Doin' little things/ wow this is so hard these days:
TA-DA~ *I opened boxes and put things away as best I could right now. *I did an initial/ incomplete but super important clearing out of my fridge. *I bagged up trash! *I broke down huge boxes, whew! *I took the trash and boxes to the trash/ recycling room.
TO-DO~ *Continue to gather/ attend to errant trash. *Clean rabbit's box. *Continue making headway in the bathroom clutter mess! *Give dog monthly flea control tablet.

I'm so sorry about your little kitty, eleanora It's very sad to loose one of the critters and not be able to do anything about it. I've been working on and off today, getting things done at a comfortable, steady pace. Not always willing, but still doing it. -refilled water bottles -2 litters scooped -working in the dining room clearing an old craft project I've not worked on since last winter. Time to get it sorted, labeled, and put in the garage instead of just working around it. todo: -more sorting work in the dining room -laundry -put more misc stuff away But first, it's tea-time again. Oh boy, you and I have the cat cleaning stuff on top of the human cleaning. Done: Some sorting in my bedroom, got a work table so I can stop working on the bed and sleep there instead XD Got a new canvas laundry basket with large handles that isn't broken and lighter to carry Baking/cooking done for the week so I don't have to do anything again until the weekend Todo: ALL BASEMENT STUFF: cellar litterboxes need cleaning (I avoid the cellar because I tend to fall down the steps), dehumidifer filter needs washing, and furnace filter needs changing. So...basically about an hour with basement things Dishes (dishwasher broken and they keep piling up) Soak cat-bombed curtains in a bucket of water (lots of curtains, need to go one to the other and keep refreshing the hot water)

eleanora and BetsyMarie, they other day after posting here, I mentioned that there were 2 cat lovers on this online group I belong to, and when I told her your screen names, she giggled and asked, did you tell them the names of my cats? (Eleanor and Betsy) Eleanor was a senior cat that she adopted a several years ago, and Betsy was one of a litter of 4 kittens she fostered a couple years ago. ta-da: Went out to release chickens into their run. Did some dishes Made and ate breakfast, almost forgot to give cat her meds. to-do: CLA meeting in about an hour Do some tidying up I want to make a batch of applesauce out of "drops" given to me by a local farmer.

Hi all, oxen said: You inspire me today, so your home care is not the only home positively affected by your efforts today. Thanks. ❤️ How sweet. I never thought I'd ever inspire anyone with respect to 'house keeping'. Thank you. eleanora said: Oh boy, you and I have the cat cleaning stuff on top of the human cleaning.Fortunately the cats don't form emotional attachments to the things they leave behind to be cleaned up. But they are constant work. Good thing they are sweet. It's another day here. I have appointments later this morning, but there are still many hours to accomplish things. done: -up -answered emails -did I say 'up'? todo: -turn off lights, open windows a wee bit for fresh air. It's windy -finish clearing dining room table -food prep

BetsyMarie! ta-da: Did dishes Made applesauce (I small batch, 2 more small batches to go!) Got mail. Learned that I am approved for 6 weeks medical leave from work in Jan-Feb. I was hoping to only miss 1 week of work... but I think it will be okay. Threw out 2 jars that I had saved for canning, but don't take standard canning lids... I have been rethinking this decision. Why does discarding things have to be so difficult? to-do: Laundry Some decluttering Prep for work educational sessions

I have no idea. But it does seem a constant. done today, highlights: -pupa in dining room -some nice organization of stuff in the dining room -just spent 45 minutes going through 3 boxes of what likely was 'emergency stowing away' that had been tucked away in the dining room -put a few more things in charity box todo: -take down dry laundry -make grocery list
