Hi there everyone! It seems like my pattern is to have one really productive day, then two or three days in a row that I struggle to get anything done. You all help me a lot with that. If on my "struggle" days I can just load the dishwasher and keep laundry moving through the machines, I'm at least not falling far backwards. Not to where I was before. Today seems to be one of my better days, and things are happening around here. Not the things I planned or expected to do, but progress...and any progress is good. More TADA's: 1) Took out the trash again. I needed to, because of the desk work. 2) Threw away the empty box from the new speakers for our bedroom computer. The ones that have been there for a year. 3) Threw away some biohazards from the back of the next shelf down in our fridge, and I have one (really nasty) produce-keeper drawer soaking on the countertop. The other drawer wasn't half-bad, and just needed a wipe-down. There are still mystery jars toawrds the back of the last shelf, but I didn't want my trash bag to burst open when lifting it. Nuh-uh! Not with these goodies in it! 4)folded more laundry. To do's 1) Dump and refill horrible cat box that is stinking up our back porch. 2) Scoop out bathroom cat box. Not as bad, but bad enough to need immediate attention. 3) hang clothes in closets when hubby wakes up, and get the clothes hanging rack out to curb, as planned earlier. Maybe someone will grab it who needs one.

LaughingLark==OMG! You've gotten tons done!
NOTC--DS is the one who either needs his old backpack repaired or purchase a new one. Looks like we will try to get it repaired as no one seems to have the Jansport External Frame Backpacks locally. He is going to Philmont Boy Scout Camp in the mountains of New Mexico...it is a "high adventure" camp. Lots of backpacking in the mountains. This will be his 2nd time to go.
ArtsyGal--Sorry to here about Lewis. I know it is hard for both you and your DAngel. Give him a kiss for me.

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone! Laughinglark, well done cleaning up after baby's monster barf! Glad to hear he is in good spirits despite having a tummy bug. Rexroth, wtg chipping away at that letter to the landlord. Sometimes things involving words and delicate situations are the hardest to sit down and do. Good on you taking the time to nourish your spirit. Cando, well done coming in and working despite your headache, I hope it eases up soon. I can sympathise, I sometimes wake up with severe tension headaches. The pain and grip usually ease 1-2 hours after taking painkillers, but I'm usually left with a brain feeling like sludge, extreme sensitivity to light and noise, and feeling whacked and fatigued for hours afterward. Hi Pepper, nice to see you! Exciting to hear about the move, hope it goes well. It's turning out to be a nice day today, so it's time I started moving (mid-morning here). So far I've: Got up Had breakfast Checked threads on TakingOneStep Next: Shower Dress Open curtains and windows

Hi gang! I ended up busy with the kids, but still got a few things done. TADAs: --Folded more laundry --Cleared clothes off of rack --fruit/veggie keeper drawer is shiny clean and back in fridge --Cleaned up fresh kitty barf. Again. I think I need to pick up special food for him at the vet's. I'm brushing him daily, but it's his food that is making him sick, I think. I bought some Purina because we were out of cat food and I didn't have a chance to get to the store that carries Iams. Big mistake. Poor kitty. He was a feral kitten and he was pretty close to death when my son captured him. If he hadn't been ill and starving, he would have been too wild to approach. He was roughly four months old when we rescued him, but his health has always been touchy. We have had him for 3-4 years now, and he gets sick really easily. He might have been exposed to a meth lab, based on where we found him. We wonder if that weakened him. If he keeps barfing, he's going to the vet on Tuesday. To dos Get more folded clothes put away Get rack to curb before bedtime Work on an unfinished craft project Off to the races---I am really sick of laundry, so I need to get right on that. Keep up the awesome work, everyone! Edited to add: Artsygal, I hope your dog's flareup calms down soon.

Felt some energy radiating from this website & got 2 sets done this time!!!
Tadas: 1)put left-overs away 2)folded/hung load of laundry 3)put that load away *bonus* drank another glass ofwater & put 2 3 empty boxes into garage & 1 big bag of paper type recyclables into garage to wait until recycle day...this Tuesday (we have this once every two weeks).
Another set: 1)sent email to DD's flute teacher 2)sent email to DD's Girl Scout leader 3)moved load of laundry into dryer *bonus* got DS to take 2 bags of trash to outside can & 2 bags of bottle/can/glass recyclables to outside can.
Todos: 1)re-bag bag of shreds...has to be in clear bag (very frustrating even though one can see this bag contains shreds...not good enuf). Have finally found a use for those clear dry cleaning bags...put shreds in them & tie the ends. That was the suggesting of the city dept. that handles the recyclables. 2)shred for 30 minutes 3)fold/hang load of laundry & put that load away

Cando, yay for clean kitchen cupboards indeed! Now that mine is clean, I can place some of my clean 'keeper' dishes into it (I am sorting through a few boxes of dishes, only keeping what I will use and will fit into the available space). Wow, you go girl, you're powering through the laundry, rubbish and recyclables! Tada: Had lunch Washed breakfast and lunch dishes *bonus: My rubber gloves burst a leak, so went for a bike ride into the village to get replacement gloves. Bought a few other items to stretch groceries until payday late in the week, and got exercise at the same time. Todo: Empty vacuum cylinder Brush and vacuum car interior
