Washed and hung in the sun to dry- Bipap hose, then sterilized the mask and water tray-
Got the wheelie bin close to the front door for loading , trash day tomorrow.
Shredded old newspapers for the compost bin, needs dry stuff, too many veggies.
Made coffee with the last of the cream... considering the canned Coconut milk cream stuff

YES.. HIRE HELP. You will not regret the 'sparing' of your energy to get stuff done, AND it inspires you to keep going.
I had a serious bad fall doing (of all things) "spring cleaning" for the first time in several years. I hired a lady 4 months later, she had just started a cleaning business, she charged too much ($30. an hour) but I desperately needed all the help especially to clean the grotty shower a few months later!! Good luck..this is what money is FOR I say!

@h2h - I agree, hiring help is a wonderful thing! I did it a few times after I broke my foot, just for basic maintenance. Wish I could afford to do it more!
Sorry about not posting yesterday. DS woke me up early and wanted to run errands. He doesn't drive, but he doesn't ask for much. And lord knows I force him to go with me often enough. We'll be doing the same thing tomorrow.
Kitty's eye is bothering her, so I'll be taking her to the vet. I also have a killer headache, so I won't be doing much before work.
TaDa:
Got vertical
Took headache meds
Caffeinated
Showered
ToDo:
Get dressed
Brush teeth and hair
Make pasta salad

mouseanne - good job on your chores and errands yesterday!! We've been really hot here too, but not quite that hot! We stick to the low 90s, I think. Awfully early for summer temps! I have been struggling with me foot lately... have an appointment on Thursday. Pretty well stayed off it yesterday, so at least it didn't bother me over night. TaDa: Got vertical Got dressed ToDo: Feed cats Get caffeine Put crock pot stuff on

Man oh man... I am totally NOT motivated today. I do not want to clean the kitchen whatsoever. But musts are the kitchen, litter and laundry. Otherwise I am going to be hungry, smelly and naked for the week! I am totally going to baby step this list though.

Sweetie sidestep it's your life and thread, I'm NOT complaining. I'm tickled to join/share here! Posted this an hour ago in WITs: It's 77 outside, I have 3 Windows open, a.c. set at 82, and it keeps coming on. Up nearly 2 hours and all I've done is coffee and glowy. Forcing myself to get with it today! Two young men are coming at 2:00 to help me move furniture and carry boxes. Heyaw! (As in giddy-up!) Ok, our version:  Dress face hair teeth Eat bfast Clean bath, at least the sink Swiffer floors, so dusty Change, make bed De-gross kitchen Eat lunch Put groceries Get stuff ready Attention, mouseanne, you have four hours twenty-three minutes. I now have 3 hours 30 min. Bed is almost cleared. Eggs are in IP |

Ooh, mouseanne, will this be your 1st time using your IP to make hard boiled eggs? I've recently been using a cute 'lil egg cooker that I love that gets me making egg salad sandwiches much more frequently. But, I forgot to pick up more eggs, oops! Good luck with your hired help moving stuff. I hope it goes well!
