Everyone is welcome to join in as we work together toward our goals. I've let all the dogs out and one back in and poured my first cuppa. I'll get my morning routine going in a few minutes.

The four legged creatures are all fed and their dishes washed. I've gotten myself from shower to shoes and it's on to the next thing. I have to take the Suburban in to the shop for an oil change. It's taken over 9 months to rack up 3,000 miles. I'll most likely wait while they do it rather than have them give me a ride home or walk it.
I' be back in a little while.

Good morning, Calypso! I have an ambitious list this morning but did not sleep well. So we shall see. The bed is made and sheets are in the washer. Next: - make a trip to Sam's Club - swing by grocery store if Sam's doesn't have what I need - hang sheets on the line - cook chicken breasts - pay an overdue bill - call to have an unauthorized charge removed from my credit card - make appointment for massage for next week - check on neighbor who just had surgery

THanks for starting us off Calypso! Good start on your day Chocolate Truffle....
I got a decent night's sleep but woke up with heartburn. Time to call the doctor to find out why the meds are not working. Thogh last night I went for a walk with my daughter and got a very small scoop of ice cream. That might have caused it so I will wait one more day.
I have to pay my utility bill today. Ugh. I put that off a month I hope it isnt too high. I also have some emails I have been avoiding.
THis is a busy week. Big interagency meeting tomorrow to award a substantial banking conrack then drinks after work. Meeting for our townside Day Of Service on Weds and a committee meeting on thursday. HAIR CUT on friday....FRIDAY IS BIRTHDAY DAY!
I need to keep on keeping on....

Good morning calypso, truffle and ohblondie! Happy Monday to everyone. I slept late because it was beautifully cool again (pretty soon it will be cool everyday--I won't be able to sleep late just because it's cool!) and it feels lovely in here this morning. I'll work on my AM routine before leaving for work. I had another walk added at 1:30 so won't be home until mid-afternoon. Scoop litter pans Make bed Get dog walk bag ready to go PEEP in BR and bathroom Diane

My wheels are all squared away, even my annual inspection since it was due next month I went ahead and got that done too. I've been meaning to shop around for new insurance on both the house and car and started that process. In order to provide a quote the agent needed to know the year the house was built so that was a bit of work trying to track down that info.
I'm going to go back to the sewing room and see how much more I can get done up there while I wait for the agent to call me back in half an hour or so. (Great excuse not to go outside and mow or even to work in the garage).

calypso, good job on the car chores! I do not enjoy those. I have finished everything on my morning list. Now I'm off to take lunch to my neighbor; she had heart surgery last week and despite having a lot of family, nobody is staying with her. So I am going to lay eyes on her, make sure she's okay, and give her a little lunch. Then it's back home, my own lunch, and time to knuckle down and get a few hours of my freelance work done. Then make dinner, and PEEP the kitchen and house.

I cleared up clutter, clothes and trash from the floor so I can walk to the closet without having to step over something.
TO DO: - Wipe dust from closet shelves - Fold washed and dried clothes and put them in the closet - Continue decluttering in the bedroom. Next goal is to reach the desk - Take trash out - Wash clothes

Only a little progress in the sewing room as I stopped to talk with the insurance agent and he will come out tomorrow afternoon to take some pictures of the house and hopefully get the ball rolling on changing over to new coverage. I will save a good chunk of money. I've decided to slightly reconfigure the room but had to spend some time taking measurements of various pieces of furniture and the available wall space, etc to make sure that it will work. I have one 2' wide bookcase up there. My sewing and home decorating books fill one shelf and I changed the other shelves around so that I can put fabric that is on those cardboard sleeves upright the way they are arranged at fabric stores.
It's gotten too warm up there so I'll change over to some other area and maybe go back up later when the day has cooled off a bit. I am feeling very motivated and excited about getting that space done and usable so that I can move forward with lots of projects, both sewing and some other craft things.
I brought down one tote that was in need of a clean up and the fabric in it went in to the washer and is now in the dryer.

Good afternoon, it looks like people are working hard--myohmy, you'll be so happy to have a usable closet that you have a clear path to reach!
My feet are killing me because of being on feet for several hours, but after some rest they should feel better. It's not hot out today, and that makes such a difference in how I feel. I'm now home for the rest of the day, and after I eat some lunch, I'll start working.

Paid my bill - much less than I had anticipated. Taking down the pool has saved so much money!!
Knocked a few items off the TO DO list. Items that had been on there since....june? THat felt good.
I was late to work so I have to work late to make up for it.(I drove and got caught in traffic. Another plus to the bus is I am always on time)
Running to apartment for one or two quick little jobs. I feel better if I am there every day and do something.....
Headed home after that. Need to commit to my bedroom. I dealt with some of the kitchen yesterday and got some hot spots cleared out. Pathway in bedroom is getting crowded...... time to address that....AGAIN!!!!!
I am going to start the difficult conversation with my tenant tonight. She has her son's car in the garage. Her son passed away. I KNOW the emotions she is dealing with around the car. getting rid of it feels like she is getting rid of her son. I KNOW WHAT SHE FEEELS LIKE!!!!! But One of my potential tenants won't move in if they are still there. I do have other potential tenants but they might feel the same way......
Have a great night everyone!

I am going to start the difficult conversation with my tenant tonight.Be strong onblondie! I'm glad your bill wasn't as bad as you thought--it's usually the other way around! Okay, I need to force myself into action here because I want to just sit and relax and I can't do that. I'm going to visit my sister tomorrow which means I have to leave my place in good shape before I go. Put dry laundry away from yesterday Clean up lunch stuff Renew a library book for my client Call client Water plants Diane
