Welcome to November! 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! |

Good morning all!  Welcome to December WIT  Ta-da's: Prepared breakfast and ate it. Currently sipping on some tea. Put dirty dishes into the dishwasher, scrubbed out a few empty cat food cans to be recycled Scrubbed kitchen sink To-do: Pay some bills. (Most of my bills are on auto-pay, but there are a few exceptions.) Laundry More decluttering in the kitchen More decluttering in the bathrooms I am behind in the decluttering course I am taking. I need to read the materials and watch the video for that. Maybe I'll do that first. |

goldenthreads!  for getting kitchen chores done! ta-da's: Listened and read material for "uncluttered" course Ate some lunch Started laundry Fed chickens/got mail Drilled holes, installed handles and rehung 2 kitchen cabinet doors.  (I think it looks better in real-life) This is the sink cabinet. The top section flips open and there are 2 tiny bins on the back side of it. All of the cabinets had brass plates with porcelain knobs like that, but the brass was tarnished and looked bad, and some of the knobs were cracked, 2 were completely broken, and many of the remaining ones were just very difficult to get looking nice any more. This kitchen is 40 years old. I removed the brass plates and the knobs, and found handles in an appropriate size that could use the one hole that was already drilled, and then drill another hole would be near the top of the door. I'm still not sure whether I'll put a new pull in the middle of all of the drawers or I'll switch to handles. This project will take me a few weeks. to-do: Laundry Prepare dinner 2 more cabinet doors? (The old hardware is already off, and the doors polished, so just drill the hole, apply the new hardware and rehang.
