Welcome to October! 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 [img title="::DHOuhrZSdWDogygTivLY:: " src="::DHOuhrZSdWDogygTivLY:: . . . 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!

A new month. Freshly started! I cleaned bathroom yesterday. Is swish and swipe meant to be just a half-done toilet clean.I think of it as a full scrub. I took everything off the sink and used a scrub brush to get the edges around the faucets. Sink looks great empty but you need soap and toothbrush equipment. to do clean bedside table clean coffee bar clean bathtub in hall bath ta da bathroom dishes toss something/anything

Good Day WITers! goldenthreads, Oh No! Not winter tires already! (I don't need them yet... but...) I got up early this morning to go to the bathroom, and was fine, but then woke up again, at dawn, and got up to let the chickens out... but my back was in spasms. I did manage to let them out, but then came back inside to take a break and try to find some relief for my back. After a rest, and watching a youtube video, about back spasms; I got up carefully and made some breakfast and ate I, very carefully, emptied the dishwasher. There were a few things I did not put away because of the bending required I'm going to try to rest my back a little more now. to-do: My intension was to plant the garlic today. I'm going to wait until later... too much bending involved... Rest my back, do some gentle movements ?
