I had my long phone call, took the dog out again, and watched some cable news, lots going on today.
I'm going to have dinner now and then try to do a few more things before getting ready for bed.

cando I started making the lists because I have a lot to do but I am pretty slow at it so I just do what I can over the week with the list as a reminder to do stuff. I pick themes for the week usually. This week is a flower garden so I have a flower type per day with for me one being more maintenance šø and the being more out of the ordinary but supporting my long term cleaning goals šŗ. So each day has two for this week. Some weeks I do aquarium and do fish or zoo and do animals or whatever theme I pick for the week. I tend to like the flower garden one. On the weekend it is usually flowers or šcatipillar maintenance with š¦butterfly for goals. Or š pet fish and š§š»āāļø little mermaid. once I did week based on my planned potential future vacations. lots of boxes and food put up today. i am taking break for ten min then back at it.

TML Thanks for explaining about your lists! I love it! Iām not as technically capable so donāt have any idea how to add those cute little pictures. Maybe I can do something like that in either a cute document on my laptop or on paper with stickers. Iāll have to give it some thought. Last night, I did get at least one thing worked on or done at/for homeā¦ as was my goal. Folded load of laundry Put away that load (I also worked very late last night. It was very frustrating as I normally can get this particular type thing done pretty quickly. Finally I figured out the efile website must have been having a problem; however, since my boss & I are not that experienced with this -still- I thought that either previously he had done something that might have messed up his profile or I had, or that I kept doing the wrong things. Iām sure that I spent waay too much time on this & he probably wouldnāt have wanted me to. Oh well. Iāll try again this morning & be able to call for support. It was after hours last night but one has until midnight to get it dated that same day; however, human support ends at 7pm. I asked DH to come to my office as some of the building lights had already been turned off by 6:30pm & it can be a rough area at night. I didnāt know how lights would be as it got later. Heās so sweet & luckily he was able to come out there. I did let myself get overly stressed by this work item that didnāt get done. Ghah! So, I have another great reason to get my house in good shape. Even just ābarely good enoughā shape. Our bookkeeper who is at our other office about 2 hour drive away is getting ready to have major medical procedure done within a 15-25 minute drive from my home. Sheāll be in the hospital for at least a month & then for the following 2-3 months will need to come in at least weekly. They want her to be closer to the area. She is going to do all she can to stay where she lives & commute from there, but if notā¦ unless her insurance will cover itā¦ she will have to find a place to either live temporarily during that time or at least a day or two per week. Iāve offered for her to stay here & anything else I can do to help her out. She knows that Iām a mess & claims she is too, but I donāt really believe that.  . It wonāt be until February or later. So, I have a little time but itās been a long time since Iāve had my home in good enough shape for someone to come over. I need & want to get it all cleaned up for many great reasons. This is another one!! Anyway, DH is on the same page. I will aim for 4-5 things to get done tonight when I get home!!!! (Btw, our grandsonās other gramma who has been caring for him & his cousin this weekā¦ well both she & his little cousin got very sick yesterday. My DH has been waking up the past couple days at 4am to pick grandson up & take to meet the other gramma at 6:45am. This is because our DS has been too sick to drive him and/or take care of him & DDil is working her last few days at her work & training staff before she starts her new job somewhere else. She gave 2 weeks notice, I believe. Anyway, DS thinks he may be able to care for him today even though Heās still pretty sick & still had fever yesterday. ). Hope everyone had a great day! I feel refreshed & motivated, again, now that the headache that I woke up with is gone & I must have slept well. See yall later. Cd

DD is on her way home. So this am I started clearing off the bed for her. I have reduced the amount of crap in that room - not substantially but you can see the piles are smaller. I still have to clean the bathroom. Maybe she will hit traffic....
Earlier this week I found my black vest. But I could not locate the shirt that goes with it. I was bummed because I wanted to wear it this week. Well today I found the shirt but the vest is nowhere to be found. Really? in the black hole in two days?
today my left hip is quite sore. I think it is because I sleep on my left side and do not roll to my right. I guess I need to be more aware of that and flip over during the night.
My car has become a staging area for so much crap - and this morning I could not find my work bag. UGH - I need to just pull up my biog gir ants and deal. I did get three items returned to the store last night.
DH started talking about quitting his part time job last night. That was going to be his retirement gig. Then he started the retirement talk as well. His daytime full-time job. I think if he was retired during the day - he would not get so stressed out at night at his PT job. Why is it so scary to take the plunge and retire? We dont have retirement savings ut we will have a small pension that will be ok.
OK - enough pondering - I am banging through my required weekly paperwork. And dealing with emails.
Waiting to see what the storm will bring us.

Good morning--wow, we have a full house already today, this is going to be a productive day!
Last night I stayed up a bit later than usual because I was watching the coverage of Zelensky's speech to Congress, he is inspiring. I did fall asleep as soon as I shut the light off, but the dog needed to go out at 1am, and I couldn't fall back until 3am. I made myself get up at 6:30 to stay on track. Although the dog did not want to get out of the warm bed to go out this morning, since she had been out at 1:00. So I did a few things on the first floor until she was ready.
The house already feels really cold even though the really cold air is not here yet. The latest forecast still says snow starts at noon and freezing cold air gets here by the end of the afternoon.
I'm waiting for the library to open, I will go there and to the mailbox and after that will not be going anywhere until Tuesday, when it goes back into the 20s. Except of course, out with the dog and to shovel snow.

cando the pictures are just emoji. I have a world button on physical keyboard and an emoji button on the screen key board. Then I can screen through the emoji and pick the ones i want. What I do for the ones for the week is once I use them they show up on favorites so when I put them next to day of week they are favorites and i just go to my emoji fav and enter them on screen. It makes it faster. I went to Dr today and am good for that Dr for another year. I got 1/2 my freezer done before trash man showed up. I will try to get the rest of it and cabinets done today. I also realized I need to order a new colander as the two i have are all so old (they are Moms and plastic so I am betting they have BPAs and whatever else was in plastic back then). I continue to work and then take break and then back to work. Slow as molasses (bad joke)
