I am so relieved I figured out a formula that kitty would eat with his antibiotic ground up. I can sympathize, I hate taking pills and used to grind mine. He is ready to snuggle, but I have people coming in the AM and need to do just a little bit more.
DONE: decided which cleaning product to use squirted it on the floor let it soak for a minute went through two cloths for 1/2 the room folded and hung the laundry found my phone
NEXT UP: new gloves relocate the food storage bins
finish making the bed change into of jammies

I was going to toss out a canister that was sitting on my desk, but it was heavier than it should have been. Oh, that's where my little set of tools are kept! I'd forgotten I'd moved them and didn't know they weren't lost. Worked 10 minutes on my desk, and there's room to use it as a desk again. Reviewed new items in patient portal; added OTC med to their list. Getting ready for bed... Set up new watering schedule/table. Update food diary from all my scribbled notes of last week. Put away clothes.

Good morning goldenthreads!
Moved hose to lilac bush Went through 2 very old piles of papers on LR floor that I had basically stopped seeing. I extracted a few personal items and tossed the rest. I will never read these and besides, they will keep sending. (All the environmental and social justice organizations I’ve ever given money to etc) Took bag of papers out to recycling bin

Hi all,

todo: -deal with one small surface in the kitchen -laundry -finish clearing top of sm dining table

Good afternoon all!
This morning when I woke up I was all congested, had a sore throat, and just wanted to stay in bed. I was wondering if COVID finally caught up with me! Anyway, it's afternoon now, and I'm feeling better.
Ta-da's: Checked on the chickens. Their automatic door stopped working a few days ago. Moved the dishes from the sink into the dishwasher (I had unloaded the before bed last night.) Ate some breakfast, and later some lunch.
Rested and took it easy for a while. Sipped on some tea. Got the mail, picked and ate a few grape tomatoes while I was outside Folded and put away some laundry
To-do: Find 5 things to toss from the bathroom Shred some papers (I use this as bedding for the chicken coop, then compost it.) School taxes are due the end of the month. I need to make sure I have enough money in the checking account to cover this. My nephew is getting married next weekend. I need to plan what I am wearing/packing/doing for a gift, etc. (It is in another state, so requires some travelling/packing/planning.

FYI: I was just listening to the Clutter Fairy, and they said that if you have art and craft supplies, including used, that you no longer need, you can Google "creative reuse [your city]" to find a place to donate the items. I was able to find the website of one of those places near me. Put away clothes from rack. Did stretches. Did arm exercises. Set up new watering schedule/table. Update food diary from all my scribbled notes of last week. Put away clothes from dryer. Get dressed. Respond to text from friend. (Thanks, grasshopper . You reminded me.) This evening: Water the front section I didn't get to.

So, some of you are aware I've got project bag making in the works. Bits purchased, a plan, a bank account, a business registered in my state.
At work, a very frugal partner retired. We had to tape torn 3 ring binders back together. The remaining partner set aside the taped and torn binders for disposal. Awesome! Well, i want the chipboard out of them, for my bags. Brought a boxful home.
Just sat on the porch and cut them up. Tada!
Came in, after I'd PUPA'd tools and trash, there was another armload I'd forgotten. O well. There'll be more.

goldernthreads. Strength and patience is very needed. Could you send it again?
Today
Went to home depot 3 more boxes bought drove to the new place to check it out from the outside filled a big tote with my clothes and hangers
To Do pack a box
I don't think 10% has been done towards the move. DH always is very tired whenever it comes to doing any work towards it. I am having a bad day realizing 9/15 is not far off.

We have a thunderstorm! Right here, at this house! And... it made some splotches on the sidewalk and is moving away. The sun is out again. oust You know why I was sending you patience. I wonder if making a very specific request would help him get moving, especially if making decisions is hard for him. E.g., "Could you pack up all the clothes you want to keep but won't need for the next few weeks?" "Could you sit right there and go through that stack of papers? Here's the wastebasket for those not worth keeping." Those sound doable for a person who gets tired thinking about helping. Sorry if my obvious opinion makes you feel worse. One way or another you (singular or plural) will get this done, even if your 10% is accurate. Here's some more strength and patience. Should I send you caffeine in the morning? You could pass it on if you don't want it. grasshopper Nice finds! I can't wait to see what you find next time you go through papers. (I am waiting for $300 in one of my boxes. Might be a false memory, though.) BetsyMarie Hurray for yard work early in the day. Good job on that laundry. Ally Hope you keep feeling better. mouseanne Another busy Saturday for you! Good job confiscating rescuing materials for your products. Got dressed. Took out compostables. PUPA 5 minutes. Set up new watering schedule/table. Update food diary from all my scribbled notes of last week. Put away clothes from dryer. Respond to text from friend. (Thanks, grasshopper . You reminded me.) Work on other end of the living room; specifics to be determined. This evening: Water the front section I didn't get to.

Hello All! Ta'da: Wiped down section of kitchen counter, sink and microwave Shredded some papers Worked on quilt top. (It's about 1/4 way done) Moved money into checking account to pay tax bill. Put chicken in pressure cooker (I use some of this for my meals, and some to supplement food for the cats.) To-do: Start a load of laundry Take care of cooked chicken. If I decide to go to the family reunion tomorrow, I need to get somethings ready. (Some food, a book, a chair and maybe a swimsuit and towel?) I'm on the fence about going.
