Yikes - the washing machine had stopped and the clothes were soaking for hours! So, I finished the cycle and now they are hung up to dry. They would be ready to pack tonight if I had remembered this load hours ago, but oh well - I will pack them in the morning. Only about 6 to 8 items.
NEXT: Go downstairs and find my keys (might be in my car) and mom's keys, go outside and switch locations of our cars. Hers needs to be moved over to the other side of the driveway, then back mine out and park it in the street, then park mom's in the garage and then move mine onto the other side of the driveway facing out so that I can pack it easier. Oh my! Ugh - don't want to do this, but let's get it over with... It will also help to have this done before my nephew arrives and adds another car to the mix!

Yay - cars are moved and I answered a work email.
NEXT: Continue vacuuming bedroom/bathroom where nephew will sleep including area of bedspread where my cat likes to sleep! Would be wonderful to finish up that task so that the room is ready when he gets here.

Finished vacuuming bedroom and bathroom and moved vacuum hose out into small alcove in hallway. There's still another step - but my back was bothering me, so I will tackle that soon. Meanwhile...
Oh nephew just texted mom and will be here in about 45 minutes, so I have a little time.
NEXT: pack for 5 minutes

Ok - got more clothes in bags and moving right along in the packing arena. Also found some receipts of items that my mom wants to reimburse me for, so I added those up.
NEXT: Go downstairs and spend 5 minutes organizing food in cabinet - what should I take home with me?

Dealt with all cabinet food, may try to organize fridge food later this evening so that it's ready to put in the cooler tomorrow morning.
NEXT: Wet a few paper towels and wipe kitty spots on bathroom floor...

I am home after being away for 10 days and struggling with re-entry, which is normal, but still frustrating! I have almost zero focusing ability, so trying tiny turtle steps, one at a time.
NEXT: Get up, find bag in bag collection to use as scoop bag and go scoop the kitty pan!

Ok - something done - got bag, scooped pan (no floor piles! although I bet there's one downstairs...) and then decided to replenish kitty food and water. Yay.
I'm ready to doze off, but can I do something else? I will go into the storage room and see if I have any brown rice, which I would love to make for dinner if I can muster up the motivation.

Ok - found some rice. So tired...
NEXT: I don't wanna do anything!!! I just took a few deep breaths and I will now find backpack and find two work-related papers that I need to complete a task.

Ok - found two papers which spurred me to respond to a related email, which then spurred me to start a second email, but then I got a calendar invite to discuss something that I had contacted someone about earlier, so we are now on zoom trying to figure a technical issue out (I'm waiting for them to figure it out!)
When this is over, I will - write 2nd email related to the two papers that I found!

Ok - short meeting finally over (this particular person rambles on and on) and I created and sent the second email. I also found my phone charger in my pile of recent trip stuff and plugged in my phone while the person was rambling!
NEXT: Find and complete email that I started earlier - which also involves finding another email with info and cutting and pasting that info into the other email. Oh my. I'm so tired, but would love to finish this quick task right now...

Yay - I stuck with it and finished and sent that email, another tiny task done.
NEXT: 5 minutes on work task ORIN - check to see if items submitted last week have been processed...

That only took about a minute and then I was spurred on to do another work-related tiny task.
NEXT: Go downstairs and put away the few dish items that are in the drainer.

Hi gunnachange and I can relate! Focus is already flagging today, so need to pare it down to one thing at a time... NEXT: Finish filling out two forms that I need to submit (although now I'm realizing that I'm going to have to scan them or can I just take photos?)
