...I am going at a snail's pace, but I am going! You are not alone, erniethecat. Today is the most snail-y pace I've been on for the past two weeks. TA DA: morning meds breakfast emptied half of DW I didn't do last evening started filling DW soaking dishes that DW won't wash properly tried on pair of shoes to determine if I am keeping them time sensitive email correspondence wrote a Ph.D. prelim exam question started looking at other facebook marketplace (hereafter fbmp) listings of snow blowers to prepare listing discovered a hoarding conference this weekend for which I may register ( see info and link on my "A Delicate Balance" blog: takeonestepatatime.proboards.com/thread/24984/delicate-balance?page=6&scrollTo=805917 ) TO DO: download pix of snow blower and lawn mowers for fbmp listings determine if I have enough energy to attend a meeting with a United Nations Relief and Works Agency (colleague/friend invited me; I'm really not ready to go back to the f2f world. Zoom has been very good for me, given my chronic disorganization, anxiety, and depression) continue working on author questionnaire from publisher of one of my current co-edited books write to univ. IT dept. to get InDesign on this new (to me) MacBook (IT was supposed to repair the one I had previously which did have InDesign on it)

Good morning/afternoon/evening, erniethecat seahorse BetsyMarie and Glebe Gets Serious. Nice job getting going, everyone. I will do a few easier things this morning until I wind down enough to take a nap. With getting up to drive daughter to airport station and meeting the rental SUV return deadline, I got about four hours of sleep in two sessions. Took daughter to airport station. Had meds. Gassed up the rental SUV and returned it. Pay a bill. Send card. Shower and dress.

Hello, wildpony . Just reached that critical point at which bed is more attractive than browsing. Back in a while. PUPA 5 minutes. Gathered towels and blankets to be washed. Opened a 3" x 12" x 18" box untouched for 20+ years. I assumed it would be another mixed bag of store coupons, investment statements, scribbled notes, child's drawings--the things that remind me yet again of my guilt in hanging onto stuff. Instead, I discovered it was papers my mom had collected over the years of my childhood through about age 15. Contents: birthday cards, certificate that my parents had attended a class for first-time parents, local newspaper photos of me in a group with other kids for having done something, etc. It's material for a nostalgic scrapbook, I suppose. It should be easy to ditch the cards, I think. I'll see about the rest. Pay a bill. Send card. Shower and dress. Purge the above-mentioned box. Decide what to do with any keepers and do it (Stick in baby book?)

Hello All... I would have posted earlier, but my neighbor called to let us know that their son took his own life last week. It's thrown me off a little. I don't know if I could go on if I were them. I have some conflicts in my schedule, regarding the visitation/funeral and it's difficult for me to prioritize. Anyway... onward: ta-da's: Breakfast and Lunch have been consumed Shredded a pile of papers, the shredder is filled. Discussed a few things with my sisters regarding the care of my mother. Dishes and a few other odds and ends. to-do: Empty shredder, feed and water chickens Go for a walk, get the mail Complete another goal from August Challenge list
