focus on numbers when looking at events, details,  or accomplishments?
