Great work everyone!
I am pretty exhausted, though I don't feel I have gotten much done.
Perhaps it is more accurate to say that I am feeling like I am feeling behind and putting out fires. But not much I can do, because of the pressure coming from my son.
On my way to Master Gardener Volunteer training.
Puppybox,
If you have not bought bug stuff yet, I suggest you look into diatomaceous earth. Basically it is really fine 'dirt.' It works by scratching the insect, and the insect eventually dedicated. You and your pets should not breath it, either, but it is not poisonous.
The other suggestion I have is that when I was in a condo, we had a bad roach problem. Always,with an exterminator coming monthly to spray. Eventually, the exterminator sprayed dust into all the cracks, like behind the cabinet above the fridge. He also drilled holes into spaces he otherwise could not access, like below the floor of my cabinets and dusted in there. I did not see bugs after that. (I am sure bugs were still there, because I know they did not do that through the entire building.)
TO-DOS:
Pull loose threads out of my skirt hem. Ride bus to class. (Skirt had been double hemmed, but second hem was ripping out, so cut stitches.) After class, return Christmas ribbon. Exchange materials,at library.
TA-DAS:
Dressed, showered, ate, meds.
Shuffled through old receipts.
Stuffed Christmas ribbon and craft store receipts in a bag.
Packed my backpack for class.

Welcome back, babz25! You have been so productive Ta-da: Got to work only slightly late again. Ate dinner, washed dinner dishes. Fed cats. To-do: I am too tired at moment but hoping after resting a while I can: Scoop and sweep litter box. Take out two cans of trash to street. Will still have leftovers which I will take to landfill on Saturday. Work on needlework? Do taxes? That's about it for tonight unless I get a burst of energy. It's dreary and rainy outside and I seem to feel that way inside. Nap time!

i zoned out, then completed crate, then zoned out, then put a stack of crewel pictures in the crate, found more bugs and killed them. threw one crewell that was in a holey bag into a better bag and threw it away because i saw bugs in the bag sad. it was a nice and big and colourful one. why did i zone out? what a waste of time.

I have to get ready for work. Boo. At least I have a three day weekend Ta-da: Scooped last night. Worked on project for a few hours. Fed cats. Washed up dishes as I use them. To-do: Clean two fresh cat messes (try not to be overwhelmed by cat/s still doing this, breaking the habits/cat pee remediation will be a long process). Get ready for work. Leave on time. Have a good day, WITs. I'll be back after work.
