Great to see so many participating in this thread!
Sweetsunshower, WTG on cleaning up after kat/Kate. And only 14 minutes for an "impossible" task!
I am having a brain tornado right now. So I came here to try to sort it out a bit.
TO-DOS:
Clean up houseplant mess I made
Email doctor about cold sores? ( I have had about 6 outbreaks in the last year.)
Fold clean clothing explosion.
Calenderize low tide dates.
More research on tide pooling, including potential hazards, critters, field guides I have, logistics, suitable locations.
Plan for Orchid Show tomorrow.(Obligated myself to attend.)
Sort through my task list and calendar on phone and reorganize plans.
Add upcoming classes to my phone calendar.
Figure out how to best use my paper planner.
Complete medical record request and get it to current clinic. (The form I did yesterday was specifically radiology.)
TA-DAS:
Dressed, ate, meds.
(Embarassing, changed into disposable panties, loose bowels today. But barely avoided messy accident! Upcoming Gastroenterologist appt for this. And have guests staying, so accident could be even worse!)
Decided to skip ukulele meeting, too many other things going on.
TA-DAs from yesterday:
Completed form at clinic to request previous mammograms.
Shower at Y after mammogram
Mammogram eat Singing class
Pick up song list at UPS store.
Printed song sheets.

Good afternoon, guys and dolls! I feel as if I had a late start, but that's because of all the little things.
TA-DAH 1. Dishes put away 2. Packed up surplus cups, etc. I realized I never use the full-sized dinner plates, and that idea snowballed from there. I will have two boxes to donate when I'm through. 3. Stripped and threw out sheet set. This is such a hoarder anecdote btw. The bottom sheet was pulled and the top sheet was see-through, but I kept using it rather than the TWO sets I had neatly folded in the linen closet. (And that's not counting the luxe set for the guest room and the queen sized set for the food-out sofa.) But I'm finally ready to treat myself as worthy of the "good" stuff!
TO DO 1. Laundry 2. Attempt to save burnt pot aka "Dutch oven" 3. Drop of library book, canned goods, and two boxes of dishes.

Next up: 1) clear off kitchen counters - Done! But a lot of delayed decisions - just moved some stuff in to other piles not in the kitchen 2) organize clothes for dry cleaning and gather the dry cleaning recycling - plastic bags and hangers - derailed - DH was looking for paint which required an act of God to move stuff in our storage room to find 3) Come back and post - probably last group until I return this afternoon - See #2 plus SooS has been acting funky WOW - lots of posters - really is the party place today! Ambitious weekend (spring fever anyone?) Back from lunch with my friends - have about 2+ hours before getting ready for dinner with another couple. What to do - what to do? 1) Check laundry and re-boot 2) Dry-cleaning pick up. 3) come back and post

This really hit home for me.
