Hi sidestep! So glad to see you around!! Great job on your laundry! I somehow hurt my back a few weeks ago (that week I was off on vacation) and am doing physical therapy a few times a week. Needless to say, the house has gone even further downhill, with only the bare minimum getting done. I am going to try to remedy that today, but still not overdoing it! I am also going to cook my first real meal in ages... I am so tired of fast/convenience foods. TaDa: Get dressed Go get caffeine Sort/start laundry Strip bed Get ribs in the oven Unload dishwasher Reboot laundry Take meds Eat a snack (hard boiled eggs) ToDo: Load dishwasher Put away crock pots Bring in case of pop from garage and refill fridge

Hello! So glad to be here!! I've been so busy the past few weeks (months?) so I specifically did NOT schedule anything this weekend so I can get stuff done around the house. My back is feeling better too! Everything pretty much needs done, so I am hoping to do LOTS of tiny stuff. My daughter is coming over tomorrow to do laundry, so I need to get mine done today, and I know I won't get as much done with her here tomorrow... so going to push HARD today!
TaDa: Woke up and got dressed at a decent time Caffeinated Took meds Sprayed down toilet to soak Sort and start laundry Put clean laundry back into the dryer to de-wrinkle Load dishwasher Eat lunch
ToDo: Scrub inside of toilet Clean off bathroom vanity (this is a BIG job) Scrub bathroom sink/vanity

HI skatters sidestep Thanks for making progress and posting. I think of you here, and am thankful, and send you love. Am managing to do tiny steps beyond DDD/TR at caregiving no. 1. Cleaned a furnace/AC vent and then sterilized in and out and the cover as best I could. Wiped up areas of floor. Finally discovered the leaky thing on the shelf: a can of flavored seltzer. Got all things wiped down and sterilized there. Wiped down part of a cabinet that was turning from dusty to moldy. Cooking and food prep for family, stocking up for next family caregiver to have less cooking and food prep. Tiny steps beyond the basics. It feels nice to be making the steps.

Way to go, NewLifeToday. Thanks to your earlier posting it reminded me to get new A/C filters so they'll be ready to go after the eventual repair. Keep up the good work.

Handwash done.
Added another D to DDD. The new D is dollars for keeping bills paid. Dinner Dishes Duds Dollars. TR for Trash and Recycling.
That is the basics.
Add at least one thing to the basics every day, whether at my residence or when caring for family.
Whew!
