Yay - bed has been made! I had to wait until kitty settled down somewhere outside the bedroom because she loves to play in the sheets and it takes a lot longer to make the bed. It's very cute, but I don't have the patience for that today! So, I moved her kitty bed downstairs to the LR couch, showed it to her and now she's happily snuggled in down there and I was free to make the bed.
TA DA 15 minutes upstairs tidying Took dirty dishes downstairs 10 minutes downstairs tidying Cleared off bed & brushed off crumbs Made bed with clean sheets! Brushed mouth guard
TO DO Deal with kitty pans Replenish kitty food and water 5 minutes look for old receipt
I'm addicted to a video game on my phone and it's taking me everything I have to avoid it this morning!

TA DA Dealt with kitty pans Replenished kitty food and water Have been looking for two receipts that I really want to find, but no luck so far! I thought they would be in two bags of clothes that I want to return (from a year ago!!), but they're not. Argh! It might be too late, I have a year to return and I can't remember when I bought the stuff. Cleaned out purse while looking for receipts Made and ate breakfast snack
TO DO Look in tote bag with recent papers - receipts in there? Take dirty dishes downstairs 5 minutes kitchening Move chair from foyer to LR - will use for putting lights on tree

Hi, seahorse and BetsyMarie. Got dressed. Wrapped present and delivered it. Bought snow brush/ice scraper for car to replace the one I'd given away. Continue going through the old mail. Put the Goodwill items in a box. Cook some potatoes and chop up for hash browns.

I'm so pleased. I just learned today there is a charity/donate drop-off box about 2 miles away -- and for a charity I'm pleased to support. There was another drop off close-by for another group, but they moved too far away a few year ago. Now I can collect and pack things up, and drop them off when I pass by. done: -packed 4 more boxes for charity, will drop off these and others already in the car this week (if their bin is large enough). -fed the cats -fed the humans todo tomorrow -weather permitting, fill green can -top off trash and take to the street -take out recycling Time to turn on the holiday lights. Bling, bling!

BetsyMarie, I'm glad you found a charity drop off site near you! There are a couple places around me that just take clothing, and I want to get rid of more than clothing. Yesterday I woke up feeling sick to my stomach. I pretty much stayed in bed most of the day. When I tried to eat, it all came back up. I'm feeling better this morning. ta-da: Nothing really yet to-do: release the chickens... their automatic door didn't open yet. I haven't taken the time to program it yet, but yesterday when I looked out, it had already opened, so I thought I might be able to leave it. Give meds to cat Take recyclables out to the main road Figure out what I can eat that won't unsettle my stomach. Most of the food I keep in the house if very high fiber, and I don't want to overdo the fiber just yet. Laundry... my bed sheets need to be washed along with a bunch of clothing/towels Dishes... DH put dishes in the dishwasher yesterday, but they need to be rearranged, and then it needs to be run.

ta-da: Went out to check on chickens, automatic door had opened. Gave cat her med Started a load of laundry
reorganized stuff in dishwasher (There is still room for a few more things) Got some of the recyclables ready to go out. I will look to add a few more things
to-do: Continue with laundry Food prep for this week's meals Lots more, but since I was sick yesterday, I'm going to take things slow, and take frequent breaks.

Having a good local charity drop-off makes it so much easier to get rid of stuff. I'll drop off some tomorrow to see. There is a good local easy place for books too, with a charity I appreciate, and I've gotten rid of boxes and boxes there, and even more can go. With the internet, I just don't use real books much anymore. I used to have 100+ cookbooks alone. why? Ally Glad your chicken door is working. And I hope you are feeling better. This morning: -the cat shuffle -water filter attended to -minor pupa in kitchen Todo: -fill green can, weather permitting -take out recycling and take bins to street for morning pickup -take charity boxes to the car for tomorrow drop off. Yippee!

Moved laundry to the dryer Took recyclables out to the main road Called into a CLA meeting but quite honestly I wasn't very focused Took a rest Eating some yogurt with applesauce to-do: I'd like to wash the bedsheets later this afternoon. Food prep for tomorrow's work meals There is a little work I'd like to do on the chicken coop just before dusk Continue to take naps or catch up on rest between tasks.
