Good morning/afternoon DustyD! ta-da: CLA meeting, worked on "homework" for next week's meeting Laundry was moved to dryer than mostly hung up and put away. Did a tiny bit of paper sorting. It all feels overwhelming to me, I need to break it down into smaller steps. Got the mail and put it ALL into the recycling bin. to-do: Continue with sorting paper, breaking the task down into smaller tasks. Attacking it all at once gets overwhelming, and I don't end up doing anything but moving it from one pile to another. Last week I was going through mostly stuff that could be shredded and that was easier. Help DH with cutting cats claws and logging into his financial accounts. (This has been on my list for days.) Amazon order?

Hi Nael_C! ta-da: Helped DH get logged into 2 different financial accounts. Got tax info for one, the other one won't be ready until next week. (He had the security setting on his computer so tight, that it was preventing him from logging in.) Ate some lunch Put a few papers away. to-do: Continue with filing papers, just a few at a time Maybe play the dice game for an hour or two.

Done, sort of -Long walk at park (last nice day for awhile) -Broken zipper pull - I ended up using some vinyl to cover the hook that was catching, with black electrical tape wrapped around. -Didn't process snail mail yet. Worked on our budget instead. Trying to figure out if there's a subscription I can get rid of. I think I'm going to drop Amazon Prime.

I am happy about people today. I was on the receiving end of some extra courtesies from other drivers on a Friday afternoon! Went to library. Went to gas station. Went to pharmacy; picked up scrip and finally remembered to drop off old medicine in their disposal bin. I've been carrying that around in my purse for weeks. Open tax-related mail and put it back in tax file.

Thanks Ally I am always surprised how much I can do when I just do it! I heard something on the radio about time management- they suggested measuring tasks in to songs eg doing the dishes will take 3 songs. This way the longer the task takes the more enjoyment you can have! Washingbin because of the rain and rehung inside- ignoring the other load ATM Resorted all my cross stitch thread - I often wish life was like cross stitch, orderly, planned and you know exactly where you are going in the big picture Lunch Work out what's for dinner Do some sewing Sort out what I need for tomorrow- I'm going to walk up a small mountain!

Good Morning WITers. I've wasted a good bit of time on the internet this morning. I just became aware of the artwork of children's book illustrator Salley Mavor and fell down the rabbit hole. weefolkstudio.com/about/ta-da: Up, meds to cat, scratch grains to chickens Ate breakfast Knit a round of my sweater sleeves Emptied the dishwasher to-do: CLA meetings, assignments, journalling, etc. Sort papers Clean kitchen floor

ta-da: Called into CLA, worked on some "homework". Reality check: the stuff I have that I don't want, no one else wants either! Put a bunch of books into a box to be tossed. Put stuff from kitchen sink into dishwasher
to-do: take a break for a few minutes, then back to work

G'Morning, Ally! recent background: Surgery 12/18, blew a hernia 1/5, repair surgery 1/19. Off work 2 weeks, return Mon 2/5 for whatever idiotic reason (get food ready, yea, I get it, but think it through, mousie!) I sorted and soaked 6 pounds of black beans sunday night, intending to can them Monday after work. Yup, ya read it right, first day back at work. Here it is Sat am, the beans are still soaking. Without doubt, tossable at this point. I paid a friend to help me clean Wed afternoon. I filled the dishwasher with canning jars so they'd be clean & hot for canning. Still in DW & my tiny kitchen is chock full of dirties. If I put the canning jars back in their cardboard boxes, they are no longer clean. arrrggghhh! sigh. To Do Stack the jar boxes. Set up an empty 10 ream paper box Line the box with big tea towels put the jars in the box load run DW yes. feels very do-able.
