razy-kia kaha, you're doing it good and you're start off to every day is helpful for everyone I think, my opinion at least. wishing you well across timezones..
it's another day where i'm going to toss my todo list up the day before so i can just have it there ready and waiting
maintenance-
bathroomcounter, sink, cabinet, toilet wiped down. cat box scooped and baking sodaed, swept and wiped down floor
bedroompicked up laundry, took tea mugs to kitchen, straightened up school books, made bed, opened curtains, lit candles and incense
hallwaypicked up animal toys and more laundry
bathroomcounter, sink, cabinet, toilet wiped down, scooped cat bo, swept and wiped down floor, cleaned garbage can
diningroom
kitchen
pantry
frontporch
cats
ferrets
dorito
percy
fish
plants
vacuum
getmail- seriously, i haven't done this in forever, oops.
take out garbage
laundry-whites folded and put away, scatter rugs washing
homework-yesterday i finished the weeks worth of business law homework, nailed the reading, got 100% on the quiz, wrote an essay and did the required forum discussion where i am sure i will be labeled, among other things, a $^# republican meddling where i shouldn't, a bleeding heart liberal with zero understanding of the realities of the world, and if i'm really lucky maybe i'll get called a &*)% racist again. which i'm pretty gosh darn sure i'm not. but i said that perhaps it was best to not use inadequate tools to enforce case by case equity for individuals but to expose the corruption of an entire system, and yes, sometimes at the cost to a particular individual so that the laws and current structure of a flawed social and legal system might be properly exposed and corrected for the better of society as a whole. It's horrible that there are even reasons martyrs exist and sadder still when they are unwilling martyrs. but. oi. that was one position paper i never should have written, now wasn't it? i figure schools a place to explore what you think, not write agreeable fluff. sigh
so, today i want to read in polisci
chapter 4
chapter 5
chapter 6
take the first 1 of 3 tests for each chapter
read the extra reading
possibly test on it
write discussion paper for polisci
call-
as always my grandma
dad
email-
geo instructor i neglected to email yesterday and get a midterm outline
mancreature's parents back
my aunt and say thank you for the book she lent me even if we had a nasty fight
friend about halloween party
and OMG mancreature's parents are going to be here next friday and i've been using this place as decluttering stage grounds for the storage lockers being emptied out
omg
i just realised that
omg
omg
omg
omg
so
like
uhm.
i need to clean. alot.
----------------------------
i screwed up my taxes. didn't include postage on envelope.
spent half an hour on irs straightening that out
spent half an hour at leasing office straighening out lease
on the bright side man creature who is totally worn out has tomorrow off. he desperately needs it. so that's a huge plus.

Um.....I got my 2 younger boys off to school and made sure my oldest was awake and off to school before that. Those paper plates and cups have cut my dishes at least in half or maybe they have cut down on three quarters of them? I have to work later too. One of my cats peed on my husband's car parts catalog so I had to throw that out. Why would they pee on it? The litter box was not bad at all! Laundry, more dishes, vacuuming, work, supper.

Razy, thank you for starting the thread. Metamorpha, you're making a tent? CanDo, yesterday was a busy day. Plus all those dishes and loads of laundry. Are you enjoying your walking? Celeste, I see you spent some time outdoors as well. The autumn is such a beautiful season, is it not? Annieoakie, I hope you got more rest last night, or will tonight if you were otherwise engaged. Djollydjolan, you got a lot done in the maintenance arena in spite of feeling down. I hope today brings you lighter feelings. Udderchaos, kudos for the 50 minutes on the loungeroom floor. Momof3boys, getting those guys out the door and on time to school is quite a chore. You're doing a great job. Maybe the kitties don't like the smell of Hubby's manual? Or they don't like Hubby? Or they're just being persnickety. eagle's Thursday
morning wake-up routine
put on the coffee
vitamins & apple
re-set pedometer
200 seated twists on stability ball

wrote office To Do list & got started on it
write an ad for the newpaper (done 4 drafts later - but the the deadline was moved back a week, so I am now ahead of the game)
walk outdoors (took a slightly different route home on my break)
stopped in for a healthy dessert at local small business (supporting local businesses is a theme today, it seems)

Chiropracter appt. (also a local business)

razy- it's hell when people make kneejerk reaction judgements and they haven't even listened to what they're judging:/
momof3- maybe they were helping you declutter?
eagle-thanks eagle.. just alot of the decluttering i am doing is mom's stuff so it's a constant emotional drain and it feels like there's no respite in sight eh? but at least it's getting done.
celeste- hope the day goes well and getting your mom ready for the move goes as smoothly as possible for all...
annieokie- good job with tadas, hope you get some good sleep tonight:)

