SBTM, Well done on getting your rent paid and the maintenance on your AC! I've been a bum today... dd went to friends house for three hours and I took a 2 1/2 hour nap! I'm going to try and be a productive this afternoon. Todo: Help dd find her camera charger, so she quits whining. Measure the mudroom windows... I'm thinking of putting up curtains. Do one thing (other than window measuring,) in the mudroom.

Hi Rosebud who started the thread, Is that a new rose bud avatar I see on your post? Hi to all the people in the middle of the thread. Just glad your are here. Looks like some solid tadas there, StressedBTM - like paying the rent and washing the comforter.
Tiger here has a lot of tadas under her belt, but the day has deteriorated into a melt down. Time to get busy again.
TODO: 1) bring in the laundry and fold it. 2) fold what's in the basket from long ago (like last week?) 3) put it all away

Hypatia, it's the small things that matter!! WTG!! You're right, Stressed, it's not too late. If we say it enough, maybe lots will get done! . WTG, Tiger on doing the laundry!!! Lately, I've been boycotting it!! Help dd find her camera charger, so she quits whining. We looked together, but couldn't find it. I gave her two big boxes of electrical type stuff to look through, but she couldn't be bothered, so neither could I. One day, I hope to organized enough to know where everything is. Measure the mudroom windows... I'm thinking of putting up curtains. Do one thing (other than window measuring,) in the mudroom. I broke down a big box to recycle and went through the stuff on the bookshelf. Some things I moved to the room of doom, some things got tossed. Todos: Decide what to have for supper. Work on a daily schedule. Look for pictures of mudrooms for inspiration. Yes, it's sort of a bogus todo list, but at least I'll be wasting time productively... sort of!

Thanks all for the encouragement! Good Job Tiger!!
TaDas 1. Vacuumed all the common areas of the house. 2. Installed that fan and tested it. it's good! 3. Figured out the the alarm clock was in fact, not broken. or magically fixed itself during it's time in the "to fix" stack, so i am going to keep it. 4. Cleaned off the living room mantle. I dusted it and moved a few things off it so it's less cluttered.
I have 2 alarm clocks now but it's worth keeping both. One is digital and easier to set for naps and has a radio for listening to when I'm awake. The other is the wake the dead piece of frustration that really gets me up!
ToDos 1. Deal with all the cables under my desk and re-hook up the computer I fixed, as well as the old one I need to clear off. Ugh. I dread this one just becuase I hate dealing with that many cords. 2. Get dinner. 3. Buy mushrooms (i let mine go bad) and cook the eggs and zuchinni with them bfeore they go bad too so i have breakfast for the week (and can freeze what i wont eat right away).

HWH - Congrats on joining the listzilla crew!
Ta Da 1. Dinner was gotten, at a new little mediteranian deli i've never had before. Very tasty, and a good reward for the house cleaning i thought. A little expensive but, i'll live. 2. Bought Mushrooms and Milk and a couple of non-food items I needed. 3. Hooked up the computer I fixed, and hooked up the old one as well to be booted and cleaned off later.
ToDo 1. Clean the bathroom, get it back to stage 0 2. Work on Mt. HangOrFoldMeUp 3. Put the purple candle on the shelf (get the ladder to do this) 4. Find somewhere to store my sharpies.

Dragonchild- perhaps you should list #1 as "continued training of DH"? Deviated from my list slightly TaDas 1. I got most of Mt. HangOrFoldMeUp - Up. 2. Put that purple candle away 3. Mended my jeans and put them away 4. I did find somewhere to store my sharpies. I displaced something else I dont use as often but at least that. 5. Threw away the dry erase markers in the dining room that dont work, and took the spare pencil cup from my desk and put them in it. 6. Put the dishrags in the washer. I'm starting to tire out a bit so this is probably my last "set of three" 1. Dry and put away dishrags 2. wash and hang up the bathroom rug 3. Evening routine 4. Plan tommorow's schedule and cleaning.
