WELCOME TO AUGUST WITing!
The guidelines for WIT are simple: - Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. ☝️ - Do one more little thing. - Do another little thing. - Once you have 3 things done, post them here! - Post the next 3 things you plan on doing. - Go forth and conquer, return and post again. - You aren't required to do the 3 things you had planned on -- just get any 3 things done and then post proudly.
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed, or just need to break your tasks down into something manageable, you are in the right place! If the next 15 minutes consists of: - Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying 😢 - Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen - Put away book 📚 - Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash . . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE-DOM !!!
You could post: Ta-Da's - Took pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Threw away McDonald's wrappers Then your To-Do's: - Bring plates and glasses to kitchen - Put dirty socks in hamper - Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away.
Whether you do those 3 to-do's,or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post.
Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da!
If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.
Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das. YOU DESERVE THEM

Next: was 3 area rugs (maybe even 4 or 5?) I did it! I washed all 5 area rugs! I have been procrastinating this since June, partially because there has not been long enough stretch of dry, sunny days for them to air dry outdoors. I was sick of seeing those rug rolls on my hallway and decided today's the day. I put them in the drying room to dry. It's not ideal as there are only lines, and nothing sturdy to hang the rugs up to drip and dry, so it's possible some or all of the rugs might get a bit stretched. But I am so happy to have this task done! I might come back tomorrow or later this evening, but now I need to rest a bit!

I think I gave up at some point yesterday.... we shifted a truck load of firewood and it is dirty and dusty and I started thinking what's the point of cleaning when we are actually, actively bringing dirt into the house..... What's the point... But apparently I can't completely give up - stuff just needs to be done. I can't just stay in bed all day, even though I try.... Start of a new month and there is signs of Spring around... Time for fresh starts.... Breakfast Researched accommodation for upcoming holiday Clean hen shed Maybe some else outside Shower