Hi, Everyone! I just got in and I'm literally falling off my chair for lack of sleep. Yesterday, I was so busy that I didn't even get a chance to post my TaDa's. Yesterday's triumphs: I got DAunt's taxes done and hand-stamped at the post office, picked up the mail, sorted and tossed, brought the good stuff in, went to DAunt's bank and got a counter check, paid her housing and board, did two loads of laundry, washed, dried,and put away, sorted a huge stack of papers, started a nice file for DAunt, made more categories than we already had, stirred some of my papers, called DSis, JG re work phone call, called EK regarding her wanting to switch a night with me, called A & G regarding the adoption proceedings, finally, I got two hours of sleep, snagged dinner and coffee, and made it to work last night. Which brings us to today! worked all night got paycheck stub from office paid utilities bill and mailed it started filling out referral forms for adoption snagged breakfast called DSis #1, called DSis #2 Going to bed. will add more later.  Slept 3+ hours. Going back for more... ToDo still: reinforce already-full garbage sack shower2shoes need lots of lotion/moisturizer today (weather changing?) take garbage to alley coffee, dinner go to work If I have a few minutes extra at work, I hope to work on friends' adoption referral papers so I can mail them in the morning.  Everyone is doing so well today! Keep up the good work! |

YEE HAW!!! I finished my project for work that I have been working on for over two months!!! Some insurance companies (and more in the future) are requiring clinics, etc. with CT scanners (and other sources of radiation or medical imaging) to become accredited through one of two accrediting entities. We chose the American College of Radiology and the process is very, very precise. I mailed off all of our materials today and if I did my job correctly, we should hear back from them in the next 3-6 months on our status. I literally prayed over that packet before I sent it, just that I had done the best job I could and that it would pass. What a weight off of my shoulders for now! Looks like all are busy bees here today, keep up the great work kids!!  |

Annie==Glad you have some relief now that project is mailed off.
Saffron-- Woot! Woot! You're so sweet to do your aunt's taxes. WTG on getting that done & everything else you did!!! I hope you can get some sleep today.
EAgle--I've been meaning to tell you that I like those things you post on your list like... "Clean Something", and "throw something away." That is great!
About your question on walking outside... I much prefer to do things outside; however, I do not feel very safe in my neighborhood unless there are other joggers/walkers out and about, too. By the time Iget home from taking the kids to school, they're all done and no one is out there. Yesterday, I saw a couple suspicious looking people---to me suspicious, but lately I've been extra jumpy so don't know if truly suspicious & whether or not I should have called 9-1-1. But, suspicious enough to cause myself to be paranoid & just wanted to get back home & not have one of them approach me... It was not so beautiful here yesterday...very gray and drizzling. I did enjoy the outdoor Boot Camp that I was doing. And, I also enjoy it when I get to walk by a lake. But even then, if I'm the only one out there or just one or two men out there....then I don't feel so comfortable.
Sorry for that verbose answer...

Tadas's Today:
1)dressed2shoes including make-up, teeth hair..
2)took DD to school
3)took puppy -- she has not been playing much lately and I'm starting to get worried about her. I will be taking her to the vet soon. She has become a very nervous, high strung dog. I want her to continue to socialize with other dogs, but don't want to send her to play place if she is just laying & not interacting. Hmmm. Maybe it is okay as long as she is not shaking or seeming to be in fear,, or something. I want to be sure she is healthy, too. The place I take her to was very honest and told me they just didn't want me to be wasting my money, but she no longer plays with the other dogs & just lays down & sleeps. She does sleep a lot at home, too, and seems to really get out of breath quickly. Should be high energy kind of dog & appears that way, but she will be panting much more than my older dog...
4)came back home & took DS to school
5) did volunteer work at their school for a couple hours.
6)took 2 bags of trash to outside can
7)took DS his laptop
8)brushed teeth for 2nd time today
9)looked over bill situation
10)took DS his laptop
11)walked with DAngelDog 15 minutes around lake
12)picked up puppy & fed her, fresh water 2nd time today...
13)put Load #1 in washer
14)called to schedule appt. for haircut, left message
15)put away hand-washed stuff from drainboard
16)pick up DS from Engineering/Robotics meeting
7)pick up DD from Marching Band Practise
Back to it!
