Good morning, guys and dolls! erniethecat I hope your upbeat attitude is contagious! seahorse moving slowly is better than not moving at all. Yesterday I accidentally tracked in maple bud caps into the house. Their crimson juices ended up everywhere before I knew it. Too dark last night to find all the spots. 1. Washed rug 2. Washed dishes 3. Scrubbed spots from floor 1. Prep another rug for washing 2. Put away shoes 3. Eat breakfast

Greetings to morning people erniethecat and seahorse! Glad to see you back, oxen. missjean, thanks to you, I just read a really interesting article on IDing trees in winter by knowing what their buds look like. Sorry you tracked them indoors! Took courage in hand and weighed myself; better than expected. Made bed, had water and meds in the sunshine. Started picking up the floor. Do arm and back exercises. Call gym to ask a couple of questions. Email/text a few friends I've neglected.

goldenthreads Naturally Curious is my go-to site for getting lost in botany and zoology. tinyurl.com/23wxzw6hI weighed myself this morning, too. Argh, but not surprised. I cleaned the pantry in anticipation of going back on Whole30.

Good morning, everyone. Nice reading all the morning activity here.
Before I came here, I decided to do a few tasks so I'd have something to report. Ended up doing lots of little things.
-folded towels and put away -carried 2 books to donate area -opened windows and blinds, turned off overnight lights -selected which towels to cut into rags next (must wait till cats are sleeping) -carried dishes to sink -carried irrigation tubing to bedroom 3, where there is now space to actually put things away. This decluttering thing seems to have a snowball effect. The more stuff you get rid of, the more functional living spaces become. Who knew??? If the 'stuff' was cool or valuable, or had potential, the day to day realiity of having too much 'stuff' did not dawn on me.
I was going to work in bedroom 1 today, but maybe bedroom 3 might be better in terms of making more easy spaces to put things away
Todo: -put away 3 dry, light, fleecy jackets -sort through more donate books -make easy place to put away misc tools on cleared bookshelf - so I can find something when I need it!!

TaDa a few days ago, I cashed in credit card rewards, having them send me Best Buy gift cards. My last accumulation...hmm, I think it was a new phone. This go-round will be a laptop. Yes, rejoining the connected. I am, sort of, with the tablet, but it is slow going posting, and as I am a 6 ft tall woman, and wear men's large gloves, you see my challenge with typing on a tablet keyboard. lots of wrong letters due to fingertip size vs key size.
Why I don't post more attagirls/boys here.
Anyway, a financial tada.
Carried last night supper dishes out of living room Dried & hung red blouses I made a list for tonight.
It was just what I want done basics, but I'm afeared it will be too much. Oh, well, a bit is better than nada.
See ya after work.
