Thunderstorm coming. I pray for rain ONLY. But they are saying possible large hail. 😮 Yikes!
All pots are now either close to the building or inside in the lobby. Which makes me sad because they would love some rainwater - but I dont want them battered by hail.
I'm not going to run around with the car again moving mom's plants at the ALF or her house. They're on their own this time.
Had a big salad and a toasted cranberry oat bagel for lunch.
Visited my mom early this afternoon. Her ribs still hurt from falling a few days ago. The wheelchair and the alarms on the seat and the bed were supposed to prevent all falls... but she still manages to do it! 😣
I went to only 1 garage sale today! 👍 Got some cute garden ornaments for my elderly neighbor lady who has a big flower garden on the ground floor. Outside, I mean. 😄
Walmart for 2 jugs of sweet tea and vitamins.
Scrubbed all the bugs and bug blood off the front of my car with just a rag and water.
Vacuumed houseplant soil off carpet in diningroom. I tipped it over several days ago. Let it lay so the damp soil could dry good before vacuuming. It worked! ☺
Time to hunt up some supper....

Oh Diane those outlet extenders are really not all that safe. You might be plugging in 6 things and overloading the circuit! 🔥 Yikes!! 😭

Yay for short meetings, bree ! I have been very confused about days a lot lately. I get ahead of myself. If I don't review my calendar the night before I'm usually in trouble.
peaceseeker that is great news and I am crossing my fingers that you keep feeling better!
hope your mom's houseplants survive sue5000. bummer about her falling. owie!
I got stuck so I posted on WIT. Got DXH's things packed up, except for his t-shirts. I've been laundering my clothes. I don't have the bandwidth to decide what I'm gonna wear.
had leftovers and caught up in the kitchen. cleaning up is starting to become a soothing activity, who knew.
Practiced my guitar. Its a challenging song vocally, and I realized I needed to stand, so I found a big screw to hold up the guitar strap. That will help, but I am honestly not ready for prime time. Maybe somepony else will play and I can sing.
JL texted and said she is trying to get tomorrow off, yay.

Rainy Friday so no excuse to avoid the house of doom. 🌧️🌧️🌧️🏚️🌧️🌧️🌧️ Only a phone appointment in a minute , after that want to make a dreary day feel bit more positive with a list of minor achievements.. .. getting dressed (well I did say it was going to be minor achievements) .. arranged final details for a meet up with old work mates... Doctor's phone call done, (I wish they had time to read your notes before a consult.😔) .. breakfast made, (sulking about getting older while gnoshing on beans n carrots) ..one kettle of washing up ..booked next week's work shifts ..put one lot of washing in the dryer ..put away the washed uniforms (distracted a bit and ended up debobbling them of fuzz first) ..escaped for a while to swim 😊 ..next lot of washing on the dryer ..cooked a savory crumb ..a 2nd kettle of washing up ..a bit of www research for my next try at wild swimming .. dinner & vitamins ..now whoozy and almost time for bed, sorting out the tupperware while propped up in bed (no room to do it in the kitchen ..) ----- I know the house doesn't look too different, but writing down today's activity reminds me that at least SOMETHING was achieved,, and given a realistic idea at the pace of work to expect..,, rather than beating myself up for not being ruddy superwoman ..
Goodnight

a list of minor achievements..
My experience has been it took many consistent months of what others might call minor achievements to have the mental and physical space to even consider tackling what some others might call major achievements. Because of this, I say we celebrate like it's 1999!

(( mylittlescholar )) love your consistent lists, Lennon! Sue, I don't have the bandwidth yet to make my yard and plants a priority so I admire yours and Diane's interest and care. My yard grows with benign neglect under the law of survival of the fittest. I am just blessed I live in such a mild winter climate that most survive! I stayed up too late playing and woke with DH after 6.5 hours sleep, so if I start to get tired I want to remember it is actual fatigue, not me reverting back to the fatigue I have had this past year. to do coffee, smoothie, meds x2 moving my growing to do after minimums are complete to-do list so I can find it store shoe organizercall my cc about login/paypay DH's cc's/ticketcurrent paperworkput up broom holdercancel subscriptionschoose health plan and benefits for annual re-uppost BIT/do links when I get it in PM pu meds sat - walgreens and publix

I just looked at a YouTube for replacing headlamps/bulbs in my model year--a huge PITA, I don't even have all the tools. So will be taking it in next week. Now I must eject myself from this chair!!!

late yesterday afternoon I decided I needed some exercise so I mowed the back yard. I did not have it in me to mow the front yard so my DS did that for me. I have a bag of clothes in my car to try to drop off today (I need to call and make an appointment) one bag at a time means I am slowly chipping away at it. I emptied out my car so that I can take my aunt and her walker to the bank this afternoon. It isn't perfect but it is better. And I wasn't embarrassed to park in a primo parking spot today when I came into work. Now all the stuff I had in the car just got thrown on the floor in the dining room - that small cleared out space that I was trying to defend. But I will just have to deal with it.
I washed the bedding - it was disgusting and smelled like dog.....(I love my dog but not that much!!) I tripped the breaker (didn't realize it). DH came home over lunch and fixed it - then took the afternoon off to get some much needed relaxing time before job #2. his bath towel was pretty bad (see what happens when I am not living at home?) so I washed that puppy twice.
I found all of my backyard games - except ladder golf. My mom is having a family picnic saturday so I will be bringing those. And beans. and cupcakes.
OK - I am at work to get some work done so off I go.

Good morning, ohblondie. The family picnic sounds like it will be wonderful for all. Bravo on primo parking space and room for aunt. I too get discouraged when I shuffle things sometimes but we do what we need to do, right?
next laundry aromatherapy

Good morning everyone!
We had a brief, hard rain from around 4am to 4:30, not a lot, but enough thunder for the dog to wake me up shaking. Luckily the thunder didn't last too long, and I'm glad the plants got some water.
I have the morning free, the handyman and the AC crew will be here some time in the afternoon. The rain cooled things off but it will start getting very warm soon so I'll have to close things up.
Sue, don't worry, I do not run 6 things at once from the same outlet, I never run more than 2 things at once from the same outlet. But having multiple things plugged in saves me from having to constantly plug things in and out, especially annoying things like the microwave, where I have to reset the clock each time. Or, when it's behind furniture and I have to move things in order to plug and unplug what I want to use. I am VERY afraid of electricity so I'm always extra careful when it comes to outlets and appliances.
I'm trying to avoid my usual tendency to not do anything if I have to have someone over in the afternoon, I have the whole morning and I should be able to get a few things done. I will finish my breakfast and then try to do a few lists.
Diane
