i cleaned my keyboard and shorted something out
Uh-oh scholar, I hope it dries out!
I'm counting today as a loss, nothing done--hopefully after tomorrow things will return to normal.
Next:
Hang up clothes from dryer Pigeon care Feed parakeets Give everyone fresh water

Thanks wildpony I think you got loads done. Diane I think you should not count today as a loss look at all you listed. You did a lot I did take it easy today. I spent quite a bit of time resting. Did go to grocery store for weekly shop and put all groceries away Cooked dd a simple dinner. Thankfully she wanted something super easy. Did dishes. Fed cats. Cleaned litter. That is it!

A subdued greetings to one and all. Things could be better.
Lots of things seem to be going wrong. An entire folder full of emails disappeared, so far can't get them back. I am still struggling with the all-purpose room. I'm fighting with everyone including myself.
And last year, under the influence of sleep deprivation, we bought a second new bed and kicked me out of my own office to establish a 'guest room,' so I could be 'normal'. You know, like other people. A guest room for people who don't exist.
Well, the expensive, never-used bed in there no longer exists because we donated it away. I feel like a fool for wasting money on it in the first place. Slowly getting my office room back.
I'm in an all-around down mood. But thanks to mylittlescholar, I now know where to click to access emojis. Thanks.

Procrastination Sunday... physically it's been productive, although over perfectionist.... That feeling that if I get it RIGHT this time , then all will be well....
Dissatisfaction with the poor organization in the kitchen has been annoying me, so this weekend is being an Attack-The- Kitchen weekend.. so lots of rearranging of furniture and contents, yes, it's sort of satisfying,, but,,, I know that I really should be looking at alternative jobs, since my current job is getting on my nerves... ...
Anyway I've started, so i'll have to try and complete today's task, it never ceases to surprise me how enthusiastic I can get for a task, when I am avoiding something else nerve wracking,

It's a hard learning experience nonchalant . At the time, you were following your aim, goals and aims do change, try not to beat yourself up .

Good morning, everypony!
(((nonchalant))) I hope you feel better soon! It's easy to get down on oneself for dumb decisions when depressed. But, like you said, you were thinking it was a step towards "normalcy." Just not your normal. Probably one of those things you couldn't have known ahead of the experience.
notanotherdecade I love that mysterious energy that "structured procrastination" gives me. I get a lot done that way.
magda I hope you get another day of rest..
Diane I just realized my keyboard is working again! yay! (and Phew!) I don't know where that "paragraph" character hides out. He only shows up when it gets wet.
DONE: last night after helping DM with her website, as I pulled into my driveway, I remembered that I didn't get milk. so I hoped I would be able to rally myself for one more errand (it was still early). quiet time w/ Spooky get dressed go back out! get milk heck, go grocery shopping while I was at it and they had Princess Luna and that cute whale from Finding Dory (to go with the Mermaids) home again home again unload car put everything away more PEEPing back in bed
this morning check email listen to phone mtg make coconut lime water
okay back to bed for me

Hello everybody! Just woke up...It's 8:51 here in Pensacola. I grabbed my laptop to see what Ya'll were doing. I'm having allergy eyes ATM. I want to have a very productive day filled with a lot of cooperation from DH. He is impatient and I get on his nerves a lot. I hope I can navigate my way through it without saying a lot of expurlatives. We have a bedroom floor project that has been looming for a few years (putting wood down) My daughter asked if we could work on it today...It is her room.

Good morning everyone! Last night I degreased further (I got desperate and tried boiling water with some success), started a load of laundry, and PEEPed. I'm going to try ammonia on the last of the grease and definitely call it "good enough" if that doesn't work. Next: Ammonia on the grease (I'm going to let it sit for quite a while) sweep livingroom ceiling corners for cobwebs laundry ONWARD!

Hi, everyone. I'm going to try working in here a bit. So far, I have made my bed, dressed, cleaned out one kitchen cabinet, and emptied the bottom shelf of the second one. Next up is to find space to empty the top shelf and put things back in some kind of order.
ETA: I emptied the top shelf, wiped down the shelves, and replaced items where, hopefully, I will be able to see what's in there. I had several things that had expired in 2015.

Happy Sunday everyone! I'm treating this as a real weekend and not pushing myself too hard -- and I do feel quite a bit better in spirits so it must be working! DONE: * shower * nice breakfast here at home with DH * trip to walmart craft section -- found the blue yarn I needed in the 100% cotton * contacted niece made plans for later today to drop off some stuff * bullet journal work Now I'm back to crocheting. The craft show at the tea place is Friday. I may or may not show anything there but even if I don't, I plan to open the etsy shop eventually so in addition to the meditative quality of working on the pouches and projects, eventually I will be offering them for sale. Didn't go to church today. I do plan to call the minister and take her up on the individual meeting. Possibly being able to come to a better understanding why my volunteering in the past has failed. Will have to proceed with caution as they/we are in the usual position of asking for volunteers and money. It would be nice if I could keep boundaries and rehab this -- but I waver back and forth -- and I plan to be totally honest with her about the overwork and lack of help in the past. If I do make it in. We'll see if she's available. Tomorrow I will call and leave the message with the times I could potentially meet with her.

Hi, chris. I'm glad you're taking time for yourself this weekend. Except for a brief visit to my folks' yesterday, that's what I'm doing, too. I just took Prissy for a walk. It is cold and damp outside. It is misting, and we got a little wet but not too bad. I have two more kitchen cabinets to clean out. It feels good to get the large one done. First, I think I'm going to have some lunch.

Well, I got an earlier-than-usual start. Not by much, but it's something. Sister-in-law's boyfriend wasn't able to install my stereo because I got a wrong part. Unfortunately, he didn't realize it was the wrong part until he had done the entire installation. So, he had to take it all apart. He's going to Best Buy today to pick up the right part, and he'll try again this afternoon. While SIL was here, she went into my boys' room. It's a disaster. I mean, horrible. Like, you can't move around without stepping on stuff. I was so embarrassed. But, there's nothing I can do about it now. I just hope she doesn't tell her mom.
Anyway, so far I have: Eaten brunch (leftover spaghetti from last night) Taken a shower Dressed to socks (no shoes in the apartment)
To do: Get boys dressed Gather stray laundry Sort laundry

PerrinJade, I hope things work out with your car stereo and with your SIL seeing your boys' room. You are working so hard, and I know you've accomplished a lot. I just finished lunch and am having coffee. I watched an episode of "Hoarders: Buried Alive" that was a follow-up on several people whom they had helped before. I took away from it that, even when we backslide, there is still hope, and we can continue working our way out of the mess. Next up for me will be a bottom cabinet in my kitchen--the one with all the tablecloths, bowls I never use, Christmas tins, etc. It should be interesting, as I like everything in there. But I've got a good donation box going (it's in my car trunk, so I won't be tempted to remove items), and I'm looking forward to adding things to it.
