I am having a particularly blah day today.
I've moped around and eaten junk food and read blogs on my phone til my vision is blurry. A totally wasted day.
My kitchen is at a very bad level, and before daylight tomorrow morning is county trash pick up.
I don't feel like doing anything, so I am going to do some act of cleaning or desqualoring for 8 minutes - with permission to repeat if I so choose.
I'm asking everyone to join me in doing 8 minutes toward improving your home and life today. Any activity that does that will qualify.

I dayeanu, I will start with 8 minutes of dishes (and a coffee). I hope to get back soon, provided I don't get caught up in a longer project.

ALRIGHT DAYE!
Ohblondie challenged me in the Weekday thread to get started on my cleaning, so I've swept everything except my 2nd BR. I will now do 8 minutes of sweeping/tidying in that BR, which is my messiest room.

Doesn't it feel great to get garbage out? I always feel virtuous when I get all my trash and recycling out before the pick-up! I did 8 minutes tidying and sweeping the 2nd BR, I also noticed that one of my plants in there was starting to wilt so I watered it. Then I did 8 minutes packing a book order to send out. Since I'm on a roll, I'm going to do 8 more minutes on another book order. Diane

Daye, I hope to work on dishes next as I have spent too much time reading Grisham's 'Gray Mountain' today. I also need to start on trash. For me though, even on a 'good day' since I use a walker for mobility it takes me at least an hour, a qt. of Lipton'a cold brew tea, and often an extra Tramadol to gather our trash and reline the waste baskets for dn to carry it out. Lately, since she has not been well (Baker's Cysts) she has paid the neighbor boy to carry our trash out. Best wishes. MissABCD

OK, coffee drunk and also made the effort to telephone tiresome neighbour. I value community and feel I need to make the effort put this into practice, even though sometimes she makes me want to scream.
I am going back to reboot the laundry, also need to quickly check local newspaper for any deals. Daye - so pleased to read that you have bagged the trash and now ready to haul it.

Daye, don't worry about reading posts, just keep working! Hi MissABCD, a fellow reader, yes it's so easy to get lost in reading, instead of housework. Jendela, you are very kind to be social to the annoying neighbor. If she's that annoying, you may be the only one who makes an effort to be friendly. Second book order packed, I gave meds and food to the cats, and I dug out, untangled and put away an extension cord that's been hanging behind my LR dresser since Christmas. I will spend 8 more minutes on pet care. Diane
