Okay, it doesn't show yet, but I'm making progress. Ta-das: - Stripped the bed
- Put in a load of laundry (bedsheets and bedroom curtain)
- Hung the laundry outside to dry (yay for laundry lines!)
- Put another load of laundry in (I just need to start the washer)
- Pruned a plant (it was looking sad)
- Put the dead bits of plant in the compost
- Took plates and some garbage out of bedroom
- Cleared out the garbage bag from under the sink, where I'd forgotten it (Eww! Flies! And fly larvae! Eww! They are currently all dead. I kilt 'em all, 'cause eww!)
- Put the garbage outside (did I mention: eww!)
For such a long list, it sure seems as though I haven't put a dent in the place. Oh well. I shall forge on. ~Mouse |

Trying to put a dent in this place... Think my favourite mancreature will be helping me today, which'd be lovely.. as for me..
up face washed, toner, moisturiser, hair up, teeth brush, flossed, mouthwash, flouride, la di da gotta love oral care. vitamins.
began more animal grooming. after mom died i let everything just go to hell around here.. my longlonglong haired kitty has mats which i'm working on every day..
i have too many ToDos to even list without paling and passing out so I guess i'll just post TaDa's today.
-
Now I'm committed to decluttering the storage closet. Had my favourite mancreature help me pull everything out and it's now stacked in the livingroom. I already had tubs for things to go into but after going through mom's stuff there's another maybe 5 cardboard boxes of stuff that needs to get sorted into the proper tub. and we probably don't need as many seasonal things as we have so... here i go...
i also just want to go through all the seasonal stuff in one go NOW so i'm not left weeping with the first shock of seeing things since mom died as holidays roll around......

- gather up random dishes hiding in BoD
- declutter my car again
- vacuum BoD
- 6 loads of laundry
- mop (OK, Scooba) dining room, kitchen and foyer
- change sheets on my bed, DS' bed, DD's bed

Congratulations to everyone for all your accomplishments! WHEE! The day is flying by! I ran out of steam around noon, and took a break with an episode of CSI. Murder in a high-end restaurant! Also makes me never want to eat out ever again. Bleah. They found all sorts of horrible substances in the kitchen that were even unrelated to the murder (semen and cocaine and... bleah). Back to my ta-da list: - Cleaned the garbage can (the one with the aforementioned fly larvae: eww!)
- Tidied up a bit in the kitchen
- Cleaned out the fridge (no more science experiments!)
- Hung my (newly-washed and outdoors-y-smelling) curtains
- Took down second load of laundry
- Put in third load of laundry
- Hung up third load of laundry
- Put in fourth load of laundry
- Patted the cats
Now I have to fold my laundry (*sigh*), and get to work on the rest. ~Mouse |

Wow!  This is like an old SS forum reunion!
I'm glad you're all maintaining the Accountability Partners thread. I've been going back and forth between forums. I'm still trying to replicate my SS photo gallery over at LiveJournal. Also, I really need to get back into the groove of desqualoring. Computer time doesn't count as desqualoring time. 
Ninja's ta-da's for Saturday . . .
round 1:
1) took meds
2) replicated about three photo galleries in my LiveJournal gallery.
3) ate lunch; read paper
4) napped on couch
5) showered
6) made grocery list
round 2:
7) went to Walgreen's and bought suntan lotion
8) went to grocery store
9) came home; unloaded car; put groceries away
10) moved some posts to my livejournal blog so they don't clutter up the Toss-Sibs forum
round 3:
11) turned on sprinkler for 1st half of front lawn
12) rinsed dishes; loaded dishwasher
13) rinsed recyclables; put in blue bag
14) started load of towels in wash
15) moved sprinkler to 2nd half of front lawn
back to it . . .
