Hoping the stair will get there soon - it's 90% done!

[Starflower]

It sure does not feel like I am doing much, mainly laying on the couch and eating low carb....but my front porch is slowly getting full of trash bags!

TADA
.did a couple of errands
.posted on the non-listzilla accountability thread - I got vitamins and a video returned to me
.a neighbor called while I was laying down and I looked up something on the net for her (again). She keeps asking me to babysit her adult, fairly high functioning, autistic son so she and her hubby can get to doc appts, and I keep putting her off due to my own health problems and appts. She has many other options that she uses and abuses and I do not want to be a part of it (again). I do have caller ID and can see that it is her and I pick up, stupidly thinking it will be something innocent, but I will not answer anymore. All she wants to do is to rant about is how bad some ppl are in her life, and she will not set boundaries and stays the victim. I think she thinks I will feel sorry for her if she moans and groans, and I don't.

TODO
.supper, PM meds and vitamins
.put out clothes for tomorrow
.get ready for bed

Hang in there Starflower --

Yes, sometimes we have to set firm boundaries with people -- even those whom we feel moved to help at times.

Ta-Das --

2) Swept front door area for mopping.
3) Wiped down area where icky mysterious substance spilled from somewhere in the fridge.

To Dos --

1) Go to grocery store
2) Put away groceries (I'm sooo bad about this)
