Thanks, goldenthreads! Coffee helped. I dissolved into tears for a few minutes b/c I couldn’t figure out how to do Cobra for vision and dental. Then I found the piece of paper that told me.
Ate yogurt and cereal.
Touched a lot of papers!
Paid some bills.
Selected Cobra coverage.
Renewed license.
Still lots to do, but I have GOT to go see my mom!

Feeling seriously overwhelmed at everything. Hard few weeks. Just need to focus on one small thing at a time.
TA DA
- Ate some food, had coffee
- Did a few language lessons (Scottish Gaelic)
- Minor amount of physical self-care
TO DO
- SO MUCH LAUNDRY. Where to start? Just... start: pop some things that don't need spot cleaning into wash.
- Fold laundry in bag from weeks ago that didn't get folded.
- Hang up clothes on floor.

Hello, quietbird. I hope some of those pressures are easing up. Be gentle with yourself. grasshopper Glad the COBRA paperwork is out of the way.  Canceled a subscription. Spent 15 minutes pulling dandelions, and another 3 or so picking up twigs and the like. Disposed of used marinade. Remembered that it'd sat out on the counter too long.  Make tire appointment. Go for a walk or pedal. Process newspapers and magazines. Use Dana K. White method on the coffee table. Tonight: Shower and dress for bed. Tomorrow: Go to pharmacy. |

razyI'm sure you're a bit rusty at getting ready for work at the office. It's smart of you to be getting ready the day before. Good luck with the transition! Made up a bleach solution, and sprayed it on the marinade container and utensils. Washed several dishes. Started a load of wash. Recycled all the newspapers. Morning: Do stretches. Shower and get dressed.
Go to pharmacy.Afternoon/early evening: Go for a walk. Call Mom.Make tire appointment.Process magazines. Use Dana K. White method on the coffee table. Plant saved seeds. Help dig some compost into the garden.

Hi, goldenthreads joyinvirginia yrwelcome  Hmm. Ive discovered why I'm so far behind. Did dishes, cleaned bath, I'm worn out. Did the 3 todo Bath about 45 min. But, it was overdo, and I did everything, dusting etc all the way to mop. The sprayer fell off yhe bottle twice, once into toilet. Arg. First time thought it was just loose. 2nd time took a look. The bottle lip was broken. Paused the timer, basement shopped, found a new bottle just like it in the gardening pile. So, thats done. Comes to me i m8ght have dropped it a while back. Now, im short on bottles. Tried to use the upstairs ironing board spray bottle, sloshed water. Wha?. Umm, melted spot. Guess it got to close to iron. No goo on the iron, tho. I was using the downstairs iron this week, in liv rm, tv, and ironed over the cord. Sheesh. Ive bought iron cleaner. Lets see Dusted washer, dryer Washed some embroidered linens, then pillowcases. Gathered trash laundry room, bath, bedroom, library Theres more, but not getting up ATM. ToDo? Finish bath: Replace TP box, TP holder, trash can Dump mop Wash mop & bucket Clean sink counter Spread a cloth Wash dishes & trays, stacking there Am I up for another challenge?  put away all the dining room shop n drops I can beat that task in 15 min   tidy, dust, dust mop bedroom I can ? beat that task in 30 min |

Good afternoon everyone.
Its a cool sunny day here.
I ran errands and found gas back up to $4.35 a gallon. I filled up for $50
Went into Costco for the free samples for lunch as i spent so much on gas. Then dropped another $100 on vitamins and things. Life is getting expensive.
Ta Da

Got 2 gallons of water
To do
set the timer, then try try and try again to make magic happen in here
put new meds on the old pots so i dont have 2 sets of everything. Like we have enough stuff
Hang rags to dry for the week.
i really want to be outside but was interrupted when i was out and once i get home its just to much trouble to head out again.
Feel better soon goldernthreads. I hope its nothing serious.
