Having Spring Fever isn't helping matters.
I must focus!

No idea what prompted my back issues last night. I put on one of those salon past heat type patches. I also took a pain pill and tried to get to bed early. Usually the pills knock me out and I sleep great. That didn't happen last night but I got a somewhat decent sleep. And the back is better today.....wahoo.
I was a minute or so late to work....and had to walk into a huge group stand outside an office meeting. UGH......
It snowed today, I had everything ready but I kept dropping stuff including my ID and building pass. I couldn't get the parking pass to work then I parked in the wrong spot and had to move......
Things are much better now. I got 5 mins to eat part of my lunch!
I bought bags of chopped salads from the W box store. This had kale and craisins. Quite delicious and very easy! Trying to bring lunch every day.
Ok. Back to a meeting .....

Good morning ohblondie and scholar! My internet went out shortly after my last post, I called right away instead of doing what I usually do, waiting and then finding out that it's a problem with my own system and then having to make an appointment for a tech to visit. Well, this time they said it was a neighborhood problem and they were working on fixing it. I checked the tv and that was out too. But, both just came back on, so I hope it's permanently fixed. While waiting for my internet to return I called my decluttering client, and then the pest control company--today when I called the exact same number as last night, I got yet a DIFFERENT company name--that's four different names. I had to leave another message. I also called my relief walker and then went out to meet her and give her a payment. I also had lunch, so I will go back to working. Clean up after lunch PEEP in kitchen Clean out dishpan Wash more cat food dishes Diane

I'm sorry you had a rough night, ohblondie. I hope your back is doing better today.
Diane, I'm sorry you're going through so much frustration with the pest control company. The episode I watched last night was my favorite as a kid, but it's not my favorite anymore. It's the one where Riker, Data, and Worf all get trapped in the casino hotel, and they have to finish out the book that the hotel is based off of in order to leave. My actual favorite is the one where Riker is in an alien mental hospital, and they're trying to convince him that his life in Starfleet was a delusion.
I've been fairly busy, but I'm falling behind a bit. At least I don't have to take up 30 minutes waiting on T since he's on spring break.
Done: Got the boys dressed Dressed to socks Piercing aftercare Grocery shopping - I stayed under budget by $25. Put away groceries Lunch
Next up: Sort laundry Start wash load Unload dw Lunch and breakfast dishes to dw Clean off/wipe down surfaces Sweep kitchen

Diane, it's called Frame of Mind. If you have Netflix, TNG is on the streaming side. It's toward the end of season six.
I cleaned up the kitchen and flipped the laundry. I even remembered to not the time, so I could do the next flip at the right time.
Next up: Tidy living room Tidy master room Tidy bathrooms Tidy desk

I'm having more and more down days. Not fully depressed, just blue. I just went through a short depressed episode. It was barely even an episode. I hope I'm not starting another and, if I am, I hope it's short-lived and mild like the last one. If I suddenly stop posting, I've probably given into the urge to lie around or hide in some other way. I'm going to try not to, though. Anyway, I managed to get everything done.
Next up: Flip laundry Fold load 1 Clean off loveseat

Actually Pamela, I have the box set of DVDs so I just need to look for it there! I found that I had sandpaper, I didn't think I did--so I did the first step on the LL kit, which was sanding all the pieces. And I only got one splinter, which I was able to get out right away! Next: Do some PEEPing in DR Look up birds I saw yesterday Make list of priorities Diane

Pamela, you don't have to stop posting, even if you're not doing a lot of work--maybe if you post you'll do one or two more things than you would otherwise! My productivity goes up and down, but I keep posting--otherwise it's so easy to drift off and forget about all the things I'm supposed to be doing.

That's a good thought. I don't know if my automatic guilt tendency will keep me from posting when I'm not working, but it's something to keep in mind.
It's only 39 F out, and I'm thinking about turning on the air. I don't know why I'm so hot.
Next up: Flip laundry Hang hang-dry clothes Put away load 2

Okay, I have put virtual sticky notes on my computer screen for the 10 most important things I have to do--that way I can rearrange the importance, if necessary.
And the birds I saw yesterday are dark-eyed juncos, which I guess only come here in the winter, the rest of the year they are found in Canada and the western part of the US.
Next:
10 minutes on books Clean toilet Clean bathroom services Get dog walk bag ready to go

Hi Blondie, Scholar, Dianne, Pamela and anyone else who's around. I've only read back the current page bc time is tight today.
Blondie, good on you for taking your lunch in. I am planning to do that when I return to work in a couple of weeks. It saves so much money as well as resulting in healthier lunches.
Diane, that pest control company sounds dodgy!
Pamela, I too have depressive episodes. I used to have hypomanic episodes too but they are rare now. I miss them a bit. There were issues, but I got a lot done in those times and I think it's one of the reasons I struggle so much with the house now. A part of me keeps waiting to get caught up in that big wave of activity..... I hope you can prevent a big crash. Diane's right, it's good to keep posting, but I can rarely make myself write when I am very low. And when I do, what I write is so bleak that I wouldn't want to show anyone.
Oven guy came yesterday. I got the house ok enough that I felt alright about letting him in. It is still messy but looks like there is work in progress now. I wasn't impressed with him though. He looked at it for less than 5 minutes and said I need a $150 dollar part that he has to order in. Then I handed over $95 for the service call. He did not offer me a receipt. That would be ok if I knew he was trustworthy but I just got his name from a website and I have my doubts. Anyway, we'll see what happens next, I guess.
