Just a quick drive by I swear y'all are keeping me sane...
I left a message for my sitter/ride. I am learning the principle that The More Stressed/Uncertain I Am, The More Communication The Better, which, of course, is opposite my default of Go Hide In My Cave!
DONE: looked up Nei Kwan accupressure point (for wrist bands)

hello everyone hey mylittlescholar, just think of the fun times ahead, relaxing in the deck chair and spending quality time with your DA. You will get there. I have a load of washing ready to hang, but first I need to put away the clean clothes in the laundry basket! back soon, I hope.

Thanks, jendela!
I just texted the sitter I probably wouldn't be ready by 6:00... trying to just stay in the moment.
DONE: called Landlady, Handyman, told them I was leaving town, etc. they were happy with me, so that was the right thing to do DLL explained she was mixed up about the gas bill (I thought so) emailed everybody with everybody's contact info I realized that I needed a bigger suitcase looked up carry on sizes to see which smaller one to swap out as I thought, bigger one was too big packed all not clothing into big suitcase figured out what clothing to pack in carry ons put stuff I'm not taking away in a drawer which cleared off the bed brought small suitcase into bedroom
ack sitter texted me back asking if I can make it by 7:00 cause she has early AM appts... I'm giving her all she's got, Cap'n! Or something like that.

My fingers on my right hand are green!! Food coloring had spilled and I wiped it up! made dinner and cleaned up. picked up and tossed a blanket that shredded into fuzz in the dryer (a week or more ago) while there (on the floor) I picked up piles of lint. I will place a garbage can there to collect the lint. for now I have a bag there.
someone just rang our doorbell...heart in my throat....made husband go ************************
my son left the front door open and the dogs got out. people were trying to get them back in the house. and of course there is a mess right inside the door.....sigh.....
last load is washed and hung. travel ban - no driving on the roads. daughter is stranded at a friends house. car is off the road and in a driveway.
going to run the dishwasher then climb in bed. no idea if I will be able to get to work tomorrow. or what I will wear....I do know where my boots are11111

Magda, good work on tackling your taxes! Scholar, I hope the rest of the evening goes according to plan--you can relax once you get to the hotel. Ohblondie, I'll hope for a second day off for you tomorrow. Good day jendela! I hope you get a lot done today. I'm home, I've eaten dinner, and I'm watching political news. Scoop litter pans Give everyone fresh water Restock drinks in fridge Check locks Diane

Good day Diane, hope it isn't too cold where you are. I have the opposite problem I finally did the dishes and 2 lots of hand wash delicates. Now I feel like reading for a while, then it will be time to bring in the laundry.

Jendela, I think it was in the low 20s today but the wind chill index was 13 degrees. And, beautiful snow covering everything! So I'm happy!
How is your donation box plan going?
I'm finished for tonight, I really look forward to lying down! I'm feeling a little achy from all the shoveling and extra walking, I went to a store after my evening walk so that I wouldn't have to go out tomorrow until my 2 late afternoon walks. I'm really ready to sleep! Good night, see you tomorrow.
Diane

Hi Diane, well I got one red bag of donations out plus the ugly CD holder. Having a special red bag is making a difference.
What is really impacting me at the moment is the heat - I can't seem to get any momentum going, and I'm struggling to keep up with the basics. Anytime that we get a cool day I feel I should use the extra energy for other important things, like doing the bare minimum yard work. I am hoping that now we are at the equinox, the weather might start to cool down & I will get a burst of energy before winter.

OK - got up and ready for work - then saw that school was cancelled (I don't have kids in school anymore but I use the school closing as a determining factor as the school rarely closes).By then I was dressed and ready to go so hubby dropped me off at work. Pulled in and only 2 cars in the parking lot. I am so tired - going to be a long day....
OK - I will focus on reviewing cases and throwing out paper.
Areas around me got close to 30 inches of snow. We got about 25 or so.
Hubby's friend has a plow and comes by and plows the driveway for us. That saved us yesterday! We still got 6 inches or snow after he plowed but it was the light fluffy stuff. We shoveled out just enough to get out of the driveway...

Good morning! Jendela, I certainly sympathize with not being able to have energy in the heat, so maybe your donation decluttering has to wait. Are there things you can do while just sitting in front of an air conditioner or fan? Like paperwork or something--that way it's not strenuous--at least not physically! Ugh--your looking forward to winter means my summer is coming soon. Ohblondie, you are a trooper to go into work today! Hopefully the quiet will help you get things done--you can clean your desk or empty out boxes without a lot of scrutiny from your co-workers. I am home today until 4:30, so I hope I can make the most of it. Make bed Scoop litter pans Pigeon care Eat breakfast Diane
