Why are you learning Japanese? puppybox That is amazing! 1) finish dishes so that all are drying on countertop or in the dishwasher which means I have to unload dishwasher 2) laundry 3) make beds x 3 Making our bed required some effort. Her Royal Naughtiness was snuggled down. Decided that it was a good time to catch her and do some clipping of the royal nails. She's older so they grow very thick and we have to keep on top of it or they grow back toward her paw pads. DH holds her and I clip. She complains. The other cats complain in spirit. God Forbid the Princess is in distress. Anyway, she is now royally pi$$ed and under the bed. BUT - I was able to change the sheets and make our bed! Bonus: Gave DH his list Vacuum all accessible areas, mop at least kitchen and cat litter. Next: 1) PEEP 2) Clean guest bathrooms - shouldn't be too bad 3) clear and wipe down countertops.

1) PEEP GOOD ENOUGH 2) Clean guest bathrooms - shouldn't be too bad Bonus: did our toilet too. 3) clear and wipe down countertops. Bonus: filled all the diffusers. As a "cat house" - I like to have a "house scent" that isn't eau de litter. Having a party here in a couple weeks - need to get more supplies. Second bonus: laundry switch including putting away two sets of sheets that I just took off the guest beds. Starting to do clothes laundry now - might as well since I'm home. I actually evaluated and spot cleaned a large stack of cloth placemats that had been sitting in my laundry room for ages. Just a reality check - a bunch were for Thanksgiving and I'm not 100% sure it was Thanksgiving 2018. Took me all of 15 minutes. NEXT: 1) find lunch 2) fill hummingbird feeder 3) clean and fill one cat fountain 4) review recipes against final grocery list and take out stuff to soften and get to room temperature

1) Get ready 2) Go to store 3) Do cat fountain on return Resting - store wasn't horrible but then again I wasn't buying traditional stuff - I was buying odd stuff. Trying to keep the tempting chips and crackers out of the house for as long as possible. 1) Cat fountain 2) Make dish #1- pumpkin cheesecake 3) Make dish #2 - sausage dressing

I am also impressed that you are learning Japanese and ASL, puppybox ! two languages and cultures that I have long been fascinated by.
My stated goals are to unpack and plan today. So far I have mostly napped. As far as those goals go:
DONE: unpack toiletries unpack jewelry--might take them out of their baggies decided not to go to DPs today--too tired, want to conserve my energy for the morrow
NEXT UP: turn on the TV for company put on shoes bring heater into studio

took "before" pics so I could put things back as I found them (she is messy!) found a bin to pack things into started vacuuming

yumm sausage stuffing. ty mylittlescholar! i have lot more time/energy/motivation now that i have good drugs that aid breathing. doctors were never very concerned with my breathing complaints but now that i do have drugs i realised not breathing well ruined my life for at least 20 years. i still have great difficulty with peoples perfume and cigarette smoke. taking the bus means getting a headache. and angry.
i did my list and practiced orchestra pieces a bit (not enough). it was calming to update my bullet journal even though i'd missed 5 days. it helps organise my head.
To do: i need to take a shower and wash my hair ideally and exfoliate my feet but i think no time. gotta practice. reboot laundry at maybe 9:15 or :20 take dogs for pee/walk a

Cat fountain? Make dish #3 - cranberry chutney Make dish #4 - spinach dip Guests are en-route. DH is picking up take out. Kitchen is cleaned. I have two pans soaking and the dishwasher is running. Now I'm going through a cookbook looking for an overnight breakfast casserole. Hoping it is just mix and put in the fridge and I don't have to cook anything more tonight. I've walked almost three miles today just doing housework. And, I thought I was in maintenance Will probably get back here on Friday - Happy Thanksgiving to all the US people and happy Thursday to everyone else! PC

Hi weekday WITty peeps. I had great intentions for after work. After running a few short errands, I petered out and wasted hours watching detective shows! Good grief. It is now midnight.
Ta-da: Liquor store Gas station Grocery store for a few things
To-do: Put on radio and make a mug of tea. Plug in devices to charge. Make a few items for tomorrow and clean up after. Scoop. Rinse things I hand washed, and hang up.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the USA. All the food sounds delicious!
It's just another Thursday here, with no excuse for a big feast but I'm thankful it was a good day despite that.
