So far I've done my morning routine, and I even have a load of laundry on the go. I have to work at 4pm, and with my uniforms dirty, I didn't have much of a choice, rotfl. I also did a mini-clean on the toilet, because I need to defend that white porcelain. I saw the nicest black toilet a few years ago (nice price tag too, $500 yikes!) and I *so* wish ours wasn't white.
I'm not sure what to tackle next. I could really go for more sleep, because after my meeting yesterday, I was so happy (I got the shifts I wanted, yay!) that I sweet-talked DH into a dinner out and even got some errands run - including groceries, which I enjoyed putting away in my newly cleaned cupboards.

WTG, you guys! I need to get some cards in the mail before work - thanks for the reminder, cando. So I did my ick, and that led to me cleaning the floor. Then I got into the shower and went to town on it: I put to good use the new knowledge I've got (that nothing will be 'clean' the first time around here, ha) so I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed some more. I used my nice body wash on the plastic walls, since I like the smell, rotfl. I even did the undersides of the shelving - huh! I swear, it's never been that clean. My laundry's drying, and I still have an hour to myself before hustling off to work.  |

Met with the person I wanted to give those tins, and we even took a walk - more than I would do on my own. And I bought a coffe cup, the exact copy of one I love to use at work, now I will have one for home too  |

Hi y'all!  Here's my update: Went thru another big pile from Dining Room Table
went to the post office to send one last thing
Aarrgghh! Mom got very nauseous at a store today and then her throat started hurting. Then, right when she was leaving to go to the doctor.... other stuff happened. regarding the leaves in their yard. Someone tried to get them to pay $500.00 for doing the leaves. Yikes! Evidently, my Dad had them do the leaves today or she did and I don't know..... they ended up paying much less... but Mom called me about this right after she told me that she was leaving to go to the doctor. She was so uptight & I couldn't blame her... $500.00! I advised her to call my older brother in Memphis. So, she did and I guess he helped advise her.
Ended up she just has a cold type thing... Back to it! CD  |

I put to good use the new knowledge I've got (that nothing will be 'clean' the first time around here, ha) so I scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed some more. thanks for that reminder cyn - I just went back over yesterday's ick window. I got more ick off the glass. While I was doing other stuff in the laundry I came across my window 'chamois', so I used it to polish the glass. The window is looking even better, but I think it will need at least one more round, until the microfiber clothes come back clean.
I feel like I have got a lot done so far: dishes, laundry, pet care, swept kitchen floor.
I need to hang out the pet blankets and then keep on with my hand washing - yay, looks like I will have something clean to wear on Christmas day

Hello everyone, just stopping in to see what hard work got done today! I was at my sister's for most of the day, and then had a walk when I got home, so nothing done but a little decluttering. I'm feeling pretty tired this evening, so I'm thinking I might just go to bed early. Tomorrow I have mid-day work but then will be home from mid-afternoon on. Goals for this weekend are to work on my paperwork that I've been neglecting, and to figure out some kind of cleaning routine.
Diane

Had a productive morning:  ironing dusting hoovering wiping off all kitchen surfaces cleaned the bathroom and a toilet Now I am going to start scanning some books I promised to my friend, since the only other thing I need to do this weekend is to pack things for Christmas (not presents, those are alredy done). Of course I am not counting the usual dishes. |

dtesposito -- I love the way you & lucie set weekend goals. Here's an update: Filed 85 papers! Totally cleared Dining Room table!!! Whew! Was maintaining from the last time that I did this a couple months, ago... but got messed up while parents were here with all their sickness... going to ER, ER, Admission to hospital, 2 trips to the Minor Emergency Clinic, etc. Dropped the ball & stopped maintaining it. So, today was the day to FINISH clearing it!
Put 44 papers/magazines/catalogs into recycle bag
Removed old tablecloth from the Dining Room Table to see if the new one will fit.
Tried new tablecloth on Dining Room Table -- Evidently my table is not a usual size, so difficulty finding a table cloth. Well, this one will do. It is a little short in the length, but I can make it work. I don't have time to do any more shopping for a few days, at least!
Removed the new table cloth & managed to fold it back, neatly. Whew! I'm so happy that I don't have to return it and shop for another one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Put old table cloth back on Dining Room Table -- I don't want to get the new one dirty yet. I hope that I remember to put it back on Sunday.
Went to Buffet to put new table cloth in drawer. Naturally... the effect of can't put it in until I make room for it. So, removed some other table cloths that may or may not fit my table and may or may not be stained. I don't remember one fitting it that was not stained.. but they are better than nothing. The surface of my Dining Room Table is ruined. Has to stay covered up. Anyway, I found bag of Lactated Ringers and supplies for IV. Aarrgghh! These have been sitting in that drawer since 2006!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last had to use lactated ringers on my little Siamese Sealpoint Cat, Bandit, who ended up dying in 2006. This bag expired in 2012. Tossed the Lactated Ringers & supplies! (poured the bag out, first).
