Good late afternoon, everyone, today the middle part of the day got away from me! I did manage a 1 hour nap, not sure if I felt better afterward but I'm sure it'll do me good in the long run.
OnTheMend, looks like I missed you, I'm sure you're sleeping already. Are you going to pack things before you have an apartment to move to? Why are you moving?
The heat really has me down today--the last several cooler days reminded me of how much the heat affects me and how much more energy I have when it's in the 70s--now it looks like we're right back to the heat. Lower 90s for the next two days and then upper 80s for the rest of the week and possibly back into the 90s for the weekend. I was really hoping that the rest of the summer would be better.
TO DO:
Put groceries away from this morning 10 minutes on plants 10 minutes on paperwork Get dinner for my sister

I'm glad you got a nap in, dtesposito . Tadas: Looking for LARGE check -- Went thru papers on TV table. There are now 2/3rd less papers on that table. I guess you could say that TV table is my desk for personal & parent's stuff. Put 1 recipe into recipe box. 2 papers into trash 13 of parent's papers/paper packets to be filed -- moved them off of the TV table, but unfortunately, they were just moved to the Dining Room Table. 2 papers of ours to be filed. Put those in a big box we have -- Yep, in the Dining Room... I know just moving stuff around. Oy! 46 papers into recycle bag 5 papers into "to be shred" bag How many papers can a TV table hold, anyway? No luck! No check found yet... Be back later! This could be an all-nighter. CD

cando Did you do something "practical" with it that you wouldn't normally do? Like put it in your purse or with your deposit slips. Or, in a briefcase or calendar/planner? Or, if related to your parents - with some of their stuff? I'm always putting something aside for "safe" keeping which is completely outside my norm so then I lose it. Good luck!

phoenixcat Yes, it came in while I was in the hospital in May with my Dad. I thought I was missing a $2K check, but it was the larger check that I'm missing. My DH had put it in some supplies that he dropped off to me at the hospital, I think. Or, the day I got home so exhausted from being in the hospital with my Dad it may have come in the mail then. I can't really remember cause I was so exhausted but it definitely came in the mail while Dad was in the hospital for 9 days in May. -- And "yes", I've looked through my purse & wallet once, but now that I went thru the TV Table, my next plan was to empty my purse & wallet completely. I'm also looking for a receipt or two for office supplies from when I was working from home so I can get reimbursed. I'm sure that I have it, ... just have to find it. If I can't, I can probably get it re-written but will probably have to wait a certain length of time. lennon Great job on floor, dishes & drip pans. Tadas: Emptied back bathroom trash & replaced bags Emptied my bedroom trash Emptied front bathroom trash & replaced bags Emptied DD's old room's trash (DH using it as an office, for now). Took 2 bags of trash to outside can Took 4 bags of recyclable bottles/cans/jars to outside can Put away hand-washed stuff from drainboard Unloaded dishwasher Cooked -- "Southwest Chicken Soup" CD

OnTheMend, looks like I missed you, I'm sure you're sleeping already. Are you going to pack things before you have an apartment to move to? Why are you moving? I'm changing my workplace and that's why I'm moving, plus it's just time and I am mentally ready to move on after decedes in this town. I have been meaning to move for years already, I think my whole blog is sprinkled with references for my want to move soon. "Soon" became years but now it's finally happening! Sorry, I don't have time to elaborate here but you can read from my blog more. My first task today is a short Pilates session. Then I'll start working while I'll enjoy breakfast. I have a busy day today! I have posted my full to do list in my blog.

Pilates done. Now wash few dishes by hand, empty and fill dishwasher, wipe kitchen counters, wash kitchen sinks, make breakfast, and pay bills.
Oh and before and after Pilates I did some decluttering and carrying stuff from room to room (like with like for easy and organized packing), and other little bits and bobs.

I put my timer on and tackled my kitchen. I delt with dishes (hand washing and machine), wiped counters + some detailed cleaning, washed sinks, started cleaning the bathroom, washed a flower pot, made breakfast. Now as I eat my breakfast I will pay bills, then my original plan was to cull some papers while I put away accumulated paper I need to keep, but looks like I don't have time for that. So I will just put away the papers before my friends come, and cull the files later. There is not lot of paper to get rid of as I just went through them all in Juneand threw away 20 cm pile of paper. After paper work I could dust a bit, then take a shower.

I don't think I'll have time to do more than this before my friends come to help me, but if I do, I will use the time for moving related tasks.
