Good morning! I'm waiting for the library to open.
We will be back over 80 degrees today, but tomorrow is cool again so it shouldn't be too bad. I'm intimidated by my long to-do list, but I will tackle it one step at a time, as always.

Hi Everyone! I am doing laundry tonight. I will read back tomorrow as i am suffering from overwhelm in my life right now. I think less overwhelm as in things are getting better but my capacity is not very large right now. I seem to have only two or three life spoons at the moment, View AttachmentLove that image! I hear you on having minisculenumber of spoons. I'm the same right now. We'll have to prioritize, take small steps forward, and schedule in lot or recovery time. Good luck!

Happy Friday Well my dear Aunt is doing well. She is settled into rehab and is working hard every day. She has such a positive attitude and a great outlook on life. The more time I spend with her the better I become. I have been over to her apt to get clothes (which the facility lost - they gave her someone else's clothes), I am tracking down paperwork she needs, I have paid her bills. (so nice to be able to write a check and not worry about waiting for payday) So weird to be writing a check and not pay them online...... I brought her some treats (peanut butter M&M's). Staff have been so good to her - but she is so good to them! I have a small bag dedicated to her bills and papers. That bag is cleaned out and sorted.
I washed bedding yesterday and socks and underwear today. I have to wash a load of darks next as DH needs his football shirt for tomorrow. I must face up to cleaning out the car as I need to make sure wheelchairs and walkers fit in my car so that we can get rid of my parents car.
I have been washing and packing up my summer clothes in bins - and pulling out the fall clothing. it has been so humid - but today is a bit cooler.
ok - time to do lunch!!

Hello Diane and everybody!
It's evening here already, but I still would like to pay bills, give my fridge shelves a quick wipe, and maybe dust and put away electric fans. Summer is definitely over. And as a self care task, I'd like to do a simple manicure.
Earlier today I washed 3 loads of laundry, folded and put away two loads from yesterday (air drying), washed dishes, wiped counters and stove top, tidied everywhere, swept the floors, made my bed, changed towels.....

Good morning ohblondie! I'm glad that your aunt is getting along well at rehab.
The ripped up grass that was in the sun this morning has dried nicely, I put that in the yard waste bin and raked out the parts in the yard that were in the shady spots so they can dry too. Not much room left in the can and they don't pick up til Wednesday.

You had a productive day, OnTheMend! Cleaning my fans before I put them away is something I always neglect. And then in the spring, when I bring them out I need them right away, so they get a very cursory dusting. Maybe some day I'll be organized and energetic enough to take fans apart and thoroughly clean them in the fall! (Ha ha...)

Over lunch I walked 5 blocks to the post office to mail out the payments for the bills for my aunt. It is a beautiful day. I have to mail a package for her - I will walk that to the UPS type mail store later.

You go ohblondie for getting your steps in and for getting some vitamin D from the sun. I just went outside to check the potted plants out there ...It is great for mood too.

It took me forever to make the list of house repairs, I wrote down dates in my calendar for handyman visits but not always what he did. I actually looked back at some of my posts, since I'm so gabby and post about everything that happens.
The thing that prompted me to do this was that the deed is finally officially in my name in the online records. For some reason it didn't seem real until I actually saw it online, independent of what the attorney gave me. I realized that homeowners should keep records of repairs and maintenance. I kept a file for maintenance receipts at the condo, but there were very few since I neglected things so badly--and because the building was responsible for common repairs. Now I am responsible for everything, and I need to keep track of what happens.
Now I can get the last of the utilities in my name.
I'm eating lunch now.
