Hello WITty peeps. I'm just jumping back in to WITing, in medias res. I haven't gone back to read posts yet, but hope everyone is having a great day.
One thing I've been thinking about today is that I need to break down tasks into smaller pieces. "Doing the dishes" involves several steps as does "re-pot the herbs." Then my brain can get overwhelmed. So, trying to be mindful of that and break it down in smaller step when I can.
Ta-da: Made bed. Brought Ikea bag of dirty laundry downstairs. Shook out bath mat and grabbed a few more things for laundromat.
Moved pots from mudroom to porch. Refilled watering can and mister bottle and took out to porch. Watered and misted hanging impatien.
Put clean organizers back in utensil drawer. Washed dishes 2X. Put away clean dishes 2X.
Made iced coffee. Took chicken drumsticks out of freezer to thaw. Put Walmart boxes in "boxes to be broken down" area on porch.
Put donation box from kitchen floor on bench in mudroom. Emptied bedroom wastebasket; new bag. Put full trash bags in mudroom; put out new kitchen trash bag.
To-do: Put laundry detergent bottle in laundry bag. Find new bag of potting soil (Really, where is it?) Take trash bag out to porch.
Put on gloves. Figure out which herbs to plant in which pot. Trim other plants.
Sweep porch floor and ledges. Sweep front steps. Trim and re-position plants on front steps; water if needed.
Put the old ant baits in trash. Fold clean things from laundry rack. Put clean things in bag; place at bottom of steps.

Good to hear from you again, sweetsunshower. I agree with the above. It's why I regularly say that I am soaking the dishes. Once they're in, I will commit to doing them. And if you look at the opening statement for each month's WIT, you see that the intent is just to do three tiny things, and build encouragement and momentum from there. So I'd say any level of threedom is great and useful. gaylem Good work analyzing and figuring out radio placement and such. Glad you have happy hiking memories. Transferred wash load to dryer. Washed dishes. Pulled clothes from dryer and put them away. Do several (~4?) PUPA to get the place down to the underlayers. Shower and get dressed.
Get going on and finish the weekly cleaning.
