This is Working in Threes for September 2019 The guidelines for WIT are simple: - Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. ☝️ - Do one more little thing. - Do another little thing. - Once you have 3 things done, post them here! - Post the next 3 things you plan on doing. - Go forth and conquer, return and post again. - You aren't required to do the 3 things you had planned on -- just get any 3 things done and then post proudly. Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed, or just need to break your tasks down into something manageable, you are in the right place! If the next 15 minutes consists of: - Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying 😢 - Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen - Put away book 📚 - Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash . . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE-DOM !!! You could post: Ta-Da's - Took pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Threw away McDonald's wrappers Then your To-Do's: - Bring plates and glasses to kitchen - Put dirty socks in hamper - Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away. Whether you do those 3 to-do's, or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post. Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da! If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you. Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das. YOU DESERVE THEM

TaDa Wiped most of R counter Ate granola bar for lunch Took a lovely nap 1 box Drinking water. This is harder than it sounds, I'm out of the habit due to leaving my water bottle in DD car, 80 miles away.
It's too hot in the West facing kitchen for my heat rash neck, sew room it is.

This day went by too fast. Ta-da: Exercises when I got up. Wasted time going to one store but leaving because I did not like the traffic in parking lot. It happens. Later, got some stuff at discount store. Hoping attractant in puppy pads does not work on cats. I just want to line the floor under litter box. I don't think I've done anything else. Place is worse than usual and I am not in a focused place.
To-do: Scoop. Sweep. Line floor with puppy pads. Hand wash something to wear tomorrow. Watch lecture/coursework.

Ta-da: Scooped/put down pads Started hand washing clothes Gave cats fresh water Tried to give fat cat meds in liverwurst but he's just too darned smart. He was fine for months with them wrapped in soft treats but recently figured out how to eat around the pill. So then I try to sneak it in to wet food but he either eats around it, or detects it and starts eating other cats' portions. Arggghhh. Plugged devices in to charge
To-do: Rinse and hang jeans and sweater watch lecture More brain dump/to dos Dental stuff. Set alarm. Bed.
