Welcome to May! 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! |

Busy day: got up, walked and fed dogs
Then, picked up younger dd and took her to orthopedic appointment. GREAT news! X-rays very good, healing on schedule, physical therapy can progress to partial weight bearing.
Went out to lunch, back to dd's house, loaded her dishwasher, emptied her trash and recycles. Back home to chill out a while.
To do
Load my dishwasher
Tidy kitchen counters
Water plants

Thank you, Ally! Ditto what oust said. Hello, people!  Showered and got dressed. Planned food for book club. Got, prepared, and packed food for book club. Came back from the meeting and put food away. Did stretches. Put away dishes. Take a nap, I think. Pull dandelions, maybe. Put away clothes from dryer, definitely. |

I exercised 2 days in a row! I’ve been dealing with laundry and dishes. Made a healthy meal yesterday.
Walked the dog
Made coffee.
Made oatmeal.
I am touching papers. Sorting them. Even opening some envelopes. Tolerating feelings. Panic. Disgust. Overwhelm.
