WELCOME TO WITing! HAPPY SEPTEMBER! It's going to be a GREAT one! The guidelines for WIT are simple: - Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. βοΈ - 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 π’ - Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen - Put away book π - 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! ..............................................................

Good evening, guys and dolls! It's been a long day.
TA-DAH 1. Picked up branches 2. Raked the smaller pieces from the front lawn onto cement 3. Used broom and dustpan to sweep up the bitties 4. Cleaned debris from driveway 5. Cleaned debris from front garden 6. Put away garden tools 7. Burned the yard waste, including some invasive plants that shouldn't be put in regular yardwaste 8. Cleaned birdbath 9. Filled the hole that's been forming between the maple roots in the back yard (I don't think it's an animal hole; more like a hole from rotting oak roots that were intertwined)

Oooh hey, I'm early into a WIT monthly thread! π I am posting about an hour before September actually starts over here because as a night owl, I do much of my cleaning overnight. So I am just gearing up, not winding down. π π¦
πTA-DA!πππππ *I moved the giant, heavy bins out of the way. Shockingly I found a pretty good/ better place for them.
*I got kinda "OCD" about wiping down the bins and this wasted some time. I really ought to talk to a doctor about some of the traits I see in myself... But anyhoo, I cleaned those bins fabulously (maybe too well?) and for now I can leave them be.
*I continued tackling the side of bed area and stuff near the window. What a big job, ugh. I was not fully prepared for this...
*I attended to the dog.
βTO-DO!βββββ *Empty out the vacuum canister.
*Put the box fans back together (this might be a bit fun??)...
*Consider cleaning floor near side of bed or similar task as I tackle that area.
*Begin process to declutter countertops/ stove area. Try to at least start tonight.
*Vacuum more fully, scrub floors! (Daytime task)

I'm pretty tuckered out so am heading to bed soon! π€ However, I did some things. π
π₯TA-DA!!β€οΈβπ₯β€οΈβπ₯β€οΈβπ₯β€οΈβπ₯β€οΈβπ₯ *I emptied out the vacuum canister.
*I brought the trash to the trash room and donated a tower fan, as well! Thankfully with my new AC unit I do not need that large, awkward, top-heavy fan anymore.
*I put the box fans back together, and yes it was kinda fun.
*I did some miscellaneous organizing, dusting, etc. of stuff near the side of the bed. The floor really does just need to be vacuumed.
πUpcoming TO-DO's!!πΉπΉπΉπΉπΉ *Shower in the morning.
*Finish the side of the bed decluttering as much as possible.
*Vacuum more fully, scrub floors.
*Scoot bed a few inches over to its final location.
*Begin process to declutter countertops/ stove area.
π§‘ππππ₯οΈ WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER, FRIENDS. π₯οΈππππ§‘

Good morning y'all!! Welcome to whack-it Wednesday :-). I tried to come up with a slogan for September, but my brain is only suggesting "slog through it September" which really isn't the kind of motivation we need!!

Morning all, The start of a new month is exciting. Don't know why. Perhaps it gives us a new chance, or something. Not quite the magnitude of a new year, but a new start. Always good to have 'new starts' coming along. Not too much done yet, but thus far: -up and made cocoa -got pork roast out of fridge, prepped and browned it -put meat in to slow roaster for several hours, but not in the kitchen - too warm for that, but it had to be done today. todo: -continue outside work on side of house -trim more bushes and/or weeds -litter boxes
