Cando, I hope you're cooking a delicious dinner!
Yes, I did find a packed box that will work perfectly for the bedside table. It sounds weird, but I want to get rid of the bedside table (actually a 2 shelve storage cube) and put the box there in its place just so I have something to put my phone and a few other things on. I'm trying to not wait until the last minute to throw things in the dumpster, so every week I try to look for things that can go in there now. But I still need a surface for my stuff, so I will put the box there when I get around to cleaning off the storage cube/bedside table, and then throw that in the dumpster this week.

Thanks for the motivation. I made a good dent in the Spare Bedroom/Storage Room. I got a late start because I couldn't get my bluetooth speakers to work and had to figure that out. Then I couldn't stop after 15 minutes so I worked until I ran out of ideas. I also washed some more dishes and took care of the pets dinner time.
Now I need to do some work work. I will try to play again later tonight or tomorrow for sure.
You all have a good and productive evening!

Great job, startingover ! dtesposito I'm glad you found a box that's the right size & will work. You're doing great getting ready for the move! I didn't make anything spectacular. I just made WW Vegtable Soup. Haven't eaten it, yet. It will be done in about 10 minutes. I'm a slow cook, and it's hard when there's not enough clear surfaces... It smells really good, though! Back in a bit. CD

1- Dishes 10 min. -- Put away hand-washed stuff from drainboard & unloaded dishwasher., 2nd round-did lots of dishes. I had intended to only do 10 minutes worth, but I really wanted to get a load in the dishwasher & some of the hand-washed stuff done. So, I washed 3 sinkfuls including a pot, wine glasses, etc. The dishwasher is running. I managed to get almost everything either hand-washed or rinsed. I got everything that was in both of the sinks, and dishes/etc from 2 sink counters + a pot & a few other things. I still have more to wash... cookware & containers, & 1 casserole that was already rinsed pretty well. 2- 2 - find parent's checks & order more, if needed. Pay bills, check on parent's submitted LTC invoices, find & complete direct deposit form for parents, sent pmt to The Cottages. 3 - Find/scan/send to DrBro Parent's Tax papers-download some other tax papers related to parents 4 - Organize/go thru parent's papers Dining Room Table/shred -10 min. done. 5 - Laundry Folded/hung sm. load of laundry & put it away., 2nd round-Folded another load of laundry & put it away. 6 - Menu planning, grocery shopping, plan Passover meals, grocery list. 7 – kitchen trash
8 – empty trash all rooms Done.
9 - Cook. Done
Next: "1" dishes.
I just had a phone call from the nurse at the ALF-Memory Care that my parents are in. A staff member found him on lying on the floor of a bathroom. The nurse checked him out & he is okay. Couldn't find anything on him... scratch or contusion or anything. He is not in pain. He walked off with his walker... singing.
Whew! between both parents, that's the 3rd fall in the past week. CD

Oh cando, I'm so glad your dad is okay!
I got a call from a friend that has been checking with me every night to see how my sister is, so we talked for longer than we should have. Now I have half an hour until I have my last dog walk of the night. I'm going to do a few things to get ready for bed now so that I can keep to my earlier sleep schedule--I've been trying to get ready during the 8pm hour so that when we come in from our 9pm walk I can just finish up and get into bed.
I hope you guys want to do some more dice game tomorrow, it always pushes me to get more done. And cando--get some rest this weekend too!

dtesposito Hope you get a good night's sleep. Also, how's your sister doing? I hope she is doing better, now. Well, I did lots of dishes. I had intended to only do 10 minutes worth, but I really wanted to get a load in the dishwasher & some of the hand-washed stuff done. So, I washed 3 sinkfuls including a pot, wine glasses, etc. The dishwasher is running. I managed to get almost everything either hand-washed or rinsed. I got everything that was in both of the sinks, and dishes/etc from 2 sink counters + a pot & a few other things. I still have more to wash... cookware & containers, & 1 casserole that was already rinsed pretty well. Next: "4" which brings me to "5" laundry. So, not in the mood to do laundry right now. Hmmm. oh well. CD

cando Saw your video of your folks you posted. Super sweet and I love that all those dogs are allowed to party down with the rest of them! Glad you revived the dice game - one of my favorites from early days! I have a bunch of hot spots that are building up due to staying at home so after I get cleaned up: 1) set up the outside spot for cleaning outside deliveries. 2) set up spot in basement for exercise 3) clean off kitchen counters 4) remake master bedroom 5) clean out the spare bedroom - mostly recycling 6) clean up family room 7) clean up other spare room - mostly laundry in progress And, the winner is - #4 PC

phoenixcat So glad you're joining in. Yes, they have so much fun there. We love the dogs, too. Makes the place seem more normal, I think, for my parents. I just put a load in the washer & finished my hair. Next "6" which bring me to " 2"- find parent's checks & order more, if needed. Pay bills, check on parent's submitted LTC invoices, find & complete direct deposit form for parents, send pmt to The Cottages. I'll either just do one of these or spend 10 minutes on #2.
I finished getting ready for the day except for breakfast, teeth & eye liner (for if I go out at some point). No need for lipstick if I'm wearing a mask... which I've yet to make.

I did not even get to my last item, I took "all stray books" very literally and it took forever to get them all out of the LR. However, it looks much neater in here right now.
I need to take a break, I'm getting achy from being on my feet. When I come back I will move the laundry to the dryer and finish the last item on my list.
