This is the Working in Threes Thread (W.I.T.)
EVERYONE IS WELCOME, especially if you've never posted before!
The guidelines are simple:
- Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous.
- Do one more little thing.
- Do another little thing.
Once you have 3 things done, post them here.
- Post the next 3 things you plan on doing.
- Go forth and conquer, return and post again.
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or
depressed or overwhelmed, you are in the right place!
If the next 15 minutes consists of:
- Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying
- Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen
- Put away phone book
- Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash
. . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE - DOM !!!
You could post:
Ta - Da's
- Took pop can to kitchen
- Put away phone book
- Threw away McDonald's wrappers
Then your To - Do's:
- Bring plates and glasses to kitchen
- Put dirty socks in hamper
- Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away.
Whether you do those three to-do's, or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post.
Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da![/size][/b]
If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.[/size][/b]
Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das.
YOU DESERVE THEM!

Good morning Madtiger. Are you surprised to see me up this early?  I haven't even had my coffee yet!  I have today off, which means that I have to squeeze all of my errands, chores, and shopping into one day,  so I decided to get an early start. TODOS: 1. Breakfast (after I take meds/vites.) 2. Maybe do a load of laundry. 3. Pay bills. (In person, not on line.) 4. Pick up a friend to take shopping. 5. Drop her off, then go see another friend. I have gotten myself in a quandry. One friend wanted me to out with her, #4, and we see each other often. Friend in #5 wants to spend time with me, but with our work schedules, it seldom happens. While talking with her last night, I agreed to see her today, knowing FULL WELL that I had made plans with friend #4. So now I have to rush through my day in order to see both of them.  I do the dumbest things sometimes. Say a prayer for me please, because in my haste to please everyone, I messed up my day off!  3G |

Yes, threeg, prayers are necessary for overscheduling - especially when there is no honorable out - and it looks like you didn't really have one.
Today's goals: and tiger, here, is in a panic!!!
1) finish the minutes from the meeting (Not house keeping, but it's keeping me from house keeping.)
2) get the cub rested. He looks very tired and has been giving us too many tantrums.
3) fold a ton of laundry, but first I must find the laundry baskets.
4) wash Ma's bedspread.
5) pick up prescriptions and buy supper.
So, let's break it down into WIT steps:
1) take today's meds
2) reboot the laundry
3) brush my hair and teeth.

Morning. I have the day off for Veterans Day here in the U.S.
I want to get a lot done.
Recently I have been in therapy and feel like I have grown so much in a month that...I have growing pains. Have to address the hard stuff to feel better.
Anywho,
I'm checking into chat.

*Slept in with my kitties in a cozy bed after SO went to work (he doesn't have the day off)
*Reading some posts and posting after a lot of time spent mostly lurking; I've had too much on my mind
*Been watching our little kitten grow up; his personality and habits, and it's very interesting and sweet.
To Do
*Meds
*Make some coffee?
*Take a shower. No, really. Do it.
