WELCOME TO WITing! HAPPY DECEMBER! 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!

I'm up late, finishing computer notes for month of November for work. Why I do this every month, it's because I don't wanna work any more and I would rather do fun things! Which is why LISTZILLA is so important to me, in helping to get non-fun things DONE! Edited to add: notes are DONE!!! I'm going to sleep for a few hours, get up and do it again! To do Check on, for class, Any papers turned in that need grading Wednesday work Wednesday nights watch survivor and do some cleaning while I watch

Thanks very much for staying up late and starting this thread, joyinvirginia. Glad you finished your monthly computer wrap-up. Weighed myself and took BP. Put away dishes. Did stretches. Get dressed. Wash dishes. Go for a walk. Make bed and have meds. Clean out purse. Bake something for reception, or buy at bakery. And decide which one! Stop dithering. Pack up goodies for the reception. Help with some editing of draft.

Made bed and had meds. Got dressed. Made my decision. I am going to buy at the nearby bakery, and also make some cookies. I am not going to the farther away bakery that would cost more. Wash dishes. Go for a walk. Clean out purse. Bake something for reception and buy at bakery. Pack up goodies for the reception. Help with some editing of draft.

Thanks, yrwelcome! It's going well, and I'm almost finished. Now if I can just transport these safely to the car and the meeting, I'll be all set. Washed dishes. Baked cookies and put them in a container. Sliced the bread and laid it out on a large plate. Clean out purse. Pack up goodies for the reception. Help with some editing of draft.

More people brought goodies than I'd thought were going to, so most of my delicious cookies came home with me. I didn't like the bread I bought very much, so I gave the remainder to my landlord, along with some of the cookies. For anyone who's interested, I had a tasty thing tonight that I might try to replicate. It's just a date stuffed with goat cheese, and then wrapped in cooked (but still flexible) bacon. As far as I know, that's all there is to it. Put out recycling and green bins, thanks to yrwelcome doing hers! Put away dishes. Got ready for bed. tomorrow Clean out purse. Help with some editing of draft.

goldenthreads Devils on horse back - yum! It was kind of you to share your goodies with your landlord Kitchen tidied Yoghurt made Packing started- I hate packing so much, I get so anxious- what should I take? What if it's hot or cold? And all my clothes are ugly! And what if the restaurant is fancy! Etc. 2 x sm bowls of corn chips - apparently I'm an emotional eater Go take some things out of my bag -we are only away for 3 days not 3 weeks! Make a plan for tomorrow- I'm going out straight after work Find some sunscreen

goldenthreads Devils on horse back - yum! It was kind of you to share your goodies with your landlord Go take some things out of my bag -we are only away for 3 days not 3 weeks! I had to look up "devils on horseback". I thought maybe it belonged in the varieties of English expression thread. Well, now I know that that's what that yummy thing was called. Thank you. Good idea taking a few things out of your bag. You seem to get a lot of vacation time. I always feel envious, and then I remember that I don't work and could decide to do the same.
