Good morning, guys and dolls! Good morning to you, mouseanne It's the first day of Labor Day weekend here, which means I'll be laboring today. Normally I'd be in the garden, but I'm already a bit congested. I checked out an audiobook from our public library: "The Hoarder in You" by Dr. Robin Zasio. I listened a bit yesterday, but still have almost seven hours left. It'll be the soundtrack of my cleaning today. TA-DAH 1. Lots of things into the garbage, from onion peels to shredded documents 2. Post office run - not much there 3. Cleaned out car a bit 4. Washed coffee pot 5. Dry clothes folded and put away 6. Located tile-holder (literally a wooden block an artist cut for displaying a decorative tile I no longer own. Going to use it as a phone/tablet holder in the diningroom.) TO DO 1. Laundry 2. Put away dishes 3. Start circular cleaning in microwave corner

You're chugging along, mouseanne! TA-DAH 1. Laundry sorted 2. Put away dishes 3. Cleaned microwave corner 4. Washed dishes that were in sink/on counter 5. Put away base of blender 6. Cleaned stove top, including grills 7. Pulled out and cleaned vegetable drawer in fridge 8. Wiped fridge shelves 9. Put icecube trays in dishwasher - one of them smells "freezer burnt" even after a washing in the sink 10. Threw out empty jar that I was going to wash and keep "just in case" - thanks, mouseanne for nudging me with your example of the non-moldy deli container 11. Threw out a fridge freshener that's supposed to keep vegetables fresh longer - it's not for the model of fridge I have, and I stopped myself from trying to "make it work." 12. Tossed current magazine and half-read weekly into recycling. I won't finish reading them before the next edition arrives. BONUS: Put away vase 1. Cleaned off end-table 2. Discovered where that big spider went - ugh! Threw out the papers that were in the way when I smashed it. 3. Cleaned right half of sofa 4. Cleaned & refilled birdbath 5. Cleaned left half of sofa 6. Shredded some documents 7. Threw out un-donatable books marked up by previous owner (WHY was I keeping them?!?) 8. Washed & put away electric kettle 9. Cleaned pots (and am boiling onions for later) 10. Dusted windowsills 11. Dusted shelves and items on them (right side of window) 12. Threw out bent steamer-attachment for pot I no longer own TO DO 1. More livingroom! 2. Sort a pile of papers that I found 3. Dry and put away dishes

Good morning/afternoon, mouseanne and missjean. I'm going to pretend the weather controls my mood and performance. There are good omens: sunny but not too hot today, and another very nice rain yesterday. Started dishes soaking. Had meds, and made bed. Filled pill minder. Clear an area on the table for working; do in spurts because it's daunting.
Work on Project RT. Look up info #2. Look up info #3. Put away dry clothes from dryer. Wash dishes. Get dressed.

So this is where all the action is!!! I'm debating whether to sit and veg for the rest of the afternoon, or to actually clean up. I think I'll be happier if I clean up, so .... I'll start in 10 minutes!
1. Find all the laundry and put it in the machine 2. Find all the dishes, stack & start the dishwasher 3. PUPA closet

Hi all,
done -pupa earlier this morning, mainly in kitchen -laundry -watered in back
todo -repair 2 hoses -work in side yard -food prep
This morning I had so many 'I'll do it Saturday' tasks on my mental list, I was feeling overwhelmed. So I talked to my perfectionistic self, and scaled things down. Aaahh, much better. Progress, not perfection.
