Just realized I have been avoiding the paperwork. Even went to the garage and worked there yesterday.
So, today, here are steps broken down: 1) bring boxed files down to the office or to the back door (for storage in the garage) 2) receipts in box or file 3) bring labels from junk drawer to office 4) file "current" folders into filing cabin 5) have new file folders ready with labels and pen to create permanent files 6) consolidate where possible (I think I have too many files)

Ugh, her account is always hard to balance because she has auto payments, and when she writes a check she doesn't write it clearly in the register.
Next, I'm going to the library to pick up my 2 books, and to return 4.

Got home from Matins. Going into a hot spell, so watered the side yard that only has a drip hose. DH carried down two boxes for me from upstairs to the garage and put them away. Found the labels for the file folders. Thinking about a box to corrall the receipts as I'd rather deal with the other papers and files first. Helped DH in the garage, then decided to sweep out the front and the garage door edge. Lined a small trash can, then used windex on the top of the garage filing cabinet and work table. Continued with the windex to the patio furniture (why do I assume that outdoor tables don't need wiping down like the inside ones do?). Wiped down the BBQ with the remaining life on the paper towel. It was pleasant puttering outside in the early morning sun. I spend far too much time indoors.
Next: take a break until 10:00 and enjoy my second cup of coffee. Write a to-buy list on my phone for this afternoon. Research frame restoration and possible metal work restoration for the icon. Make a mammogram appointment for next week, if possible. I am one year overdue. Make a dermatology appointment that got cancelled in mid-March due to COVID. Send out packages on the upcoming vacation rental guests.

After I came home from the library I had to take a long reading break in front of the air conditioner. The dog went out and had a meal, I had my own lunch, and I moved a package of shingles to the basement door area so I can put them out tomorrow for the roof repair. I had no idea shingles were so heavy!
Next:
Get lunch for my sister and help with commode 10 minutes PEEPing Clean bird cage

it is finally friday
Our perspective is so different depending on if we're working or retired! I thought this morning--I can't believe it's Friday again so soon--the weekend comes around so fast! *****************
Diane - this thought crossed my mind as I was typing this. For some folks the weeks fly by, for some folks the weekend comes too quickly - especially for those who work on weekends. this was entirely from my point of view - the weeks can get long.....
****************************************
and I just realized that i never posted this message this morning. It has been sitting here all day.

Good afternoon oust, good for you for tackling a big job like closet reorganization, especially in the hot summer.
I still have not done the bird cage, after I got my sister's lunch I went down to the basement for something and remembered I wanted to rip up and put out another carpet roll, so I did that instead.
Next:
Finish last list Send 2 friend emails that I've been putting off all week Call doctor's office about bloodwork early next week

Sigh, I'm going to have to get a new doctor. He told me to come in for bloodwork and a blood pressure check/blood pressure monitor check Monday or Tuesday as a walk in, no appointment needed. I called today to ask the receptionist the best time of day to do that, and she said, first of all, we don't do bloodwork here, secondly, you'll need an appointment for a blood pressure check because the only person here who can do that is the doctor.
I do not trust my health to this doctor...and no one else around here takes my insurance. This is exactly why I stayed away from doctors for so long.
Anyway...
Next:
Place grocery order for tomorrow
5 minutes each:
Desks Floors Plants
Plant room Paperwork
