Unprecedented--arrived at gas station, and I had no purse. Had to return home for it. I will assume this happened because of inadequate sleep and not some general deterioration. You are on some sort of streak, BetsyMarie! Went to gas station. Went to grocery store. Put away refrigerated items. Put away rest of laundry. Put away the rest of the groceries.

Ally A friend of mine is giving an appetite stimulant to her cat. It is just a small bit of cream rubbed in her ears. Seems to be working very well and the cat has gained over a pound. Usually cats don't mind the "ear rub" as compared to pushing a pill down them.

ta-da: Checked with credentialling board. I have enough CEUs, but can't actually renew my credential until next summer. Moved the laundry to the dryer Spent a few minutes thinking about plans for a vacation next summer. DD, sister and I would like to visit the UK, with some focus on where some of our ancestors lived (2 years ago it was a trip to Sweden for my mom's ancestors.) Sent a message to sisters and DD about when and where, etc.
to-do: CLA meeting Laundry dishes etc.

Hi all. Up and at it. 2/3+ of December remains. goldenthreads , I wouldnt worry about forgetting your purse. Unexpected things just happen. If it or like things begin to happen more frequently, you might be concerned. Or it could just be natural aging. Don't ask how I know... Done: -slight reorg of kitchen items for better efficiency -scrubbed 2 large pans -organized soiled dishes for washing -opened 22 pound bag of kibble and put half in easier to use container Todo: -wash dishes -build lasagna -laundry Lots of fronts to work on today. And more if I think about it. So I won;'t. One of my favorite affirmations - MFA

good morning BetsieM and Ally and Phoenixcat(that cat med sounds wonderful for a kitty)
I filled and started dishwasher. Pre scrubbed a couple of frying pans but there are 3 to go
Brought the white comforter upstairs. I may switch back. The winter one is not heavy but too warm sometimes. My internal thermostat is the thing that is off. Sometimes too cold then switches to too toasty.
Did some banking chores. May buy my tax prep software. They Turbotax have a habit of jumping the price at the start of the month. Amazon has it cheapest. I like the download version these days not the online one- you can switch to form view. so list dishwasher laundry forward paperwork started

Hi, razy BetsyMarie Ally and beesnest! My monthly expenses are about to go down a bit! It was an excellent morning, and it didn't take long with two of us. Project: Meeting w/ daughter to consolidate contents of my storage units. Very grateful to her. 1. Rearranged boxes in bigger unit and removed empty damaged appliance boxes. 2. Emptied smaller unit; swept it out and let the manager know. 3. Made some decisions: some boxes from the small unit into car for me to go through at home, and most into bigger unit. Do some decluttering. Make bed and have meds. Get things from storage unit out of car.
