WELCOME TO October WITing!
The guidelines for WIT are simple: - Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. ☝️ - Do one more little thing. - Do another little thing. - Once you have 3 things done, post them here! - Post the next 3 things you plan on doing. - Go forth and conquer, return and post again. - You aren't required to do the 3 things you had planned on -- just get any 3 things done and then post proudly.
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed, or just need to break your tasks down into something manageable, you are in the right place! If the next 15 minutes consists of: - Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying 😢 - Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen - Put away book 📚 - Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash . . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE-DOM !!!
You could post: Ta-Da's - Took pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Threw away McDonald's wrappers Then your To-Do's: - Bring plates and glasses to kitchen - Put dirty socks in hamper - Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away.
Whether you do those 3 to-do's,or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post.
Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da!
If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.
Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das. YOU DESERVE THEM!

Copy a document onto flash drive. Tried; still couldn't figure out how I did it last time. Errand: Went to shop and print out the document bought a new USB-C to USB-A adapter, because the one from Apple is not useful. Errand: Went to pharmacy and picked up drug. Finish taking care of the birthday. Test out the new USB cable. If it works, download the document.
Work 15 minutes on the project. Work 10 minutes on bedroom project. Mow the front lawn.

Louie , glad to see you here. gaylem , mylittlescholar , seahorse --love your keeping-at-it attitude! sweetsunshower , enjoy your sleep, and may you be thoroughly restored tomorrow. Mowed 70% of the front lawn. It got dark. Sunset--it comes faster than I expect, or I'm slower than I remember. I plan to get the rest tomorrow. Tested out the new USB cable. Seems OK, but I don't think I want it after all.
If it works, download the document. Daughter has found a print shop near her, so she'll do it herself. And any other printing she needs from now on.
Finish taking care of the birthday. A bit more to do: obtain and deliver gift. Card sent, phone call made. Work 15 minutes on the project. Work 10 minutes on bedroom project.
Get blood drawn. Finish lawn.
Eat some prawn. Rise with the dawn. Straighten up/clear the table.
