I see that lots of work has been getting done today! BWBB, maybe you'll get more done today without the phone distraction? I've noticed I've started to feel better when I'm seeing improvements and less depressed for the moment. Myohmy, every little thing you accomplish builds up and makes you feel better--you'll backslide a little, but the goal is to keep getting more and more areas looking good so that you're proud of the way your place looks and then it's not so hard to want to keep it clean. I've been home for a while, ate lunch, rested, read a little bit and will now be productive for 2 hours, then out for my last walk of the day. Clean up lunch mess Put away stuff brought home from sister's yesterday, which includes some food Do quick clean out of fridge and freezer Diane

Everybody's getting lots done! Well done on all your accomplishments. I got one big thing done. That was to make a goat trail to the exercise bike. And push it out from between the two pieces of furniture so it is now usable. The goat trail will get wider. But at least it is now usable. Even though I am doing some decluttering the very long slow way, it is working to consume time so I can do so much and then have a cigarette. So I am able to go about an hour in between. This is much better than chain smoking. So, perhaps some good will come from my slow decluttering efforts. If I can learn to crave less cigarettes at home alone, then it will be that much easier for me to stop altogether. Also, I say affirmations the whole entire time. So, that was a kind of victory for me today. To Do: Eat dinner go to Bible study

sue5000, I got zero veggies in my CSA box ... because it is one of the only "all fruit" CSAs in the country! Today I got 2 pints of raspberries, 1 pint blackberries, 4 gala apples, a bunch of assorted plums, 6 peaches, and some Asian pears. The CSA owners grow berries, and trade with regional fruit farms for the other stuff. It's all organic and soooo yummy. So this afternoon I had a helper come in and start getting some of my piles of filing in order. He made a lot of progress and I can probably take over from here. I picked up my fruit, made a late lunch/early dinner, and now I'm about outa steam because my sleep is all messed up. But oddly, I am noticing that the house is mysteriously staying picked up. I am PEEPING without realizing it.

Vyaspigeon, good work on freeing the exercise bike! Is there a tv or music in the room where it is? That would make it a lot more pleasant to use. I've seen some bikes that have a book holder on them too, does yours have one? I am PEEPING without realizing it.Wow truffle, that's fantastic! Next: PEEP in kitchen File paid bills Open mail from last couple of days Check weather report I am happy to say that I'm almost too chilly right now, and will probably be closing some of the windows soon! It's going to get pretty hot next week though, including a string of high 80s and 90s, so I will have to get through that. But I've had a taste of beautiful autumn and I know it will be back very soon! Diane

I went out to pick some green beans from my garden, and noticed more squash bugs in the squash bed. So I killed a whole bunch more. *shudder* (I would like applause for that, please.)
Then I stir fried the green beans with a leek from my garden, some fresh garlic, and some thyme and rosemary (also from my garden). Deeeelish! I am a new vegetable gardener and pretty pleased with how things have turned out this year, despite the hordes of squash bugs.

I am on a continuous break right now but need to set an additional 10 minutes for it. Ease my way into doing something. Then I will Peep in the bedroom for 15 minutes.

Truffle, I envy you your successful gardening, but not the squash bug patrols! Then I will Peep in the bedroom for 15 minutes. Okay, we'll hold you to it! I'm back from my last walk, another lovely cool night, such a pleasure to walk when it's not quite 70 degrees! Wash cat food dishes PEEP in DR Look at grocery sales papers Restock drinks in fridge Diane

chocolatetruffle well done on the gardening! I'm happy for you about that lovely box of fruit you got today too! What a great assortment! And very nicely done to kill all those squash bugs! And that is super wonderful that you are peeping without realizing it. dtesposito yes, it is in the room where the computer is where we watch videos is. That does make it more pleasant. There's a radio in the room too. It is a "fit desk" so there is a place where even a lap top would be supported. As long as I am not too far into a knitting project it is possible to knit on it. Usually I use the treadmill desk, I walk while I am on the computer or reading from my e-books. It only goes up to 4 mph - but now I can comfortably go about 1 mph. I am trying to speed up for a few minutes at a time. ..... Great job on all you got done today and how wonderful for you on the cooler autumn weather, that must be so wonderful!!!! I am sooo looking forward to cooler weather! I think autumn is one of my favorite times of the year because of the weather. TML Hope you got things going back on track and the bedroom PEEPed and isn't a wonderful thing! I ate a nice salad for dinner and went to Bible study. My mom was happy with the goat trail to the bike. She said she used it while I was out. Now, the big thing on the agenda is to take a shower.

Watered plants inside and ouside, peeped, refilled watering bottles and bought a metal thing that I need to replace to be able to lock my garden doors again. Will have to try if it is the right size when Ï come home this evening.

Nothing like a good night's sleep and a cool morning to feel motivated. Thus far this morning: - garden patrol: squashing this morning's squash bugs, trimming squash plants of damaged leaves, checking the beans for squash bug migration (none so far), watering the tomatoes. - took a 40 minute walk - made breakfast
Next: - shower - call about a medical bill - clean up the kitchen
