45 more minutes then pee and on the road. My toes are an a constant state of cold.
Load of laundry tonight, maybe two.
Monday we have off for Veteran's Day. I want to take my soldier son out to eat.
My friend doesn't want the state car now. So I will wait til Sunday to return it.
I must remain focused on the kitchen. I really think it is closer than I thought to being "done". I need to sweep and mop and get the island back in place. And dust the ceiling and corners.

When I started cleaning the tub, I went into my pantry to get my knee cushion and my 1-step step stool, which I use for helping me get back up. I couldn't find the stool. I thought, okay, I've been doing work around the apartment I must have left it somewhere. So I looked and looked, couldn't find, then realized I could push myself back up on the edge of the tub so I didn't need it. I finished the tub, and remembered that I took it down with me the last two times I checked the boiler so I could get down on my knees to look underneath where the flames are. But I specifically remember standing back up and grabbing the stool and thinking "that was a waste of time" because the boiler wasn't on at all.
But, where else could it be? So when I finished the tub I went back down to the boiler room and sure enough, it was there, propped against a table near the door of the room. At first I did not remember putting it down there, so I though--could I have left it near the boiler and someone else propped it against the table? This is getting scary, my memory is getting bad. Then I remembered that one of the times I went down there I wanted to open the control box to check something I saw when I was showing it to the board member. It must have been the second time, and I must have propped the step stool against the table so I could go back to the box--but then 10 seconds later I forgot it--my memory IS getting bad. At least I found it...
After cleaning the tub the drain was sluggish even though I tried to wipe the dirt up before rinsing water down the drain, so I plunged it and I think it's back to where it was before. I still have to clean some buckets that were in the tub but that will have to wait for another day.
Once again I have several projects started and haven't finished them. I still have to clean the second bedside table in the bedroom so that that side of the room is all done, and that has two deep shelves so it's a big job. I have to finish the bathroom, I have to finish the storm window project--still haven't done the last dining room window. I have several windows yet to tape with the insulating tape. And for some reason I really want to reorganize the bins under the plant room table so that everything is where it should be.
Tomorrow is another day?
I'm going to eat dinner now, it feels like an "early to bed" night.

Good morning!
I came back last night to update and my internet was out again. So today I'll take advantage of the connection when it's here but expect it to go out again, that way I won't be quite as angry when it happens...
I don't have any goals for today, because as well as my AM and PM walks I also have one at 1pm, so I'm admitting right now I won't get a lot done. That's okay, we're getting SNOW overnight and tomorrow will have an accumulation! I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow, I can stay home and watch the snow falling and get a lot of work done!
Right now I'm eating breakfast and making my list that consists of only 2 items that it would be nice to do today--put down the last storm window and do a load of laundry.
I hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Diane

Hi Diane Snow is coming our way too!
Yesterday I did the grocery shopping, picked up DD (she had a great day)put the groceries away and went to a party
Came home and talked with dd for a bit, then I did the dishes. I was glad I decided to not leave them for today.
Now I have fed cats, cleaned litter and put away the clean dishes
Having coffee and breakfast
I need to rake today because the snow arrives tomorrow
I think my window is from 11 to 1 when the weather will be warmest here, as it is a chilly day.

Good morning magda! Have fun raking!
I'm going to tackle the DR window now, it would be good to have that done early.
Diane

Wow, I got more done than I thought I would. The DR window was the first one that had no problems, so it only took a short time. So I decided to tape the sunporch windows, at which point I found that I never put the storm window down on one of the sunporch windows--I must have told myself I would come back and finish it but never did. So I did that, the screen gave me trouble on that one too so I pulled it out for the winter.
So, all storms are down, and all windows are taped!
Now it's time for me to go to my first walk, I need to get my bag ready and choose some little library books to go out.

Ok theoretically I have been raking leaves for the last 20 minutes.. Yay, ohblondie's home and working. I'm home from my walk, and I have my senior client's dog here visiting with me. Today is one of my senior client's semi-annual lunches that she does and she's gone for about 5 hours. I asked to take her dog home with me between walks so that he's not alone. It's especially nice now, although it also makes me sad that he's not my dog. I'll have to leave him alone for the 45 minutes or so I'll be gone for the 1pm dog walk, but that's okay, he'll be fine. It's very grey outside, it's supposed to rain starting this evening and turn to snow over night and continue to snow in the morning. I have a little over an hour until my next walk, I think I'll work on books until I have to go out. Diane

I finished all of the dishes then found more!!!
I am trying to empty all the bags and boxes in the kitchen. All reusable shopping bags are neatly folded in an old backpack My extra work bag and lunch bag are together. I have so much donate stuff, I need a place to collect it all together. I am donating my big huge big blue enamel roaster. I am keeping the small one.
I keep thinking the kitchen work is smaller and easier than it really is....
But it won't get done unless I go back to it....
