I've been spending much more as of late.
Good thing you have some extra jobs, oust!
I just spent some time trying to figure out the new company that buys books, but got to the point in my registration where I have to put in my address, and it won't accept it. So I sent an email in to their customer service.
Now I have to feed and medicate my cat and I will be ready for bed.
Good night everyone, see you all tomorrow!
Diane

Looks like I am home today. Woke up feeling so nauseated. Ugh.
Laying low til everything settles. Eating an English muffin now....
It is another rainy dreary fall day. Hopefully I can get some stuff done.

Oust, the way you wore your handkerchiefs tied together sounds pretty. You reminded me I need to make an eye appointment....

Good morning ohblondie, nausea is the worst, I hope it passes soon.
This morning it's down to 71 in my apartment, but it actually feels chilly in the front of my apartment where all the windows are. I guess I need to put the storms down.
Shopping first this morning, I think it will be a quick trip so I should be home by lunch time.

Tested my blood sugar and it was sky high. I think that was contributing to my nausea.
I paid a bill online, just in time. Called to find out why my garbage wasnt picked up. The driver claimed it wasn't out. We put it out the night before. I think he skipped our street because sometimes we do forget.
I think I might shower then get to work in the guest room. Then I will pay another bill And book a motel room for next weekend

Long hot relaxing shower done. Lotioned up and dressed. Dry hair next then ready to rock and roll.
I must prepare a water bottle and start drinking. That is part of my problem.

Hi all. I have not posted here since weds night. What a week for our little thread. Hard stuff for several of you. Prayers for a good weekend! I have been doing the usuals. We are fed and and watered. dishes done. litter cleaned. DD driven to and fro! Last night after I picked dd up from her activity, I ironed her a shirt for today. I try to avoid ironing and most of our clothes don’t require it. I felt very virtuous. Just every now and then Also did some more work on paper purging- this will be a long process. I carelessly put all kinds of papers together in the past. I have financial statements, DD artwork and programs from her events, and old recipiets etc ugh. My clean up system may not be the most efficient, but my plan is to do an initial purge, then put like with like, and purge again. I’d really like to have orderly records; I am now ruthless about paper. I recycle and shred what I can right away for new papers floating into my house courtesy of the US mail service . Today Fed cats Made bed Put away clean dishes Cleaned litter Drive DD to school Got ready for work Here at work I shredded and tossed some papers from last night’s purge Last night I had two mishaps. Clogged toilet ugh fixed right away. And spilled water all over couch and papers!! Today is a quiet day at work- most of the powers that be are away.

I got two boxes of stuff unpacked! Two boxes that have been packed up for a couple of years awaiting the kitchen redo. I unpacked the boxes onto the new shelves. Once I get more unpacked I will start arranging and making pretty

Halfway through another box which is so big it should be 2boxes I wiped off another self and the items on it. I should have a staging area, like with like, to make it easier to display items.
I have a long shelf that spans the sliding doors that started this display thing. That shelf plus the new shelf plus my 1950's buffet should be plenty of room just need to decide how to arrange...
But first some soup and a carrot. Well, I peeled the carrot, took a couple of bites, put it down to eat soup, and Cali made off with my carrot! It is good for her so I will let it go and get another carrot!

I have unpacked 3 more boxes. The shelf over the doors is turning out nice. Once I get empty and non decorative boxes out of the way I can get to the other shelves

Hi magda, I'm glad you're having a peaceful day at work. Ohblondie, you are moving today! How much space are you clearing by emptying all those boxes? I'm finally home, I expected to just go to one store which is what my shopping friend suggested on the phone, but when she picked me up she asked if I wanted to anywhere else, so we went to a really good dollar store to browse. I found a bowl that fits all the requirements as a birdbath bowl for the parakeets--a light color so it won't scare them, shallow enough so they can sit in it, wide enough rim for them to perch on it comfortably, and heavy enough so that it's steady. For a dollar! I also bought some greeting cards since they had 50 cent ones that usually sell for $2.50. I bought TWENTY cans of soup. This soup is usually $2.50, on sale now for $1. About half lentil, which is my favorite, but also some of the other vegetarian varieties they sell. Since I eat half a can of soup at a time (with something else, half a can of soup is not enough for dinner for me) that gives me 40 meals that will have soup in it for the winter. And at only 50 cents per serving! Then we stopped for lunch, because we always eat at Taco Bell and my friend told me it was "National Taco Day" so we had to eat there today. It was nice to go out, but now I'm home and looking at all the things I want to get done yet today. I will start by rearranging my food cupboard in the dining room so I can make room for the soup.

Nice sale Diane! I ate my can of lentil soup today. Half for lunch, the other half for a mid-afternoon snack.
As I empty boxes with decorations I am finding boxes with other stuff. All will be dealt with, eventually

dtesposito, i'm so sorry for the loss of your old cat. SetMeFree - how awful your dh would do that to you and i'm glad you are seeing an attorney. if your bank account is joint, can you have it frozen or somehow protected? i read through this week's thread so far, and i hope it is ok to try and join in here. i need to try list threads more and chat less. i'm going to take it a small task or two at a time. i need to: put away clean dishes finish washing last of the dishes fold and put away clean laundry let go of some plastic containers (into recycle) i'll start there. when i get done those i will post any other accomplishments or what's next.

CC, thank you for your condolences. I can't get over how quiet the apartment seems--even though my kitty slept a big part of the day, he was so present when he was awake, he had a lot of personality and needed so much care that he's left a big void. i hope it is ok to try and join in hereI am thrilled to see you join in here! The trick is to keep coming back and trying to do whatever little thing you can do--you change things by repeating tiny baby steps until they become habits and start to change your brain. If you have to post one step at a time, do that. Some days I can only concentrate on one single thing in my mind at one time. But the longer you go in between those tiny baby steps, the more likely your brain erases what you've done. Picture neurons in your brain getting a teeny bit stronger each time you put something away or let something go. I rearrange my food cupboard, threw three old things out, and managed to store all the soup away. Then my sister called, so I've been on the phone with her ever since. Next: Put the rest of the groceries away 10 minutes on my plants Consolidate my partially full baskets of reading material into one Diane
