TA-DA: *Continue to put things away that are near established dresser and the new drawers/ storage unit. *Sort through/ organize related storage bags. *I made good progress on nearby clean clothing, some paperwork, and temporary storage/ placement- things are now a bit better than the system I had going before...
TO-DO: *Get "paper explosion" from the caved-in box where it all needs to go. *Set aside books in a better spot before the new bookcase arrives next week (yay)! *Put the storage bags in a good/ better place.

TO-DO: *Quick or not so quick break for self-care to eat, collect myself... *Make the bed. *Find places for the last small bit of books and papers. *Put box(es) and duffel bags and other bags onto bed temporarily while I tidy under dish rack/ folding countertop. *Replace consolidated items using better positioning under the folding countertop. *TAKE A WELL-DESERVED BREAK AFTER THAT.

TA-DA: *Quick or not so quick break for self-care to eat, collect myself... *Make the bed. *Find places for the last small bit of books and papers. ðžI DEFINITELY need file folders and file boxes but for now, I truly did the best I could with everything. *Put box(es) and duffel bags and other bags onto bed temporarily while I tidy under dish rack/ folding countertop. *Replace consolidated items using better positioning under the folding countertop.
**BREAK!**
TO-DO: *Tidy up remaining items in kitchen area, bathroom. *Vacuum whole place! This will wear me out but it needs to be done again. My current vac is not very good so I have to use it more as a result, I am finding. Ugh. *Shower? Hopefully I can squeeze one in after these tasks! Vacuuming makes me sweat, haha...

Fun to read everybody's lists - great job everyone! missjean, oxen, Carrie, soapyclean, doodles, joyinvirginia, twickywabbit Not sure how much energy I have tonight, but I would love to change the litter in the cat pan tonight so that I can toss the used litter out with tomorrow's trash/recycling run. I wrote out all of the steps on my blog (so many steps) and going to break them down in threes here and see if I can get it done regardless of how I feel about doing it. TO DO Find paper towels Find scissors Find bag to empty dirty litter into

Operation change kitty litter is complete!! Yay!! Every step of that process was painful to accomplish (emotionally not physically), but I did it and it's done. Phew, not sure I have energy left to do anything else. Oh wow it's already 10. Well, if I find energy, I will: Brush teeth Put away one dry dish Put uneaten lunch in fridge

YOU GOT THIS. Focus on the before/ after feelings as you *take one step at a time*. ð Encouraging thoughts are now headed your way from oxen!

TA-DA: *Tidy up remaining items in kitchen area, bathroom. *Vacuum whole place! ~ It was indeed kind of intense but I did it! I have clean floors now. ð *Shower! I saw someone cute not long after so it was good to not still be all grubby from the tidying up. *Wash dishes. *BONUS: got stuff from corner store so I don't have to rush there tomorrow!

Hi all oxen clean floor, clean dishes, shopping and someone cute- seahorse well done on tackling a dreaded job, hope you feel like this missjean for life admin. yrwelcome nice to see you back here , good job on maintenance. Some achievements: hung up washing made shopping list did weekly shop wash delicates and finally cleaned out and cleaned the f****ing fridge. I have had on WIT lists for at least a month. In the interest of full disclosure- I still have to clean the freezer, but the worst is done. This place really inspired me to just @%$&ing DO IT. Thank you all WIT folk- To do before I run out of puff: clean toilet fold clean laundry put away clean laundry
It really does!!
