Hi, folks. Everyone was quite busy yesterday.
Razy, a little bit of letdown after completing the big project? Great job, BTW.
Udderchaos, I hope you are enjoying your shiny mirrors.
Djollydjolan, did you check out the gym?
Celeste, glad the thermostat got replaced. Sauna's are great, but only when you choose them, right?
Mouse, great job putting things away.
CanDo, you really seem to be tackling the eating area AND the papers.
Lessismore, you had a very productive day!
AnnieOkie, it's great you could fill up the tank for $20.
Saffron, I used to work those hours, too. It was really hard on my body and sapped my energy.

Take meds Update Fanfare Send Cousin John more old family photos via email Write note to Cousin Donna regarding pix (started) Send snail mail to Cousin Donna for email addy Maintenance Gathered trash and got it out for Dad Visit Mother Attend Insurance evaluation with Mom Go outside to the inner patio with Mom Ran out of time Vote Say good-bye to constant political ads  Watched election coverage _________________________________________  I exhausted myself so much yesterday pushing Mom "around the block" that I didn't have the energy to complete some of my tasks. Hopefully, I will get more done today, but I AM feeling very tired these days. I'll do what I can and try to forgive myself for falling short of perfection, if need be. _________________________________________ Eagle - Thanks for starting the thread today. Yes, I'm relieved the sauna is gone. It was very confusing to the cats, who couldn't figure out how it could be high summer in the house and pleasant autumn outside!  tiredofthis - Good luck with the laundry and bedroom! You deserve a restful, peaceful place to sleep, you know.  djdj - Migraines are bad enough without complications, hon. Don't push yourself too hard today. Rest often, take in fluids, and try not to stress out too much. Feel better SOON!  AnnieOkie - Good luck getting to the polls at a decent time. That is always up for debate here: What's the best time to go? Best wishes with the table-clearing and laundry today.

Tadas:
1. Slept in late-Bad...I'm still unemployed and sleeping is very enticing to me because of depression of no job. Had HORRIBLE dreams that woke me up with a start. Think because of stress of my life being out of control.
2. Voted.
3. Made dinner.
4. Watching election results.
Need to do:
1. Do two loads of laundry all the way.
2. Do dishes all the way.
3. Take out trash.
4. Put away clothes mountain.
5. Do bills.
6. Put away leftovers.
7. Help son with math homework.
8. Straighten up living room.
9. Call friend RE: babysitting.
10. Do a rough draft of a schedule/job list for me.
11. Straighten up fridge.
Getting an earlier start tonight-8 p.m. my time.
God help me.

Looks like self-forgiveness is necessary! Got watching election coverage and couldn't tear myself away. Now I'm too tired to concentrate on the cerebral tasks left. Tomorrow I will. Honest! (I have plans to rearrange my list a bit. Yes, I'm a tease!) _________________________________________ lessismore - Keep plugging away at that thesis! You'll get there. Try using breaks away from the thesis to clean. I find I get less tired if I can mix mental and physical activities. Cando - You really got a lot done in the kitchen today. That spaghetti sounds yummy. lilith - Kudos to you for getting up and moving even when you are depressed! You also made dinner and did you civic duty by voting. As you are depressed, don't forget to give yourself ta-das for everything you do. It is far too easy to focus only on the bad. Instead, celebrate the good, no matter how humble or petty it may seem to you at the time. Those trivial deeds will grow as your sense of self-worth and empowerment grows. |
