Getting things done as the list grows

Yesterday for the first time since before I can recall, I was able to get my hair cut. I don't really get it cut during the winter other than bang trims, then usually do a big cut in the Spring. It feels nice to have it shorter since it had gotten long and heavy. My local hair salon opened and everyone was masked up and that was reassuring, and now as the weather's hotter, I feel lighter.
But the things I still have to do keep growing, I've been avoiding my car, which I really shouldn't have done since the battery couldn't get going. I had a feeling this was going to happen so one my next projects is calling AAA to get it sorted out as I've had this happen before. When I was doing grad school in Michigan and basically walked everywhere and the battery died and then on a holiday vacation at my parents when I didn't use my car as much. It's an odd thing to have happen since being stuck in my neighborhood has reminded me how much I like where I live. I like that I can walk for most of my errands and if need to, take the T, but its also useful having my car ready to go.
Also on my list is clearing out my mountain of boxes in my hall, having my car will help since I can drop the old printer at Staples. I work best at keeping things going when I have a reason and before the lockdown, I was driving almost every day for work.
My writing has stalled a bit but I'm trying to get a few words in here and there, I have this Jyn fic that won't be long but I think interesting. Then I have various longer wips that I have various ideas for and keep adding things here and there. I know that I'll feel better if I can finish something small which will give me the push to go into the bigger stuff.
In terms of the rest of the world, I'm doing my best to read, donate and be active how I can.
