1) Put away dishes.2) Mixed the dry ingredients for the zucchini bread.3) Sent the before pictures to friend.
1) Finish listening to the thing I'd started. I'd stopped because I found this one speaker's voice to be unbearable. I don't need to listen to her; I will just forward past her part and listen to the rest. 2) Grate the zucchini, finish mixing the zucchini batter, and bake it. 3) Spend five minutes tossing or finding new homes for the clutter on the desk.

I had zucchini bread on my list for today - think it will be pushed until tomorrow. 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. Frozen pizza in the oven which is supper. Made four cookie sheets - 2 of chocolate chip (with chocolate and butterscotch chips) and 2 of snickerdoodles (with toffee chips). Didn't burn anything. . Best tip I have ever read for making cookies like chocolate chip is to take them out of the oven halfway through baking and lightly drop the cookie sheet on your counter top. I usually drop it from about 6 inches and do it at least twice - sometimes three times. Then bake for the remainder of the time. It flattens out the cookies - they are nice and chewy and crispy . 1) eat dinner 2) change clothes 3) gather up stuff for the office 4) drop off stuff at office and pick up a ton of stuff 5) drop off cookies to a friend - she will be happy - huge cookie hound.

oh gosh narcissistic neighbour. i guess everyone deserves water, just.
i did acceptably well on 2 of my tasks and really killed it in the kitchen. also i cleaned the bathroom sink with a toothbrush, in the places that could only be cleaned with a toothbrush. i need more cleaning toothbrushes. so much grout to clean too.
all my efforts only show how much else there is to do.

1) Watch local news. 2) Review materials in preparation for tomorrow's phone call. 3) Get dressed for bed.

Brought back two carts of stuff. Wanted to go over there when no one was around but it was WARM especially with a mask. Going to leave it all in the vehicle until tomorrow Gathered up the last of the garbage and recycling and DH took it to the street. Two very full recycling bins plus a bunch of garbage including our broken planter box that was making our front door look trashy. Good night!

1) Wrap and put away bread. 2) Read some of tomorrow's book club book. 3) Continue reading until I'm ready to sleep. I am not fond of this book, but it is short, easy reading. The hard part will be thinking of anything to contribute to the discussion.

Happy Monday!
My first item today is to do a final larger task for work (old work place). Since it's a larger task (and causing anxiety) I will conquer it in 15 minute segments. I am not sure how many segments it'll take, maybe only two. I hope that max. 3. So I will put these segments as my items here, and in case I am able to make it quicker I'll edit my 3 tasks.
I will also eat my breakfast as I work. Right now I am listening to "I Am" affirmations, they are a fantastic way fo starting a day.
1. 15 minutes 2. 15 minutes 3. 15 minutes

I have such an anxiety about this task and I keep procrastinating it. I have been doing other things from my list, so time hasn't been wasted but I need to do THIS particular thing. Anyone can help me with accountability right now? I think I will reduce the time segments to 10 minutes. My timer is ready. 1. 10 minutes 2. 10 minutes 3. 10 minutes

Hi OnTheMend - I'll be around for a while - go do 10 minutes and let me know how it goes Thank you razy! I just wrote another anxiety inducing email, which was shorter task, and so it was much more bearable. But now: Timer on and 10 minutes of working on the task at hand! It will be wonderful to get it done!

10 minutes done! I didn't get very far, but I found all the documents and info I need for this task, and created a word document and found the instructions. Now a few minute long break. Then another 10 minutes, where I actually get to start writing the document.
