NewLifeToday , that's interesting about how you tag someone, because I'm new here, too, and I discovered a different way. You could try it this way, too, and see which you like better. When you're in Create Post, there's an icon you can click on. It has @ with a little blue-shirted person next to it. You just type in their display name, and it shows you any candidates. Then you click on the correct one, and you have it! Carry on, WITers! I'm returning to my usual haunts.

The browser I usually use is old and all those icons don't appear with it. I prefer the old Safari, but the Firefox is up to date.

TaDa: Got some papers and a package ready to take to the post office. Kept my non-squalorous food plan for breakfast. Found info on a couple of local support groups to look into.
ToDo: exercise and shower do something which brings beauty and graciousness into my experience

meds chai cleaned out breadbox of old breadstuffs because spouse will NOT check the breadbox before he buys more. he likes to leave produce in bags to rot rather than put it in the collander loaded dishwasher to within an inch of its life bc we are out of dishwasher pucks cleaned sink then put overflow dishes in re-homed so many things I can't count - for instance, spouse left 3 cans of spray paint on the kitchen table rather than on workstation where the project is took down dirty clothes washed one load did evil woman's back exercises despite pain took out recycling put dead bread in trash salvaged bread bags for dog walks make bed clean stove clean defensible counter struggling to make other counter defensible space, but it's spouse's space so by this afternoon, my work will be wasted (can you tell I am frustrated?) put cans in recycle bin since that is apparently my job took out recycling - also my job get bag of cat poop out of house (also apparently my job) added items to bucket that spouse has left everywhere despite having a million toolboxes that are neatly labeled with what is inside (frustrated; I spent 8 hours organizing them) hide my own tools so he has to use his own put away three pairs of his shoes brought his bike helmet in from outside (why?) clean meat grease large pyrex or decide that can be his job? hold 15 year old cat wish I were mrs. Weasley and could wave a wand because there is still not space on either sofa (cry) write clean and oil wooden kitchen window ledge - but I have to clear it first (cry) oil living room window ledge remove objects from top of stereo receiver so it doesn't overheat - sigh dust it dust speakers water Fernando change towel at cat station hang shelf in bathroom I can't complain to him because he's the one working and cooking, and he did remodel my bathroom beautifully. I'm just so tired of being set up to fail. We waste so much food if I don't take care of the countertops myself. Tools are everywhere. I have to step over a circular saw to get to the freezer, between bikes and over a lawnmower. I am not a large person, but I have to do an obstacle course to get to the freezer. Tool boxes are lying open with tools surrounding them, box empty, which is why I organized them in the first place. ETA: he just complained that I put the fruit in the colander rather than leaving it in bags on the counter. I wish COVID weren't happening; I need to be not here and with a friend.

Great work everyone! Sending hugs soapyclean - you sound mighty frustrated. TA DA Worked on light bulb project and all lights are set except for one in den that needs a 3-way bulb Put light bulbs away Went to SIL's house to bring in a package for her and then opened it to check for damage since it was a little smashed Took mom out for ice cream and we parked at a park to eat it. TO DO 5 minutes work project Check bank account online - it's been a while since I've paid attention to finances check cat pan
