 Hi sidestep and skatters. More good wishes to you. Put up new shower curtain. Cleaned parts of wall in bathroom. Wiped off top of cabinet and cleaned mirror. Sterilized toilet seat and hinges. Donated some things at church. Wiped off top of fridge. Made good progress on getting a package ready to mail. Pushing myself to do much more than dailies. It takes much deliberate up-and-do. |

NewLifeToday Great job on your "more than dailies"! That's where I struggle. Heck, I guess I struggle with it all! Happy holidays to you! Tomorrow my daughter is coming over to do some Christmas baking. So I really need to focus on the kitchen, along with other regular weekend chores. I am also terribly behind on laundry. Don't feel like making a long list (at least not right now) so I am just going to WIT for the time being! TaDa: Up and at 'em early today (8am!) Made grocery list Ran to grocery store Clean out fridge Put away groceries Change litter Take out garbage and litter Bring logs in for a fire! Sort and start laundry Start fire Load dishwasher Filled up half a trash bag Put on shoes and turn on music Spend 10 minutes in the kitchen (big counter) Reboot laundry Folded pants from dryer Spray down toilet and bathroom sink to soak Spend 10 min in kitchen (stove top) Scrubbed inside and out of toilet Spend 10 min in kitchen (little counter) Scrubbed bathroom sink Spend 10 min in kitchen (putting stuff away, gathering garbage) Spent 45 min in kitchen (that is not a tiny step!! will this kitchen ever get done?) Take DS to work More kitchen. Unloaded dishwasher Cleaned inside and out of microwave Loaded the dishwasher (all the dishes will be clean!!) Reboot laundry Fold laundry in dryer Water plants Clean kitchen sink Cook dinner Cleaned half the kitchen floor Clear other half of floor Put away hallway groceries Empty bathroom garbage Sunday update: DD and her boyfriend are on their way! A couple of hours early... which means I have to JAM to get the Living room done! Off to do that! If I don't see y'all before Christmas, have a good holiday!

skatters Happy Holidays to you, too.  Congrats on that giant TaDa list. Thanks for your kind encouragement. I gave away most of my black tea, as I cannot tolerate it anymore. Found some decaf black tea this AM, and put it in a bag to give away, too. All black tea will be out. Made great progress on laundry (which is all by hand). Almost all out-of-town Christmas cards sent. A couple will have to get New Year's cards. Presents mostly taken care of. A few steps and rest, try to recuperate, a few more steps. To push beyond the dailies, and get things done. sidestep Happy Holidays to you!

My tiny steps need to be more plentiful now.
Sorting, tossing, donating.
Preparing for pared-down move.
Much in car to donate to church.
Large bag ready to go to dumpster.
More dishes to wash, dry and donate.
Looking, thinking, planning, doing, resting, in various order.

Hi sidestep. Thanks for your kind thoughts. Congrats on your TaDa's. Hope your front walk is nice to walk on. ==== Took a round of donation things to church. May have given away something too soon.... Started new bag of things to donate. Tossed a few papers and made a pile to shred. |

Hi everyone!! Long time no see! I am desperately needing help - the house is the worst it has been in YEARS due to some weird circumstances that have pretty must resolved themselves. But now I need my house to recover! And that will be no easy feat. And to make matters worse, my hot water heater isn't working, so I'll have to call maintenance to come in. And cold showers are NO FUN. So I have to do bulk work, in a hurry. But that's ok - it desperately needs to get done, and this is the catalyst to get started.
This list will (hopefully) be bigger than a "Tiny" step - but this is where I feel most comfortable for now! I am not going to spend a lot of time creating a huge list, as I get caught up in perfection. Instead, I will work in threes, and list my TaDas! (S) is what my son gets done!
TaDa:
Up at a decent time (for me anyway)
Meds and caffeine
Breakfast
Open up all packages and discard the boxes/packaging
Reboot laundry/fold dryer load
Picked up first layer of garbage in my nest
Put smelly wax melt on
Unloaded dishwasher (S)
Loaded dishwasher (S)
Took bag of packaging materials and bag of kitchen garbage to dumpster
Installed smart light bulb and app
Reboot laundry
Scooped litter (this is huge for me - I usually give up and just swap out the whole box once a week!)
Emptied out rib remnants out of instant pot from last week (gross!)
Picked up a black bags worth of garbage from kitchen (S)
Emptied laundry room garbage can
ToDo:
Reboot laundry
Gather garbage from bathroom
Sort laundry
