What does PUPA stand for? PUPA = pick up, put away Others you might find around here: ETE = Erase/Eliminate The Evidence = clean up after doing cooking, a project, etc. PEEP = a Place for Everything, Everything in its Place Thanks GoldenThreads for that helpful information.

Hi erniethecat - I love your sweet kitty avatar! TA DA Put away the clean dishes Washed a few dirty dishes (next batch soaking) Vacuumed out snow boots Got out clothes to wear this afternoon TO DO Go into back room Find box that has kitty litter deposits from rodents What is involved in emptying the items in the box and discarding the litter - I'd like to add it to today's trash before it goes out Note to everyone - rodents like World's Best Cat Litter - it's made of corn

erniethecat - yes, I found out the hard way that rodents are attracted to corn-based cat litter! Oh my! TA DA Ugh - emptied the contents of the box Emptied into the trash downstairs the amazing amount of kitty litter that rodents had collected in said box (wow - productive little beasts!) Breathed a sigh of relief that I did that cause I've been putting it off (still have to deal with contents of box - old stuff that I want to keep) TO DO 5 minutes - Remove walking/skiing clothes from bed and put in designated box (work on clearing off bed if still time left Wash 1 dish Quickly make fruit/nut platter for breakfast

Why is it that things we dread end up taking no time at all? It took 2 minutes to sort out the ziplock bags (which have been breeding like tupperware), and I've been looking at them for months!

TADA woohoo!! Got dressed and to the PO in time to check my box and my mom's card was finally there! Got my DB2's tiny gift a few days ago, so now everything has been delivered! Came back and immediately loaded car with recycling and trash and got in line across the street (almost left because I didn't want to wait and would "come back", but it closes at noon and I waited for probably 5 minutes and no it's done and I'm inside with boots and pants off (jammies on!) and don't have to go back again! Wallet was in car (yay!), so brought that inside Texted DM that card arrived
TO DO Quickly sort mail and recycle/trash whatever I can Put paper that I finally found after months of looking on bed so that I can discuss with friend later today (money that she owes me from a girls' ski weekend a year ago! I kept forgetting to follow up and then lost the paperwork) Clear off bed!
