Hi goldenthreads! ta-da's: Listened to a youtube podcast about the relationship between the gut microbiome and mental health. It was very interesting, but I did doze off during it. Yogurt is incubating Ate some lunch Went out and removed the tomato cages and dead plants from one garden bed. It's bright and relatively warm out today. Back a couple of months ago, I had purchased some locally grown garlic to try to plant in my garden (it is supposed to be planted in the fall) I never planted it. today I dug into the frozen ground and put in 4 large garlic cloves. I guess this is what they call the hard-neck garlic. I watered it with warm water... No great loss if this doesn't work. Partially cleaned out chicken coop, and gave them fresh bedding. (I used shredded paper) Gave them some fresh water. to-do: I have a home depot bill to pay, and owe my daughter some money for a trip we are taking next week. I'm not going to push myself too hard because I am working tomorrow. I have lots of things I can do this afternoon. We'll see what I get accomplished.

ta-da's: Logged into my checking account. One problem with all of these things being on autopay is that I sometimes don't realize how depleted the account gets. Payed a bill, transferred some money from my long term savings account to cover the cost of our trip. Transferred some money into DD's account, since she paid for the airfare and Airbnb. (We will be somewhere a bit warmer next week!) That's it. I haven't actually moved since my last post.

I've done a lot the past few days, and a bit more this morning, so the rest of the day will be relaxing. Sometimes that is just needed. Done: -took a few more things to the trash pick-up on the curb. The truck came, and it was good to see it all go. I could have sorted more to go, but the body was not willing. -emptied the car -straightened the wood pile, and covered it from the rain. And that's that for the day. But you never know. Looking forward to a hot cuppa, a mindless video, and a warm fire.

I'm glad to see other WITers at work. I was tested yesterday for Covid and thought I'd won the lottery (other family caught it) but the lab emailed me the results of the slow test. GAH! Luckily, the doc said I have no risk factors that make antiviral necessary. I'm just going to dose myself with OTC cold meds. And take it easy, which will not be easy. TA-DAH 1. Put bedding into dryer 2. Vacuumed utility closet floor 3. Eat a VERY late lunch 4. Washed dishes 5. Took a nap 6. Put ladder back (used for workers to access the attic) 7. Put back hanging clothes 8. Drove car from street and parked near porch 9. Hung vacuum back on its hook TO DO 1. Make bed with clean sheets 2. Get ready for bed 3. Start a load of laundry

Hello OnTheMend! I'm jumping in here, too, to get started for a busy day! I have one friend visiting 11 - 3:30 and then two friends visiting 4:00 - whenever. Oh my! And I decided to pull apart the very small and messy office/storage room yesterday and lost interest part-way through, so all of the upstairs rooms are now quite messy. Two separate issues since thankfully the entertaining will be done downstairs. Ok - where to begin? TO DO Brush mouth guard and teeth Squeeze yoga mat on floor and stretch for 10 minutes Meditate 5 minutes This is difficult because my mind is racing and I want to jump right into getting stuff done, but I also need some self care, so will start with that even though I'm feeling like "there's no time for that!!!", which probably isn't true... Woops - forgot to post this before I got up! Did the above list and now will move on to... TO DO Go downstairs Turn on tree and other strings of lights (foyer and powder room) Put away clean dishes in drainer 5 minutes tidy LR and foyer Check powder room Wash one dish

TA DA Watered the rest of the downstairs plants Got out old salad - still need to check it - can I still eat it and make fresh salad for lunch friend? Got out veggies - need to see what I have to chop up for salad TO DO Put on indoor exercise clothes and shoes Check salad - still edible? Quickly chop red cabbage, carrot, baby bok choy, parsley to add to baby lettuce and spinach for lunch salad Get out seeds and mix together Put dressing choices in one stop on fridge shelf What else needs to be done for lunch prep?
