sweetsunshower - great reasoning with putting off your show! Think how much more you will enjoy them at 9pm without the kitchen hanging over your head! razy - hello my downunder friend! Great to see you! Meringues sound great! Worse you can do is screw them up and need to toss them, but I am sure they'll turn out! Things are still feeling heavy with me, and my bad news. But at least I started moving. TaDa: 1. Got dressed to the shoes. 2. Took kids out for NY lunch. 3. Opened the blinds and showed up here, even though I just want to crawl back into bed. 1. Find nice audiobook or podcast to listen to. 2. Change kitty litter. 3. Load dishwasher. Washed pans. Rebooted laundry. ToDo: 1. Fold laundry from dryer. 2. Gather garbage. 3. Run garbage to the dumpster. 4. Find a container for christmas decorations. 5. Pull ribs out of the freezer.

Happy New Year WITers!! There's so much going on here today which is so awesome - lots of stuff getting done and important and interesting thoughts being shared. ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/ItfhkSNFplsSV0iIG0TA.gif) ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/sMfUwJiggXxhYwvYyJDp.gif) ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/nhMhhdmQAVortmOUMXbf.gif) I've been feeling low the past few days and haven't gotten much done, but hope to get a few things done this evening to help keep me from backsliding - as BetsyMarie talked about. Not sure I will be successful, but I am here to try. ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/QGmedSDXwjZfIBxYspeX.gif) TA DA Changed my sheets earlier for the first time in 3 months (may have expended all energy for 2020 and that was the highlight ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/ZgyUwypOJqsoJHPexVkq.gif) ) Took an hour-long walk in the woods Made a grilled-cheese and tomato soup for dinner, which I've been planning on having since Christmas and finally just made it happen. Yum! TO DO Take dishes from LR to kitchen Put away 1 food item from making dinner Wash 1 dish ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/bHACSZTdnEgZfHtJOSzt.gif)

Ok, I feel like I'm sleepwalking, but I'm moving along. ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/IYgcAdghvXBvbIqK00PC.gif) TA DA Took dishes from LR to kitchen Put away all food items from making dinner Wash a few items in sink, next few items are soaking Sent email to two friends confirming out gathering at my house on Friday evening. Thought I was done for the season, but glad these two can make it before I start to undecorate. Started an email thanking newish neighbors for inviting me to their holiday party earlier in December. Going to include a beautiful photo of their two horses that hang out in the field behind my house. TO DO Wash 1 item in sink Hang fallen ornament back on tree move chair from foyer/dining table back to kitchen table Bonus - bask in the fact that since I haven't come in here for the past days, the LR is tidy!

I'd like an adult beverage too BetsyMarie but it's not even 2pm here - if I started now I wouldn't make it till dinner time... ![::tada-1::](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/ElqtgaKypYWeNbzGtFTV.gif) Mixer cleaned up and awayish Breadmaker started Rhubarb cooking ginger and sugar for cordial Crackers ready to go Lunch and coffee I have come to a bit of a problem with my baking plan. The meringues need to cool in the oven - I had forgotten about that. I will leave them there for an hour or so then take them out, put the crackers in, then bacon and egg pie to use up the yolks from the meringues. Work on holiday blog Check rhubarb concoction ?

I hope I wake up less painful tomorrow. I am hurting all over. I had what I think was a vasovagal episode last night at a concert (missed 7 songs), and now my entire body hurts from the cramping.
I just dragged and dragged today.
Tomorrow is another day.
I exercised; I wrote.
