I have had a slow start for the week. I did exercise and placed several orders for things I need, and all of the orders together took a long time. But now I got them done, and can start working on the rest of my list.

bree Sending good thoughts and prayers for you! It seems like you are an integral part of the company so I'm hoping for the best. But it is difficult - keeping your job will mean others (possibly friends) will lose theirs. Such tough times! Practice self care this week - lots of cat cuddles!

Good morning! Wow, lots of people already working on this Monday--I hope this means a super productive week for all of us.
Today is another really hot day so once again I will mostly stay inside and alternate short work periods with lots of sitting by the air conditioner. So far we've all had breakfast, and I went outside to throw some scraps out for the birds and to fill up the water bowl. This is the second day in a row that I saw crows in the tree in the yard next door--today one was sitting on a branch cawing away--I took some peanuts and threw them very obviously and loudly onto the cement slab outside the back fence, near the alley. The crow was pretty high up so I don't know if he saw me or not, but when I looked out an hour later the peanuts were gone. There are squirrels around so they could have taken them too, but crows are smart and observant and it doesn't take them long to catch on to treats. I miss the crows from my old neighborhood, so it would be nice to get to know the ones here.
TO DO:
Clean up from breakfasts
5 minutes each:
Desks 3rd room Plants Plant room Paperwork

So sorry to see this Bree! I hope your job is safe. So many companies are going through hard times because of Covid. I am having some system issues today. I still cant get into my work system. I am in one of the applications we use but it keeps dumping me out. I think my laptop is tired like I am.
My beautiful dinner from yesterday was a delicious lunch today and tomorrow for my parents! I love saving time on cooking.
Diane - I love how steadily you work on your projects! You figure out a plan then carefully work your plan.
Itsybitsy and OnTheMend and Peaceseeker - you are chugging right along as well!! Pheonixcat - I think cat cuddles are in order for everyone!

Ohblondie, I hope they can fix your computer issues. I take it you can still get help with computer stuff even though you are at home?
Next:
Start a load of laundry 10 minutes on plants Call neighbor to see if he can recommend a gutter cleaner or roofer Delete 50 emails

Good afternoon, everypony! thanks from me, too, for such a positive start this morning, ohblondie . bree ack I can't imagine that kind of stress.
Diane M loves crows. When she hears "her" murder, she caws back really loudly! it startled me, but also cracked me up. Blackbirds surround me from much of the artwork. I gave her a small piece I commissioned for myself, based on McCartney's lyrics. It fits in her house much better than mine. I admire your commitment to exercising, OnTheMend ! I never made the connection between stains and ADD peaceseeker , but it explains a LOT
I've been dealing with some sad/bad news. XSOs nephew was in a climbing accident. he's in the ICU. The global news about the Canadian ice shelf is devastating. I stayed up all night watching a whole season on Netlflix of a show that I knew would be inspiring. I feel moved to action this morning.
DONE: stashed away all my "furniture" (bins and totes) so the cleaners can clean figured out what to wear and got dressed greeted M checked online balance checked email checked notifications prepped for zoom meeting with client took meds with coffee
had meeting wrote up notes on blog transferred to email and sent checked notifications
I am looking forward to a nap--after the cleaners are done, as I slept from 6:00a to 10:00a
NEXT UP: check livestream check in w/ XSO do MLPM revise my schedule as I just remembered I'm heading out of town tomorrow night

Good afternoon scholar, I will wish the best for XSO's nephew.
How funny that your friend caws back at the crows. I've never done that, because I understand that they have quite a few different sounds that they make to communicate to each other, and I didn't want to inadvertently sound like I was saying something bad! Although you might remember the story about how I made ticking noises to call them for treats, and one time one of the crows sat above me on a tree branch, looked down, and mimicked my sound. A lovely moment for me. I really miss them, I hope the ones here start hanging around our yard more often.
My neighbor gave me the name of a roofing company he used and liked, but when I tried to look them up I can't find them--I have a feeling he got the name wrong. But I did find a company less than a mile away from here, that has very good reviews online, I will probably call them to see about an estimate--they do roof repairs and they clean gutters too.
Next:
Get lunch for my sister Move laundry to dryer Make lunch for myself and eat Check out the next book series I'm thinking of starting

Thank you mylittlescholar! I have several strong motivators and so I have promised myself to put exercising and self care on the highest priority! I'm glad you noticed! therwise I might say to myself that I don't have time or energy and days would become months... I have decided it is part of a good life and self love I want to implement in my life. I haven't had a very good day, but I am slowly still working on my list. It's past 10 PM here but I will do couple of more tasks today. Them off to relax and sleep.
