Good morning!
The dog had a restless night last night, no panting, but it took her a long time to fall asleep. So, me too. But I feel okay and want another productive day. Today is the last day with a high of 40, but there are only two days at 30 and we go back to 40, so it looks like several more days of mild weather next week. I have fed and medicated the dog and she's been out.
A goal for today is starting to work on consolidating the plants on the 2 plant tables in the reading room, because I will need as much space as possible for seedlings. Several of the plants have been there during this winter just because there was space, I can move them back to the plant room where they will be a little more crowded, but still okay. I also have my paper cutter on one of the plant tables, it has been very handy to have it out when needed, but I'll have to put it away on a shelf for now. I'm hoping to start planting some seeds at the beginning of March, which is 2 more week but the way time is flying it will be here very soon.

Hi Diane! I am working at home today. all the animals are currently cooperating. I hate the look of betrayal in puppy's eyes when I have to have super short play session and get back to work.
I ended up not sleeping well, and started to have dark thoughts and then was so awake i watched videos for most of the night! I am so tired today and it is all self-induced. i have a lot to do today for work.
I want to get project P done by lunch!
I am in a skittish mood overall! I hope work distracts me from the messy stuff that I am thinking about. I am very overloaded with projects. so on to project P !

Good morning bree! I hope you can get some good work done today, maybe that will take some of the anxiety off. I hate those nights when I can't sleep and my mind goes everywhere--then I think--how on earth did my brain get to this subject?
I wish I could teleport myself over to your house to play with puppy!
Next:
10 minutes on plants 10 minutes on my Office365 book Vacuum something

Good morning everypony!
Diane, DB's carer is burnt out an wants to leave the state. DB's needs have increased dramatically. He is at stage 6 (out of 7) on the Alzheimer's scale. Mom is at stage 1 or 2. My dad is used to being the superhero, but now understands that DB will eventually (probably sooner rather than later) need a memory care facility. So we are working on lining that up as well.
thanks bree. I am so grateful for this community that has helped me understand what we will be doing. Good luck on project P!
hope you enjoy your time with your mom in your tidy house, reve!
Yesterday ended on a high note, with a spontaneous dinner out, walk through an exhibit, and free night for locals at the live music venue. slept pretty good, but woke up with symptoms of the bacterial infection returning. I am feeling anger at the first time for this long covid nonsense. I won't know if I can take sulfa medication for another ten days, and penicillin for who know how much longer after that.
today we are picking up DVD's cpap in the town where the Habitat store is, so we are taking the RV in case we can find a big cabinet for the kitchen.
DONE: caffeinated looked at recent photos w/ DVD updated log checked email checked calendar
NEXT UP: call to request referral and get the cpap number again what to wear? wash up and get dressed unplug etc RV go!

Good afternoon scholar!
I fed the dog and took her out again.
Before I eat lunch I'm going to post in my challenges.
After lunch my project is to clean the upstairs kitchen sink, really well.

oh Diane I am sure you'd be puppy's favorite person! I have an important meeting in a half hour and I have a big fat meat bone for puppy to keep her happy. mylittlescholar that is so hard, hope you find a good place! project P is not coming along well. I am actually in over my head on it, I should not be leading it, I don't have the expertise. That does not matter now cuz i have to lead it. Mostly that means I end up doing lots of secretarial work, setting up meetings, emails, documents, because I don't have that kind of support. it is not my strong suit at all so I am kind of disorganized trying to get it done. But there is also some very technical stuff that is not my area at all... I had hoped to have project p done but only tiny progress. very tiny. I also just went to the library to print out some documents and it would not let me print! I tried two different computers - no go. it must be the file itself. so that was a waste. they were giving out sweets leftover from yesterday so they handed me some and like a pavlov-trained pup I ate them. so a wasted trip and a little fatter!! one good thing is that I did my lenten challenge day 2 and dropped off a suit (work clothes). I am so glad it is gone! I bought this suit prob 5-10 years ago! did not fit. thought I will lose weight (I briefly did in that period but I forgot about the suit). suit was expensive and still had tags. I am not quite sure it is in style but probably, mostly classic design. anyway it was an albatross cuz it was $$$ and did not fit. so now it is gone and donated and hopefully some woman will end up with it and be thrilled to have a new with tags suit! I am excited about this challenge because I am focusing exclusively on my clothes to donate. I have hardly any clothes I wear today and a good chunk that are wrong size or just a good memory. I look forward to paring them all down!

Bree, good luck on your clothing challenge--is it just your own clothing? Or your stash of your daughter's old stuff too?
While I was cleaning the sink my shopping friend called again--this makes two very long calls in two days, she really is feeling better. I just wish she could get around a little bit so that she could move to a room of her own.
My sink hasn't been this clean in a long time!
I have time for one more list before dinner.
Next:
10 minutes on paper 10 minutes on office supplies Pot up remaining hylocereus cuttings Delete 10 hard emails

Hello TML! Just one more day until the weekend!
I talked to my decluttering client again this evening, and I had dinner.
Now I will do whatever PEEPing is necessary before bedtime.

reve sorry your mom was sick -enjoy your orderly home! So yesterday I finally did finish project P -it wasnāt great. I sent it off for other peoples input. I thought of the statement which is something likeā donāt let perfect be the enemy of the goodā or something on paper is better than nothing on paper! anyway sent that off. I had another deadline due yesterday Which was a little nerve-racking- it was a report for big headquarters in a different city. at first I was concerned about what I was going to say but then I thought Iām getting pretty old, Iām competent in my job, Iām just gonna say what I think and press send, so I did that! I had an afternoon meeting that I had prepared for with bone for the puppy. It was an important meeting with my boss there, and her boss there, and close to 20 people in total The cats were sleepingā¦ I was first on the agenda, then right before the meeting started, puppy decided to try to play with boy cat- boy cat started meowing loudly, and angrilyā¦ boycat wanted Out, boycat wanted in, then he wanted to sit on the table and try to get in the computer. Itās just ironic because all day long they just left me alone at work but right when the meeting started there they were, but everything went OK. After work, I took puppy for a walk. It was cold and snowy. She was just besides herself with joy at the snow; she loves to nose dive in it, and then flip back-and-forth. It definitely puts a smile in my face. I had a humble dinner, did the dishes, did a load of laundry, cleaned the litter, took out trash. I have decided to try to do a little chore each night; the day before yesterday, I cleaned the glass top table. last night, I set the timer and just spent 15 minutes doing pick up and put away of my counters and table. I did my full nighttime routine down to the shiny sink. Today I am off from work. I actually have to go get DD and bring her in town so she can get some business done here and then take her back, so itāll be a busy day. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Thereās a little bit of snow but itās not supposed to snow all day next I am going to go pick up my Lenten challenge outfit Diane I am only focusing on my clothes and Iām really excited because I really need to do a purge so Iām gonna go off and pick something to donate! Happy Friday all
