seahorse I am having to cut out a lot of foods right now, and one of them is wheat. I've never made bread that contains no wheat before. This will be an oat bread. Hoping for acceptable results; good would be a bonus. Went to appointment. Put away dishes. PUPA 5 minutes. Do 1/2 hour on the statements. 2 so far Run Roomba in living room. Make bread. Make medical appointment. Tonight: Do some weeding.

Hi, yrwelcome. seahorse, you're moving right along! Friday Report washed all 4 iron pans, and the 1 lid washed the baking stone cleared green cupboard cleared, washed DW top filled coffee cannister wash 2 trays, cookie sheet, 2 coffee cans, & the few dishes cleaned sink reduced pile on fridge counter backlog sink trash bag (this was part of the stuff moving from laundry path to kitchen floor & back & forth ad nauseum) Stovetop is clear emptied the 2 basement boxes brought up One was 2 sewing bins, put them on stairs to go up (this stuff has been missing in action (or inaction, in a basement box since my 2013 move. I was happy happy to find them) the other box was fabric, all is washed, dried & folded One of my task lists is to make some underpants. Part of this fabric was ta-da! underpant cotton. Woo Hoo! I can do this with no financial outlay. Well, huh, I did purchase some elastic on credit several days ago. At least I have everything to move forward. washed a bucket & lid that had been sitting around, and the pitcher in it, these are draining on a rag on the laundry floor. I think I'll use the bucket for the ice melt. It came in a bag, not so handy. So, I'm going into my 3-day weekend with all the laundry done (well, not the backlog) AND all the dishes done. The kitchen isn't quite done: Kitchen ToDo Clean stove top season the iron pans Clear the fridge top, lots of random hanging out there wash the sink counter clear & clean the fridge counter Purge fridge process veggies into sealed freezer packets Do some cooking ahead so I have grab ready food for the to-do weekend. Sweep Kitchen Mop Kitchen

Hi all!
Dog walk included a steep hill, so counts as exercise too. Stopped at grocery store for a few things. Feeling my feelings. Drinking coffee.
Next: Gratitude practice

razy The leaves of the old notebook I am tearing out & using are 4-1/2" x 6-1/4" Going into (USA) 3 day weekend, I have a listzilla of 34 pages, with 10 tabbed topics. Some pages only have a few things written on them. topics are To-Do Cook Construction Random Rooms Sew Basement Sat Tues Business Front Page is Titled Master Plan WeekendKitchen zero Living Room zero Library ..Clear Desk ..Drill/hang standards ..hang shelves on standards ..hang tin shelf ..put away scrapbooking Bedroom zero ..detail clean ..hang art ..wire lamps Porch ..zero in front ..planters Underpants Ten Garments (that's the mending challenge I posted) Two Pair Pants Sewing Closet Done Sewing Room more wallpaper stripped Sewing Room zero Utilize Cupboard of Doom (a la Harry Potter) Dining Windows zero Mani Pedi I have 3 days Sat Sun Mon and Tues Morning Wed Morning as I am taking two half days vacation Is this even possible? Most likely not. But, it is a starting point. And if what is up next flummoxes or stresses me, or even if its just the IDONWANNAs, I can switch to another piece of the plan. Even if I only get one or two of the "Zeroes" done, or I make some underpants, or a pair of pants, I've made progress. My very own "pretty room" jigsaw. (That's referencing a thread I started in Squalor Discussion.)

Decided to use the placebo effect on myself and drink some decaf to see if it'd perk me up. It helped a little. Bread notes: The dough looked wet and smelled odd. I added some more oat flour. Crossed fingers. The good news is that because I used the short gluten-free cycle, it was finished before I got ready for bed, even though I started late. I decided, for the first time, to remove the dough so I could take out the paddle. I dusted my fingers, pulled out the part that came willingly, and decided that while the stuff would make great toddler play goop, it wasn't anything I wanted to deal with. So I put it back in and will tolerate the paddle hole in the finished product. It did take a while to clean my fingers. Make medical appointment. Still too early. Put another try next week on calendar. Got the bread going in the machine. Evaluating bread. Seems pretty good! tomorrow
Sweep and run Roomba in the entryway. Do 1/2 hour on the statements. 2 so far Run Roomba in living room. Do some weeding.
