Late start this morning & then a drive by going away party. Showered2shoes.
Next I will do the roll from yesterday that I didn’t get done. It was to do paper work. Since baby stepping it...the plan is to pay parents credit card bill.
After that, I’ll have to do some “have to” things in a certain order. 1) label some items to take to parents at ALF 2) pick up Dads RX 3) take things to ALF 4) grocery shopping 5) cook dinner 6) start nighttime routine 7) must go to bed earlier!!!
Paid parent's credit card bill. (Also discovered parent's bank account has been locked. *ugh*. It's never ending!!! Will have to call about it, tomorrow).

I hope you are feeling better, goldenthreads . I did the following: Labeled supplies for my parents: Body Wash, hand sanitizer, and bed pads. Dropped off RX for "Puppy" (13 yr. old Catahoula Leopard Dog). She has Addison's Disease. Picked up RX for Dad from a different pharmacy Dropped off RX and other supplies to the ALF for my parents. Then, got caught in bad thunderstorm... Had to pull over in a parking lot twice. Then, went to grocery store for a few things: bread, shredded cheddar cheese, crm of mushroom soup, turkey bacon, Amer.cheese slices, Woolite, chicken breasts, Put away all groceries (no shop & drop any more Well, rarely...)

cando, I was feeling OK. I just wasn't in the mood. I like the sentiment of your "get well soon." It makes me laugh to think that I did in fact recover from my relax-all-day mood.

It's 1 and 4 now. Good. I need to finish the cupboard before I get tired and wimp out. And I'm really motivated to make a plan for when I go to the other town to return my winter tires to the storage unit. I've found some stuff this week that I should pack and put in there, too.

goldenthreads . Yep, I misread that. . But, yeah... you definitely went for it anyway & got lots done!!! I wasn't feeling it today, either. So, even though I couldn't make it into a game, today. I liked being on this thread, anyway. Here's what else I did: Made '"Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie". It was pretty easy & DH really liked it. I thought it was just okay. I'd never heard of that before, so it was my 1st time to make it. I would prefer to just have a good hamburger with grilled onions. folded/hung load of laundry Put away that load Put another load in washer Put away hand-washed stuff from drainboard Washed sinkful of dishes - Well, DH washed most of them... . That was sweet of him. Put left-overs in fridge I am determined to make that earlier bedtime! - just brushed my hair. Will brush my teeth & put pjs on -- well, prolly just a tshirt. Really stressed about parent's locked bank account. Hoping it is just the website.... Just got relieved of stress from credit card company not posting the credit card payment that we made. That the week before last. And, think that I got the ambulance bill situated now... that became way too complicated & shouldn't have been an issue at all.. Hope I get to call about it tomorrow morning... but with work work... I don't know that I'll get to. DrBro sleeps late & not sure if he'll be able to resolve it. He doesn't even know about it, yet, and won't know until tomorrow afternoon as he's been working ER all weekend. I may or may not get to call him, tomorrow. My workday will be pretty stressful & a couple important situations need to be resolved, tomorrow, if at all possible. At least I don't have the extra stress that revolved around Dad's catheter anymore. That had been a source of stress for over 6 months. Now, that it's out... just so hoping that it doesn't have to go back in, again... Fed dogs. Drank 4 or 5 glasses of water, today. Dieted successfully. CD

Cheeseburger pie with mixed reviews plus someone else doing most of the dishes sounds like a small win to me.
You've had a lot to deal with over several months, cando. It sounds like some of other people's errors are starting to get fixed. It shouldn't have needed your nudging, but...
Sleep well.

goldenthreads - I logged on after a week or so of not getting much done and was so inspired by your last post and your completed list! i know it was a few days ago, but Thank you! The cheerleaders and your use of the word "inspired" have started my day off positively. Yesterday, while looking for things to get rid of, I found a pair of dice. I expect the rattle of the dice to be much more satisfying than the computer's random number generator.
I will be back in a few hours. Weeding needs to happen first; it cannot wait for a roll of the dice in the kind of heat we're going to have.
Inspiring! Imagine that. Me?

Today's list. It's not very ambitious, but this will result in a cleaner place and other good stuff. I'm hoping to get most of this done before I leave to take daughter grocery shopping this evening! Her schedule this week is weird. Shopping the evening of the Fourth (and Saturday night!)--will it be only somewhat crowded, eerily quiet, or really full with people picking up five last-minute items each? Will be reported later.
Roomba kitchen.
Dust bedroom.
- Wash one load.
- Pay bills.
- Go through mail and newspapers.
- Call Mom.
- Communicate with Friend 1.
- Communicate with Friend 2.
- Minimize stuff on working desk.
- Strip and make bed. (I'm afraid this one is hard, because I'll have to move the stuff surrounding the bed to have full access. I'm really looking forward to clean sheets tonight!)
A) Rolled 1 and 3. Off I go! B) Rolled 1 and 3 again. Laundry and papers.
While dusting, I discovered a hanger on the low shelf of my nightstand. Why? I do not know. As I turned to leave the room, I saw the same hanger on my bed. This explains so much--my head gets busy with other stuff and doesn't know what my hands are doing.
