Just throw those things out Ally! You don't need them Yeah, later I was looking at the stuff and was wondering what was making it so hard. Sometimes I can look at it and just think it's all trash, it should all go, and other times, I really struggle with it.

Hello WITers. We have lots of high winds and heavy rain here today. Several hours ago the power went out briefly, and took the internet with it, then the internet didn't come back for hours. I decided to go out and get chicken feed and a few groceries. There were lots of trees and large limbs down.
ta-da: Did some food prep A bit more tidying up Bought chicken feed and groceries, ate a healthy dinner
to-do: Study PALS See if DH will bring in chicken feed. The 50# bags are more than I can manage. Feed the chickens Get trash ready to take out (I have several half-filled bags, I may consolidate some of them.

Hi, all.
Yesterday's remaining tasks got done.
I spent most of this morning pulling out clothes to see what still fits, etc. I have 8 pairs of jeans. 4 are too small. 3 might work if I lost 5 lbs or so, the other one is hopeless and will be donated for sure. Of the ones that fit now, only one black pair looks unfaded and dressy enough to wear out to someplace like a diner. The other 3 blue ones look like I'm ready to dig holes or something.
Then I spent some time shopping for a new pair of new blue ones. I ordered one style in different sizes to try. I can return the ones that don't fit to a physical store, thankfully.
I'm going to tackle another category of clothes this afternoon. Then I have to run out and return a DVD to the library.

Nael_C, enjoy your rest! WTG for getting yardwork done! DustyD, Yay for sorting through clothes! I have a favorite pair of jeans (that are several years old) that I was wearing outside last fall, when I had a slip, and fall on some loose stones on a steep slope. I tore a hole in the knee. I have tried to order the "same" pair, but they don't make them like they used to. The fabric is not as nice, and the fit isn't as good (The waistline keeps sagging in the back and I need to keep tugging the back up.) I guess I will have to try different brands. I had purchased an additional pair a couple of years ago, and I disliked them enough that I donated them after wearing them a few times. I tried ordering another pair of the same brand, but I really don't love them. ta-da: Took trash out and drove it to the end of the lane, Drove to PALS and spent a few hours in training, then took the test and got 100%. There were a few that I had to "guess" on. Gave the chickens some scratch grains. I really feel bad for them. We have had so much rain this week that their entire run is one big mud puddle. Started making another batch of yogurt Loaded the dishwasher and then started it. Oh, my, It's raining again!!!! To-do: Laundry? Water houseplants Continue with yogurt Empty the dishwasher I'm scheduled to work tomorrow, I need to pack up some meals/snacks Tidy up? There is a ton of stuff to do!

DustyD, Your post was the first I knew of the quake. I've heard from one relative who felt it, and am waiting to hear from another. Glad it wasn't one of the biggies they get elsewhere! Started dishes soaking. Had meds and made bed. Put away laundry. Finish grocery list. Tell pharmacy to put one prescription on hold. Go grocery shopping.
