WELCOME TO WITing! HAPPY JULY!! It's going to be a GREAT one!
The guidelines for WIT are simple: - Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. ☝️ - Do one more little thing. - Do another little thing. - Once you have 3 things done, post them here! - Post the next 3 things you plan on doing. - Go forth and conquer, return and post again. - You aren't required to do the 3 things you had planned on -- just get any 3 things done and then post proudly.
Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed, or just need to break your tasks down into something manageable, you are in the right place!
If the next 15 minutes consists of: - Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying 😢 - Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen - Put away book 📚 - Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash . . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE-DOM !!!
You could post: Ta-Da's - Took pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Threw away McDonald's wrappers Then your To-Do's: - Bring plates and glasses to kitchen - Put dirty socks in hamper - Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away.
Whether you do those 3 to-do's, or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post.
Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da!
If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.
Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das. YOU DESERVE THEM!

Oops... I was posting in June still... I wasn't as productive today as I would have hoped. but... I'm here. ta-da's Went for a walk between rainstorms. Got my elderly neighbor's mail and put her trash can back to her house. Got my mail, put junk mail in recycling box Loaded the dishwasher and ran it cleaned out the sink. Made some brown rice for myself to eat over the next few day. Sorted through a bunch of papers and paid a bill. Finished knitting a sock... my first sock ever!!!! I'm happy. I tried to knit socks about 10-12 years ago, but was really struggling and finally gave up. The second sock was started a few days ago. to-do: Take a shower, wipe down the shower walls... Get stuff ready for work/lunch tomorrow Check on Chickens Brush my teeth, and spend a few minutes tidying up the sink area while there

Thank you, missjean . I knew July itself had begun, but a new thread never occurred to me. Bought some underwear of the right type and size. Picked up new glasses; both pairs were ready! Went to library to pick up hold. While at the library, sat down and worked on my health journal. Gassed up the car. Gave in to sleepiness and headed for a nap Order gifts. Declutter about 6 things. Tomorrow: Go to grocery store.

goldenthreads I often tell myself, "It will show up eventually". on finding the missing glasses. It was a blessing in disguise, because it ended my delay in getting a new prescription. I'm very happy with the new ones, and I have three-year-old backup glasses. Somebody will be able to use my donated old frame and lenses from 10 (?!) years ago. Took out trash and compostables. PUPA 5 minutes. Started dishes soaking. Order gifts. Declutter about 6 things. Go to grocery store.

Morning Witsers. Happy New Month It's a frosty cold morning here, which is not motivating me to do anything. Started load of washing Breakfast Fold and put away clean washing Maybe light the fire Decide what to do next - these lots of reassembling to be done after the electricians being here. It also gives the opportunity to do some deep cleaning - but I don't know if I want to....
