babz25 I love your lists! I’ll be making one, but may not be able to roll dice as I have some “have tos”, again. 1) laundry! did several loads! 2 ) pick up DMom’s RX 3) buy bed pads for parents & Flonaise Sensimist for them & 1 for myself. Also, Melatonin 3mg for Mom. Hope I’m not forgetting anything else for parents. 4) take meds & pads to ALF 5) make meal plans 6) make grocery list 7) go to P.O. Box 8) go grocery shopping 9) parents bank accounts 10) put groceries away 11) get to papers next to my laptop on TV dinner in den 12) cook if needed 13) exercise Didn't do so well. It was so crowded at the Walmart Neighborhood Market where DMom's RX was. I checked 2 other walmarts on the way to the ALF, but their parking lots were very crowded so didn't go in. CD Ghah! Cd

Having alot of anxiety past few days because I went from working three days a week to working 5 days per week. i asked for the increase because I really need the income but I hope I can handle it. I really do value my days off because they allow me to regroup before I go back to work. well, I guess there are alot of part time jobs out there if I need to leave this one my list for today: finish notes for work kitchen kitchen surfaces my bathroom kids bathroom my bedroom run fred (the roomba)sweep and mop floors laundry room laundry dishes prep dinner after dinner clean up (I have found the little routine to be the most valuable routine I have ever implemented. after dinner, I clear the table, do the dishes, wipe off table and kitchen surfaces, sweep, and steam. my house has never looked better because of this.....and it helps me so much the next morning, because I wake up and I dont feel like Im behind the 8 ball because of all the dishes in the sink! Truly, the first step toward getting control is this after dinner routine, at least in my humble opinion). living room playroom pay credit card bill take a walk take a walk check on kids schoolwork

Put groceries away from Dollar Tree Picked up RX from Krogers for Dad.

Put away hand-washed stuff from drainboard
Washed sinkful of dishes, skillet & pot. phone call with DrBro re: Dad & urologist Took all meds Fed dogs morning feeding & gave them meds Gave dogs late night feeding
DS & his wife camer over today. It was so great to be with them. They brought me Mother's Day gift. They couldn't bring it on Mother's Day due to DDil being sick (Dr. thought she had Covid even tho negative test). We all were masked... such strange times.

thanks cando!!! that felt amazing!! so liberating!! I held on to that pool table years past when I should have gotten rid of it. Then I got up the courage to drag it outside, and it sat for three or four weeks (in my head, my dragging it out of the house would spur dh or ds on to break it up and throw it out). Now its gone, and I feel like the weight of that pool table has been lifted off my shoulders.
