Summer clothes have been stored away (finally!) - still few "half used" clothes in bedroom I need to put away. Bedroom is otherwise ready. Bathroom is otherwise ready but I still need to clean the sink. Livingroom is ready. Kitchen is otherwise ready, just need to wash the few dishes that I just put soaking, and wipe counters, and take out trash. Entry hall is ready, I just neatened my coats, made sure there are free hangers, carried a chair for my senior friend to put her shoes on, neatened my bags.
Next step: get laundry and hang up to dry Then: clean bathroom sink, take shower, get ready Then: take out trash, grocery shopping

Vegetable stew is simmering on the stove, and I washed the kitchen floor . A few minutes more, and I can add sour cream, put three portions in containers, add some boiled ham to the 4th serving, heat some more, and eat.

Oh boy, more work-alongers! So even though it's Saturday for you Europeans, it's still Friday night in California as far as I'm concerned. And I haven't had my dinner yet! The laundry is folded and all put away. My cat helped with the socks. I did half of my digital decluttering... will do the other half after dinner. Santa Fe chicken soup, YUM!

I had my dinner, washed the dishes, shined the sink, cleaned the counters, and zapped the sponges. Now it's time to get to bed before the sun rises! See you later.

It is 10:15 AM here and I am getting ready to go in search of breakfast. I did not get much done or sleep well last night. A really good friend was talking to me and was describing symptoms of what seemed to be a heart attack and I told them to immediately call their heart Dr (this would be heart attack 2 or 3) and have family take them to hospital ASAP. I just heard back they are in hospital and having a cath this morning.

Baking done (and eaten). Guests came and went. The rest of the evening I'll be hanging out at the student support thread, reading and taking notes. I'll be back here tomorrow, I have my home in neat and tidy order right now, so I can do something extra or deep cleaning or other improvements type of work on Sunday. And laundry... and dishes... oh, the latter I want to do today too.
Have a great Saturnday everyone, with TONS of motivation and energy!!!

TML, I hope your friend will be okay. I did the dishes, collected the garbage and took it out when I went out to go to the stores , and bought only items on my list. When I came back, the laundry was dry, and I folded and put it away. Next: supper.

I just had a nice visit with my friends and a dog, I cut wilted bracken at front and moved the lawn there and swept the stairs to the basement before they came and then we went to the back garden, they helped me to pick walnuts (3 buckets today) and I raked the leaves.
Guess what! I do not have to mow the back lawn tomorrow! I just met my neighbour when I was putting the mower away and he said: Oh you should have left it, I wanted to do it on Tuesday (a holiday here) with a big mower I will have here. So I said: well, if you want, I will leave you the back lawn to mow (the big one). And he said, fine, no problem, it is just half an hour job. Well it is more likely an hour with my small mower, and I am gratefull I will not have to do it.
So for now my garden is done before winter. There will only be some more leaves to rake, when the fall off apple trees.
