Hi goldenthreads and ClimbingPyramids and wildpony I'm starting to wind down between being up early and the heat. I had hoped to get lots done today, but I doubt that's going to happen. I'll have to be satisfied with the good work already done today, and perhaps more after the sun goes down... or after a nap in 'the cool room'. done: -watered in back -prepared cool drinks for later -made fruit bowl on counter pretty -straightened dining chairs - such a small thing does make everything appear more orderly todo -take artsy things into the cool room to work on later -sort stuff on table in cool room (aka, the laundry room) -check plants in containers in side yard, and refill birdbath

Hi, wildpony. Your clothes look fine from here! Better to be forgotten in the dryer than in the washer (voice of experience). BetsyMarieYou have solved a problem for me. On vacation I bought a pretty bowl with no planned function other than to look beautiful on my coffee table. But the bowl is not growing on me. In fact, I almost dislike the unusual combination of colors. It is so weird that I see it differently now, and a huge disappointment, because I rarely do the visual stuff to upgrade my apartment. I have now put some nectarines in the bowl. Big improvement! Started dishes soaking. Made bed, and had meds. Turned the bowl into a fruit bowl. Pay a bill. Send card. Shower and dress. Wash dishes. PUPA 5 minutes. Purge the small box. Decide what to do with any keepers and do it. Ally I was sorry to hear about your neighbor's son. Even if you're not close, hearing about it sounds painful. Condolences to you and neighbors.

Good afternoon, oust. Had medical phone visit regarding measures I can take to improve my health and lab numbers. Washed dishes. Took out compostables. Pay a bill. Send card. Shower and dress. PUPA 5 minutes. Purge the small box. Decide what to do with any keepers and do it. Figure out why some medicine is missing. Did I run out and not notice?

oustI blew off the balance of Saturday, and all of Sunday. vegged around, skirting depression full meltdown. Had a few teary moments. Monday before work fold put the 2 loads on the bed backlog stripped bed put mattress cover in washer After Work washed dry remade bed: *mattress pad *under blanket *sheets *blanket between the sheet & feather comforter Showered before bed Yay! Love the clean quad-fecta sheets/body/hair/pjs Feather comforter in Kansas, USA? Yes, it's summer and has been running 100* here, but I like to be warm at night. If I'm cold, the pain disturbs my rest.

Oh Mouseann, congratulations! Doing the full bed job is exhausting! But getting to sleep in such a lovely place is great positive feedback. My 3s have been dropping to 2s, but I did finally get my covid shot no2, yesterday, and have booked a haircut for my lunch break today, put the leftover soup in the freezer and checked dh's bread to see if it has risen, may take a while more, very cool here today .need another cuppa already!

Good Morning/Afternoon WITs: I can relate to every one of the posts on here, I know that I've found "my people" . I love y'all Yesterday and the day before have been a see-saw if one thing gets done something else slides. Today, I'm going for a check mark on all fronts, wish me luck . Regardless, I'm doing better than last week. Onwards and upwards! Coffee Quiet Time Fed Critters Review Notes Chapter 1, 2, & 3 Type Notes Chapter 4 Video

I'm with you, BetsyMarie . I need to apply/extend my chair straightening commitment to all areas of my house! Same here. It's part of my August Challenge - not ignoring "the little things", and "beautification" (not just being less messy). (for anyone wishing to participate in the August Challenge: takeonestepatatime.proboards.com/thread/33297/august-challenge-everybody-welcome?page=1&scrollTo=806085 ) It took less time to straighten the chairs than it takes to re-heat a half cup of tea in the microwave. So it's not the time it takes that's the problem, it's more seeing the katty-wampous chairs as being a problem... and then doing something about it when you see it.

Gonna be another hot day (not scorching, thankfully). Hot enough to not want to do much work either inside or out, except in 'the cool room'. But it's not too hot yet.
done: -windows open and fans on while the air temp is still cooler outside than inside. Feels nice. -swished toilet -gathered and put load of laundry in to soak
todo: -walk though house looking for 'little things' to deal with (training session) -sort through donation boxes in entry -put donations into car -check donation acceptance hours.
I'd forgotten I'd done nice work in the kitchen yesterday - it was such a pleasant surprise to walk in there this morning.
