And tiger is laying on the current paper I rescue from the floor and swatting me when I try to get it out from under him.
Small batches is working though. I fill one trash bag and almost one shred bag shredding plus found some papers I was looking for (which are now in a drawer). I took pictures of my pt work sheets and paid 4 bills.

If anyone recalls my queen of the pirates house cleaner days. It was always me and my beloved Firstmate Kitty (who passed away of cancer at 16+).
The boys when I rescued them became crew. Well tonight they have full positions on the ship. Tiger is Yeoman of the Sheets and Austin is Quartermaster.
Austin is keeping me on course as Tiger and I argue over the spot on the bed. Last time i was getting more papers, Tiger was standing on my back supervising.

The best laid plans.......
I had an appointment to show the apartment. The couple no showed. No call no show. I was annoyed. So I contacted another woman who works right down the street from the apartment. She looked at it and her sister came as well. Turns out she knows DH from HS. little City is very connected. She wants to rent it for her DD and she would pay the rent. Sounds like DD is in a tenuous situation. Turns out this woman and her husband own the nice restaurant. I hope they take it. She was lovely and I like kinda knowing people.
So that ate up my night. It is now just after 8pm. I am drying my laundry. I have to start getting clothes ready for the weekend I need to get the rest of the trash out Pick up something anything Wash dishes
So doable!!

TML, I'm so glad you have Tiger and Austin to keep you in line! Think how boring it would be without them!
Ohblondie, I can't believe people are so rude to make an appointment and then not even call to say they can't come.
When I finished talking with my sister I decided that I would really like to stay home all day tomorrow, so I finished packing up both boxes, put them in my shopping cart, and went to drop them off at the FedEx place. It felt weird to walk all that way and not combine it with some other errand, but I'm so glad I got that over with. I'm home now and will eat dinner, then it will be time to get ready for bed.

40 minutes organized a few areas. The coffee and tea station 2 food cupboards One food storage area Have 2 bags of recycling again
Got a note to empty kitchen n bathroom cupboards for a maintenance visit tomorrow. Yeah like no way in hell I'm going to keep doing this at their demands. I have enough to do. They must be outta their minds.....
I packed some snacks for tomorrow. I have 3 floors to do. Probably a 6 hour job. Plus they have dogs to play with! I have soda in the car.
Mopped n clean the floor n toilet. I have some dishes to do. B put a few more things in the little trash can. Where I cleared off the floor and vacuumed it, he has put his bill books there. I know he wants to be able to find them I'm trying to clear spaces. One step forward another step back.

Probably a 6 hour job
Wow, that's a big job, oust!
I ate a leisurely meal (vegetarian BLT--yum, so good!) and while I ate I went through some saved newspaper sections, so now I can throw them away. I'm now going to alternate end of day tasks with other things, since I won't be going to bed too early tonight.
Next:
Clean up from dinner Give everyone fresh water PEEP cat table Restock water in fridge

How is your place looking Diane now you have been spending more time on it? Can you see the difference yet?
I did a good job in the kitchen. Wiped off surfaces Put drinks in the fridge (picking up the restocking habit from here) Washed all dishes and pyrex. Luckily B did not come here for dinner and make more mess.
I like the lysol I used in the bathroom earlier. It smells strong. I don't buy chemicals but people leave them usually when they move out so I rehome them.
I feel like I did enough. At least 2 hours tonight.

Well, now that I've started the additional book packing--no! Although it does look emptier because I took so much cat stuff out of this room. I'm hoping this is the mess before the calm!
Next:
Scoop litter pans 10 minutes on books Check locks Put phone away New garbage bag in bathroom, new plastic recycling bag in kitchen

Sneaking a post in ... Diane what do you use for vegetarian bacon? I never eat pigs, such intelligent animals, and your sandwich sounds good! I’d like to try -a vegetarian BLT. TML your cat stories make me smile. oust I can’t believe anyone could be expected to empty all their kitchen and bathroom cabinets with a one day notice. Today was a longish day. Did all the usuals to get DD to school and me to work. Stopped and filled gas tank on way in. At work, I had a big meeting with new boss and boss’s boss at a city about 1.5 hours away. It included a lunch meeting so all in all, I was out of the office for six hours. It was actually rather pleasant- we met with some colleagues who took us to lunch as well. Lots of reorg stuff is happening so a lot of uncertainty at work. I cooked a proper from scratch dinner tonight but it was not that grat. My dish combinations were a bit off I was thinking of not doing anything because I was tired but I rallied: Did dishes Folded and put away one load of laundry Moved another load to dryer Started yet another load Paid two bills Updated checkbook Did my night time routine Read the Bible Now Gnite!

Hello everyone
I truly want to write personal replies to everyone like you all do, and I hope you will understand and forgive me for not doing so while I try to get through one hour at a time right now. I feel badly because you all are so supportive, and I feel like I am not giving that back to anyone right now. Please know that the thoughts are there and that I appreciate all of you SO much.
Thankfully, there were no waterfalls or other calamities when I woke up this morning other than discovering my coffee pot and filter basket had leftovers in them and they'd grown a lovely colony of mold. There was much scrubbing and scalding hot water. I can handle that (and did).
DONE feed/water catface take blood sugar take meds scrub coffee pot and filter basket wipe counter to right of sink make coffee
NEXT UP get coffee wash blanket put away stuff from dryer patrol bedroom
