WELCOME TO WITing! HAPPY NOVEMBER! 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!

Hi Joy, Thanks for starting us out this month.
ta-da's: Got up, and and dressed this morning and went in for my appointment for the Pfizer vaccine trial. After eating a quick lunch, I cut up some squash in huge chunks and put them in the oven.
to-do: We are expecting frost within the next few nights, so I need to work on bringing in my house plants. This will likely take a few hours, because I need to prepare places to put the plants, clean up the pots, etc... Check the mail

Thanks for starting the thread, joyinvirginia! Good morning, Ally and yrwelcome. I will be devoting this morning and the first part of the afternoon to all things book club. Went to a new-to-me bakery to get bread for book club; I realized I preferred food that would certainly be good rather than any rusty effort of mine. Did some more reading of the book. Had meds, made bed. Did stretches. Posted longer-term lists on a couple of threads to clear my mind a bit and have written goals. Shower and get dressed. Mix the trail mix. (Wilderness is central to the book.) Shop for book club food/ingredients. Remove extraneous items from car. Do a cursory cleaning of the car. Put in car: food, serving things, eating things, book. Move car seat back for my passenger. Pick up fellow member. AfternoonPay the late quarterly bill. Put that bill on automatic payments. Pay the CC bill.

I did enjoy it, yrwelcome. And the bread was such a huge hit that several people asked for the name of the bakery. Washed dishes. Set aside three items to return to grocery store, bought on three different dates, because one didn't taste good, and the other two were bought for today but were more than we needed. (Need to locate and put the other two receipts with these items.) Got dressed for bed early because I'm fighting off sleep and want to go to bed when it's time. tomorrow (hoping for a new or refreshed brain ) Pay the late quarterly bill. Put that bill on automatic payments. Pay the CC bill. Straighten up mess in kitchen.
