I realized that a lot of this stuff to pack would fit nicely into some drawers already dedicated to office stuff. But by then my back said NOPE! so I have been resting the last hour.
NEXT UP: put office stuff in drawers boot laundry find lids for bins

An unpleasant realization. How long since the dishwasher top was clean? I use cream in my am coffee. Purchased in pints. I did once slosh some cream in a dish i was cooking, but mainly in my coffee. Co-worker is saving little plastic lids for a project, something to do with her fish pond, and a filter. So, I'm tossing the carton, but keeping the lids. There's 3 lids sitting on the dw.
Sheesh. I have got to get a handle on my procrastination.

mylittlescholar It's looking like the home stretch!  missjean I admire your early morning industry. Are you one of those people who wakes up wide awake? mouseanne Your dishwasher top sounds like a quick fix. I say that you should clean it up extra well, put the lids in your work bag, shine up one other tiny space, and then stand back and smile big at your fine, fine work.  There--you've made progress!
Just realized that I have my own space taunting me. The lovely yard of yellow dandelions has turned into a forest of menacing, mature, fluffy white globeheads. It's gonna be hard to feel satisfied about this because I am so far behind. Shall I sing while I work, or make plans, or...? Yesterday: Had a chat with Barnes & Noble customer service. They billed me correctly for an online purchase, but I never got the confirmation email, I did not write down the confirmation/order #, and according to her, there's no record of the purchase. This morning: Checked email and credit card account--the same. Made bed and had meds.
Dig up dandelions. But first, deadhead a lot of them.
Process magazines.

I have done things without coffee this morning. Without coffee. This morning. 🌻☀️🌻 Worked on the dandelions 25 minutes: Deadheaded a lot of them, then dug some up. Better. There is hope. Started the dishes soaking. Filled pill minder.
Process magazines. Ask landlord when he wants to do garden digging so I can join him. Get dressed. Do stretches. Wash dishes. PUPA 5 minutes. |

mouseanne I have a section of counter near the door that is like that. I found lots of "I should recycle this" here. goldenthreads Not at all! I am a no-alarm-clock-on-weekends person because I want sleep. But I'm on a deadline with so many things. I smiled at your dandelion spot; I'm going to harvest dandelions in a little while and make a salad. TA-DAH 1. Put away dry dishes 2. Put bedding in dryer 3. Cleared ONE SPOT of dining table 4. Laundry #2 - and hung to dry 5. Dropped package at the post office 6. Took bag of lawn waste to community yard; dropped off 7. Put finishing touches on "writing cart" (where work-related stuff can be stored) 8. Unpacked newish headphones and plugged in to charge (This has been a problem for me in the last two months: I buy what I need but then let it sit without assembling/setting up.) 9. Threw out a few things TO DO 1. Pull out a bag and do a walk-through filling it 2. Open up the shed and hope there are no wasps there so I can grab taproot "popper" 3. Clear the counter I use every day
