erniethecat I don't find it tedious because I keep up with it. No pets, no other people, just my stuff. Truth: I do it more often than I need to, because I hate putting away large amounts of clothes. I would scream after 10 minutes of putting away. Today's load is extra small because I am out of my favorite underwear, have little light-colored winter clothing that would otherwise be done with it, and don't want to settle for merely adequate underwear. That's my mood. Also, you can tell your mother that it'd be much noisier to be dealing with dishes while you talk with her. gaylem Hear, hear for kitchen science! oust I hope the snowstorm is manageable for you. Put out recycling. Put away portable charger after charging it (I have two. Guess why?) Hung up the laundry on drying rack. Clean toilet and bathtub. Go for a walk.

goldenthreads I have only 1 portable charger and your post reminded me to take it with me for tomorrow. What does one do with 2 of them? I assume you are talking about the device one uses to provide power to our tablets or phones? pack trash for transport to road four 45 gal bags,relining cans takes time cut up green thing for trash,resulting in four rolls wrapped in strapping tape 2nd dog walk clean up dishes from meal prep hip exercises pack for city trip tomorrow, take neighbor for eye surgery

gaylem Yes, I'm talking about the power source for traveling, and I don't need two. I misplaced one when I returned from a trip, then ended up buying another for the next trip. I finally found the first months later. They now have a dedicated place. That green thing was a stubborn monster if strapping tape was needed! Hi, seahorse . Your legs are getting stronger every week! Remembered just in time that I'd agreed to lend my car to my daughter for an appointment. Tossed into the car the glass cleaner and paper towels for her to clean the inside of the windshield (it's a problem with sun glare and nighttime driving). Picked her up. Clean toilet and bathtub. Go for a walk.

seahorse I did enjoy my walk! Most of the times in my life when I've exercised I've done it as a matter of duty for my health, but it is starting to be for pleasure now. It will be great if I no longer have to persuade myself to do this because I should do it. Went for a walk. Started dishes soaking. Resumed reading tomorrow's book club book. Struggling. Will take breaks for housework. Clean toilet and bathtub. Reverse the loaner car rigmarole. PUPA 10 minutes. Read some more.

mouseanne Sous vide resulted in a more juicy chop. I prefer sous vide for chicken breast, butterfly pork loin chops, frozen shrimp, only a maybe for chicken thighs. Still testing different meats/methods. It helps me get results I prefer from inexpensive WalMart cuts. The neighbor eye travel is time consuming. I may not post or get much done for the next couple of days. clean up dishes from meal prep hip exercises pack/prepare for city trip tomorrow, take neighbor for eye surgery reorganize/toss,clean floor,identify more mystery objects in dining room staging area feed outside kitty in garage before I turn in take neighbor to city for eye surgery, will be a long day, follow up the next day Routine Tasks a maybe

Thanks, mouseanne. I'm a word nut with a flighty brain, so things just pop out. gaylem Safe travels! Read more. Got my car back. Started a list of characters from the book. They're always hard for me to remember, but with Korean names, I think this will save me a lot of flipping back to understand. Clean toilet and bathtub. PUPA 10 minutes. Read some more.
