Good morning (barely) August WITers Almost afternoon! Today's plan 1) get to baseline which to me means PEEP the obvious and some very small level of cleaning. 2) Baking - have four things planned 3) Sort my never ending "hanging project" 4) go to the office and pick up a bunch of stuff for prolonged work from home. 1) clear counter tops of "everything that doesn't belong" 2) laundry switch 3) wipe down countertops

Your cheerful little taunting smiley made me laugh, and get out of my comfy chair, and get going again. So I got dressed, took care of the clothes from the dryer, and am having lunch now. Then I will proceed promptly with the next part of my list because I have publicly declared it so, and therefore must. Thanks for the kickstart! Good luck with this next part of your list! Okay, finished with lunch. Off to do dishes, etc.

Great job everyone!
Hello WITers and help!! Tired and cranky today, yet don't want to let the entire day slip away.
TA DA Joined yoga class this morning and mostly focused, although my mind is very scattered these days Folded and put away 15 pieces of dry hanging laundry in my room Made a nice simple lunch for me and mom
TO DO Anything!!! Take laundry basket downstairs Get small load out of dryer and put in basket Bring basket upstairs
It will be a miracle if I can get up and do this...

...help!! Tired and cranky today, yet don't want to let the entire day slip away.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TO DO Anything!!! Take laundry basket downstairs Get small load out of dryer and put in basket Bring basket upstairs It will be a miracle if I can get up and do this... How about you impersonate a zombie or a sleepwalker or Frankenstein's monster or a slow motion sports highlight and do your three laundry tasks. You have my blessing to do this at whatever tempo you like and be a silly version of yourself or anyone else while you do those things. (I have to make little games of the mundane to get through them.) Now go ahead and sit up straight and then stand... P.S. You were too fast for me to get this off in time. Enjoy your walk.

goldenthreads - thanks for the clever and amusing idea!! TA DA Got clothes and shoes on and strolled for 20 minutes with Mom. Really hot outside, she went a little further than expected, which was a bonus (trying to keep her moving) TO DO Stretch for 5 minutes while watching work-related podcast on YT Scoop kitty pan Pick up one kitty floor pile

Way to push through even if you have the "don't wannas"! seahorse goldenthreads babz25 Good job on the license! Get to keep your job another day! 1) clear counter tops of "everything that doesn't belong" 2) laundry switch 3) wipe down countertops Had a MASSIVE watermelon on the counter for over a week. SO HEAVY. After I started cutting it - realized it was seeded instead of seedless which makes much bigger melons. Ate a small piece. Cut up half and put in a bowl in the fridge. Carried the other half (I think I needed a forklift) to the other fridge where it sits on a shelf by itself. Hopefully - it won't tip the fridge over. Or collapse the shelf. Costco doesn't mess around with their melons. For a flat price - you can't beat the value assuming you can eat it before it goes bad. Next: 1) laundry switch 2) start baking - think chocolate chip cookies are first on the hit parade 3) probably eat lunch before I start that otherwise no cookie dough is safe from me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ goldenthreads - Hopefully that will motivate you for the rest of the day! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ renewed my license! yay! dont know why paperwork is so daunting, but it truly is! that and phone calls ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you for the cheerleaders! I am very pleased for you about the license. I've seen it on your other list, and I believe I know exactly how you were feeling about it having been hanging over your head. Yep, getting up the nerve to start and plow through paperwork and phone calls can be truly daunting for a lot of us.

1) dried clothes2) washed dishes3) snapped the "before" photos of my desk and table
1) Put away dishes. 2) Mix the dry ingredients for the zucchini bread. 3) Send the before pictures to friend who really wants to be here to help me purge and organize. I'm not letting anyone into my living space right now, though, so she will get the before, in the middle, and after pictures. She has helped me before, she loves it and is great at it, and I know she's sad to be left out, so this will have to do.
