HAPPY MARCH, everybody!
Marching forward, 3 steps at a time, or however many steps you want. Let's support each other and do this together! The guidelines for WIT are simple: - :) Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. - :) Do one more little thing. - :) Do another little thing.
- Once you have 3 things done, post them here! - Post the next 3 things you plan on doing. - Go forth and conquer, return and post again. - You aren't required to do the 3 things you had planned on -- just get any 3 things done and then post proudly.
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed, :'( or just need to break your tasks down into something manageable, you are in the right place!
If the next 15 minutes consists of: - Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying - Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash . . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE-DOM !!!
You could post:
Ta-Da's - Took pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Threw away McDonald's wrappers
Then your To-Do's: - Bring plates and glasses to kitchen - Put dirty socks in hamper - Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away.
Whether you do those 3 to-do's, or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post.
Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da! :D
If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.
Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das. YOU DESERVE THEM!!!

Currently waiting my turn to get a benefit letter printed. Office closes in 13 minutes. Three people waiting in front of me,including the person currently being served. IDK if they take care of everyone waiting after closing time. But I am here already.
TO-DO's:
Apply for various programs.(Don't have the papers with me. Boo!)
Get another copy of my benefit letter.
Be early to singing class tonight.
Look for Uke song list in my email, print it when I can.( Not available yet. at about half an hour ago.)
First of the month, Good time to start tracking my spending?
Work at computer at library. Doing my homework for Wednesday's class.
Go to singing class early, teacher said she would work with me one on one.
Share some music books and CDs with classmates tonight.
TA-DAs:
Decided not to rewrite the music. I was doing it to make it easier to read. But I already know the melody. Rewriting would not be a great help.
Added Yoga book and a music book to my Bookmooch inventory. So I am now schlepping those two books around. (I could have left them at the YMCA. )
Made it to my gym class, although late. ( I was famished and bought a muffin and coffee before class.)
Posted Yoga book in my Bookmooch inventory. It is on three wishlists.

Was on a mini vacation and returned yesterday. That and having to run around for an unexpected and unknown (likely short) window to buy some inventory in two locations that are several hours away have had me not posting much. I am keeping up even best I can but am tired and a bit overwhelmed. Tomorrow the cleaning person is coming and I need to get ready for that.
Ta Da
Unpacked from trip folded two loads of laundry sorted mail
To Do

Currently waiting my turn to get a benefit letter printed. Office closes in 13 minutes. Three people waiting in front of me,including the person currently being served. IDK if they take care of everyone waiting after closing time. But I am here already. Is this a benefits letter from SS? If so, did you know you can print a copy via your SSA account online? I did that today. Nice to see you, brenda . Wishing you luck with your DH and the sheets.
