Welcome to October! 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!

We put together 2 new lamps today, they just arrived. Boxes are by the door ready to go out.
I washed my hair
Cooked a meal of Beef dumplings mixed veg and brown rice
DH washed half of the dihses which was a help
I vacuumed up a little while it still has a charge. Still didn't see the charger for it
Found and plugged in the 2nd air purifier
Lit a new pink candle from that famous candle making company, name escapes me but it does smell good if a little strong
We have been eating out a little too much probably because we are still tired from the move. It was good to do a cooking hour today.
