Hi, All! I haven't logged in since early January. I'm going to start out with a GREAT BIG ta-da! Nearly 42 years ago I graduated from a 12 month school of Respiratory Therapy. At that time I decided I would continue my education and persue a degree. Life kept getting in the way. Now I am 62 years old, and this morning, I just completed my last final exam. No more projects or papers due. It's such a relief.
other ta-da's: Went for a walk, Got the mail Started making yogurt Watered the houseplants Messaged local thrift shop, and learned that they will take my old books!
to-do: Clean up some of the mess in this house. I've really accumulated a ton of trash!

done -cleared main kitchen counter -found old hour glass and cleaned it. It takes about 45 minutes for the sand to run through. Might be a fun way to measure breaks. -re-organized counter in front of microwave to make it more efficient todo -wheel trash and recy bins to street -scrub main kitchen counter -declutter bag and box of 'stuff' from the car After a slow, moderately resistant start, it's turned into a very productive day.

Hi, Ally. I was hoping you'd be back one day. Congratulations on all the hard work that got you your degree. Do you still have chickens? Ran errands: daughter to shot #2, her pharmacy, my pharmacy, grocery store. Put away groceries. Her water was off, so she stayed here and used my place, and then I took her home. I think I'm finished for the day. Just ridiculously tired. I'll be back tomorrow. Good work, people.

Ally congratulations on finishing your degree! What did you study?
I'm going through a rough patch these days more often than not. Been waking up riddled with anxiety. I'm trying to pull myself up with my routines. Old Flylady ones with inspiration from Diane in Denmark on youtube. Plus a little help from the Tidy Tutor. Lots of positivity and encouragement. Gives me a shot in the arm. Just this corona stuff is making me crazy. I've been doing home office since March 2020 and there's no end in sight. I should be eligible for the vaccine "from May", which could mean November at the rate they're going. I just have to remember that I'm not the only one struggling with these feelings.
So far today: -made bed -dressed to shoes -washed face/applied make-up -cleaned bathroom vanity/sink/mirror -started a dark load -finished loading D/W and started -tidied couch -checked on my tomato plants
-shined sink and wiped off all kitchen surfaces -meds/coffee
Now getting ready to start my "real" job--will go in to office tomorrow to meet co-workers for the first time in about a month.
To do: -prepare red lentil balls for dinner
-wash sliding doors in LR -put away yesterday's laundry -hang up darks
