Welcome to February 2024! 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!

Good morning WITers! Happy February. We have been having cloudy, dreary weather for a while now. I'd love to see some sunshine! It looks like the weekend will be sunny. ta-da: Got up, gave meds to cat. She was in such a deep sleep that I was worried that she might have passed for a minute Eating my breakfast currently Started the new thread to-do: My main project is to continue to work on sorting papers. The piles are getting smaller, but I still have piles Check on chickens Make some tea or something else warm to drink, take my vitamins.

ta-da: Deleted a few hundred email messages. I should make an effort to do this on a regular basis, and should unsubscribe, or set up an automatic delete on some of these Took my vitamins and had something warm to drink Gave scratch grains and sunflower seeds to chickens. Reminded DH that trash needs to go out since I can't lift anything over 5kg (10#) and asked him to work on getting tax documents. Loaded dirty dishes into the dishwasher
to-do: Continue to sort and file papers. This is going a bit slower than I hoped, but I have been filling the shredder a couple of times most days, and have a box of paper to recycle. Tidy up kitchen I have one more tax document that I need to access. I think I can file my local income tax since that is a very simple form, and I don't need DHs documents for that.

While I was out doing errand s I discovered my driver's license was missing. I'd stuck it in my pocket earlier in the day and it was now gone. I came home prepared to do a lot of retracing steps, but it was right there on the ground near the door. Decided I'd made enough mistakes, including while driving, that I'd better delay the rest of the errands till tomorrow after a good night's sleep. Hi, oust . Did some paper shredding. Paid insurance. Got library card at new library. Checked out an audio book (12.5 hours to "read" by Monday). Make medical appointment. Continue culling refrigerator items. Tomorrow's errands: gasoline, groceries

goldenthreads, I'm glad that you found your driver's license! ta-da: Up, meds to cat. I weighed her and she has gained weight, which is good. She had gotten really thin last fall. Ate breakfast, sipping on tea Loaded a few things into the dishwasher to-do: I plan to go downstairs, take my vitamins, Add 2 or 3 more things to the dishwasher, then start it. Throw some scratch grains out to the chickens Call into the CLA meeting. Maybe help DH log into his financial accounts? He hasn't been successful yet. I need this info for our taxes.
