Good morning everyone!
Another weekend is here, it seems they come so quickly. We've all had breakfast, there's a small grocery order coming between 9 and 10, but that's the only appointment/visit today. It will be a hot day though, so I will alternate work with sitting by the air conditioner.
TO DO:
Clean up from breakfasts Put away clean laundry from last night Take all garbage and recycling out 10 minutes on plants
I hope you all have a productive weekend with some time for relaxation added in!
Diane

I'm having a very hard time with physical illness right now. Normally my years of strengthening my mental health make it easier to deal with any physical issues. The pandemic has my mental health off kilter and the added physical illness is bringing up unproductive, untrue thoughts. Admitting it is the first step out of the loop.
I've filled my med minders and taken my morning meds. My DN is coming at 12. I will ask her to do my minimums as she can do them all in 30 minutes. Today my focus is rest, journaling and getting my thinking straight.

Ok just back to complain.
My next door neighbor cuts her lawn all the time!!!!!
Twice a week at least. Lawns here only need weekly
Last night they cut the backyard
Now cutting the front lawn
I can barely tell where she is cutting because it does not need to be cut at all
Then in a few days will do this drill again
I am so sick of listening to that lawn mower!!!!!
My lawn was cut six days ago and it does not need to be cut yet.
I am just so sick of the noise

Hi everyone! I have done quite a bit already today, it's early evening where I live. I still need to muster energy and continue. There are 4 main categories I need to do.
1. house hunting
2. moving company
3. cleaning/prepping for tomorrow's packing party
4. pay bills and quickly declutter my binder for important papers
I came back home not long ago, and need to sit down a bit. Then I will start house hunting, my goal is to send applications to 3 apartments.

Paid some bills asked for a quote for some yard work Mopped the kitchen floor vacuumed the living room, dining room, stairs and hallway swept the hardwoods Funny yardwork story! here I was complaining about my neighbors who had let their property go ...well my neighbor who mows the lawn all the time: I was telling that neighbor I was getting a quote for yardwork and neighbor pointed out another spot and said oh what about there Too? so I think she finds my lawn not quite up to snuff  , although it gets mowed every week and I weed and mulch the gardens, and trim the bushes. But I don’t do a professional job, just the best I can. . that neighbor has a very pristine yard. That neighbor also has no kids!! |

I’m feeling very scattered and not sure what to do next so I wanna make a really concise list of the next five things I’m going to do;
finish getting ready
wash bathroom sink
put laundry in dryer away
move laundry from washer into dryer
finish paying bills

so I think she finds my lawn not quite up to snuff , although it gets mowed every week and I weed and mulch the gardens, and trim the bushes. But I don’t do a professional job, just the best I can. . that neighbor has a very pristine yard. That neighbor also has no kids!! People and their perfect lawns! I knew someone who could not get her newly planted raspberry bushes to grow at the property line. Upon observation and chatting with the neighbor, she discovered that in addition to his keeping up with the mowing, he applied fertilizer and herbicide every week. I appreciate anyone who is willing to keep less than perfect lawn and garden because they are using less water and poison. Your neighbor needs to go inside and wax some furniture, and get a little more dust out of the corners. I'm glad you can laugh a little about her approach. Lawns are a great place to practice good enough.

Great work bree, those are big tasks you've already done! I need to be paying bills too. I am starting to be really tired. It's past 10 PM. Since my last post I have done lot of small things I don't even remember to list now. I also filled and started dishwasher, vacuum cleaned all the floors plus did some detailed vacuuming. Now I am doing another rather tedious task: I have lot of cardboard boxes and packing supplies (packing paper, bubble wrap, etc) which have been sitting around a long time, because I have been planning to move literally for years already. So tonight I have been vacuum cleaning the boxes and organizing the packing supplies by type. I am having a packing party tomorrow with friends, and want the boxes and supplies to be dust and hair free and easily accessible. I have now done a fraction of the job. I don't thinkI'll need to deal with all the boxes/supplies today, but at least I need to deal with several more of them. I have a todo list long as a Finnish winter, but realistically I should start winding down for bed soon. I have a demanding day tomorrow too. But first, a bit more vacuum cleaning those boxes. |

Good going oust! Keep it up! I finished the box vacuuming and packing supply sorting in the livingroom, and will call it a day now. There are more boxes/supplies in my office room, but I will deal with them tomorrow and/or some other day. I will try to wake up earlyish tomorrow, so I could get lots done before my friends come. |
