Hi All Thank You Eagle and Celeste for missing me  Since I have started back at work full time I am a bit lost in terms of routine. Days pass and I don't do anything but go to work and I come home so tired. I expected to have heaps of free time once I had finished with school work but I don't seem to. Today I went to work 6am - 2.30pm and when I came home I spent some time weeding my flower garden. I had restricted my gardening until I got my school work done so I really enjoyed myself today. I went out for dinner with friends tonight which was nice and now I am going to watch some TV and go to bed. Something I did achieve today was to give away some plastic crates that have been sitting around since we shifted. I am sorry for all the waffle, I am not being very accountable at the moment but I will be when I work out a new routine. You guys are such an inspiration! Have a great day! |

Thank you, Razy! Unfortunately, that's my to-do list. (It's currently 3:40 a.m. where I am). It's going to be a long night and day, but I'll feel like a huge weight has been lifted once I'm able to cross those things off my list (at least the first 3). I'll save your congratulations for later.  I'm glad you got to enjoy an evening with your friends and were able to relax for a bit. Good luck finding your routine! |

Hi, all. Razy, it's great you gave yourself the pleasure of getting back into your garden. It's 26 degrees Farenheit here. I won't be gardening much for a few months. Other than the house plants. Lessismore, you can do it. It'll feel great to get it done and finished. Djollydjolan, your post on Byways was wonderful. My best to you and mancreature (I'm sure he is effected, as well.) Celeste, your consistency is inspiring. I missed Saturday's thread, although I did start a post on Saturday morning. On Sunday afternoon, I noticed that the screen was still open on the creation of the Saturday Accountability Partners' thread. I thought of posting it anyway, but decided it didn't matter all that much, so threw it out. Yesterday, I spent half the day relaxing and the other half cleaning the carpet at the restaurant. A very deep cleaning, which got out so much dirt, I was shocked. Even after going over the carpet about 4 times, the machine was still sucking up 'black' water. I felt as though there was no end in sight, but I had spent almost 5 hours on it, and I was getting tired. eagle's Monday
 morning wake-up routine
took out the recyle bin for pick-up
laundry: one dryer load hung/folded/put away
trying on a pair of pants to determine which pair to toss (2 pair alike, one has a faulty zipper, but I can't tell if I don't wear them to figure it out)
checked email & deleted several
 follow up on email from bank (an e-payment I sent out was returned - need to find out if I input the wrong address for the payor or something else)
shower & hair
emptied the trash & garbage
200 seated twists
Yoga
make-up & dressed for work
donated one clothing item
tidied living room
write & work on Office To Do List (restaurant)
vitamins & apple
clean something
dust something
15 minutes in home office
return Rug Doctor machine
shop for groceries (out of many things)
special project: create plant haven indoors - the perfect spot is on the rise around the whirlpool tub - under the skylight & easy access to moisture
clean/clear off the area
prepare the area (towels, tiles, etc. clean off the outer surfaces of the pots
arrange the potted plants in their new home
total steps for the day: 7,434

Hello to all! lessismore-I hope you were able to finish!! Having one of those days. Got up to pouring rain, cold and windy. 25 minutes late to work because of flashing traffic light.....cars backed up for a couple of miles. Wish I could have stayed home in bed. Been off my stride since I got here. Hope to get back in the swing soon!! Kind of had the same kind of weekend....nothing major happened just kind of depressed and frozen....probably just PMS. Did get some things done, but not the major stuff I really need to get finished. Hopefully I can be more productive this week. Ta Da's -Up, shower, meds, ready for work. -Made bed. -Breakfast for all. -Dropped off younger son at school (older son wasn't ready to leave, so he had to walk in the rain...  ). -Meds to dog. To Do's -Supper (probably out). -Put away folded clothes in laundry room. -Fold and put away laundry in dryer. -Wash and dry another load.....put away. -Supervise homework. Have a good day all. |

Hi everyone - Wow - I got off work at noon today. Last week I put in a 72 hour week so this feels like skipping school!!!  I missed you all last week. All I did was work, eat, sleep, shower and repeat last week. This week my company is restructuring my position -- hopefully it will all come out for the best for my client and for me -- or I may be transferred who knows. I feel good about the work I've done so I have no real concern. I also believe that sometimes new doors open that are even better - so I have an open mind. A big meeting is to occur at 3 pm -- which I was not officially told about but I know is happening anyway. At this moment I don't know where or when I'm to report tomorrow. My day so far......... Up, shower, dress, eat Work 8 - noon - *Took my client to her blood test/wheelchair & all * Helped her by organizing her room and cleaning it * Cleaned the entire house (except the kitchen where she & her mom had company) * Gave her meds * Made her lunch * Assisted her to bed and clocked out Called the medical supply store about a retractable badge holder Called my husband to let him know I am home - surprise, surprise Go to medical supply store Pick up supplies for my motherinlaw Cook supper Look for one more pair of scrub pants Call my company this evening to see what time I am to report tomorrow. |

___________________________________________ There were more questions than I thought on Dad's medical questionnaire. I've got ten of 19 pages done, plus printed off copies of his medications list, HIPAA, and POA-HC. Most of the questions don't really apply to Dad at this point, but there are funny gaps in his abilities that don't fit into any of their categories. His evaluation is set for Wednesday. Visited Mom. We were watching television in the common room when Mom said she wanted to watch the television in HER room. Rather than argue that she'd never had a television because she couldn't remember how to operate one anymore, I took her to her room. No television. "But I watched it all afternoon!" We opened cupboards, closets, drawers, looked behind pictures. I told her I didn't think she had one. She insisted she did. We looked some more. Mother eventually agreed there wasn't a television currently in the room. She never admitted she didn't own one, but later admitted that she'd had a bad day with her memory. My poor Mom. ___________________________________________ Razy - It is hard to establish new routines when you aren't comfortable with your new daily schedule yet. Can you manage a few "basic" tasks to keep things going? lessismore - Glad you got a postponement. Give that thesis your best shot!  djdj - I'm impressed that you got so much done on so little rest. That said, get some sleep soon, sweety. You can't run indefinitely without it. Eagle - Knowing how filthy home carpeting can get, I hate to think what a restaurant carpet would look like! Going over it five times sounds exhausting. No wonder you were tired. AnnieOkie - It's amazing how far off-stride a rough commute can knock us. You'd think that after a few minutes we'd get back on track, but no... Hope you settled by the end of the day and felt caught up. Chris - Welcome back! Missed you. Hope the restructuring at work goes smoothly and it makes life a little easier for you. Lilith - Wow. That's a lot of laundry you've done today! Good work. |

I am following up late, but it is important for me to do this for myself..... To Do's from Monday:-Supper (probably out).- Done.-Put away folded clothes in laundry room.- Not done, they are still there.-Fold and put away laundry in dryer.- Folded, not put away.-Wash and dry another load.....put away.- Washed and dried, still in dryer.-Supervise homework.- Done.I don't know what is wrong with me lately. I was doing pretty well on maintaining the little I had gotten done, just having trouble keeping up, not to mention making anymore headway on the rest of the house. *Edited to add.....I did throw away three pairs of old jeans...one that I had let mildew and two that don't fit anyone anymore. I guess every little bit helps.  |
