Ha! I can't remember what I posted last...
ta-da's:
I started some laundry
Went outside and added organic matter to raised beds that I will be using starting in late spring.
Last summer was my first time using a raised metal bed. I filled it with yard debris, logs, leaves, compost, shredded paper, bedding from the chicken coop, sawdust..., and then topped it off with a couple inches of purchased garden soil. I had pretty good success. I purchased another larger bed in the fall, so I am trying to fill it with organic matter which will have time to decompose a little and settle before May. It's a concept called "Hugelkultur"
Moved laundry to the dryer
to-do:
Take care of the laundry. Some of it is suitable for rags or disposing of. I need to follow through with this.
I have an eye appointment on Monday. I want to get some items moved to my car... to be donated or whatever. It seems that I should be able to find a place to donate stuff along my route. (I have about 20 ink cartridges that I want to donate to a local cat TNR facility.)
More decluttering? We will see.

Hi all. Dreary day here. I hope to get more indoor work done. But for now I'm enjoying a morning fire to take the chill off -- and remembering that a few years ago, there was so much stuff in this house that a fire would have been totally unsafe. Relish the progress. this morning: -litter box -refilled water filter and made cocoa -built a small fire in the fireplace.  todo: -continue with mini challenge in the 'sunroom' (no sun today.  ) -second session in sunroom - still lots to do, but progress is being made -food prep |

Hi all - I have had a lot of trouble here lately with things being stolen so put up a security camera. Not sure if it will work because it is on a motion detector and I read that it is supposed to be powered on all the time. Might have to get a handyman to install a set. It’s so depressing when even your decorations from your porch are cut down. I had a beautiful crystal hanging in front of my door with fishing line and someone cut it down. Even flowers have been stolen. I left my big Tupperware bowl outside from throwing hot water on my car during an ice storm and it disappeared right away. Many other things too
Ta Da:
Unscrewed porch light and got security camera in. Vacuumed out all dead moths with a little hand held vacuum that I bought for that purpose.
Got dead leaves raked up in driveway and old plant pots cleared out. Most days when I get home from work it is already dark. Glad it was sunny here today
Cleaned driveway up of all other debris that has collected all winter

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation heretoday - that sounds terrible. Sending hugs. Hello WITers! TO DO Finally finished a weekly work project and sent it off. I thought it would take a lot less time because I did some of it last week and someone else worked on a lot of it.  Made and ate a healthy lunch Started to prep lunch for in-person work day tomorrow Had a phone call w/someone in an agency where I applied for a personal home-related grant. I'm glad I left a message last week (that was a big deal!). The deadline is tomorrow and I wanted to make sure my application from last year was still valid. She reviewed the details with me, so I feel like I did my due diligence. It turns out that since I'm not a senior yet and have no minors in the house that I will most likely not get funded even though I meet the qualifications. Super bummed, but glad to know. TA DA 10 minutes work project ORE 5 minutes work project NSL 5 minutes - start to organize stuff that needs to be unpacked from weekend trip |

Good afternoon seahorse... I'm exhausted... ta-da's: Got up this morning and took a bunch of stuff out to my car: Recyclables, Chicken Food, Ink Cartridges. Ate breakfast. Dropped of recyclables at main road. Drove to ophthalmologist's office, dropping of the bag of chicken feed at a friend's house on the way (45 minute drive) Spent 2 hours at ophthalmologist's office. That is entirely too long to be waiting.  After ophthalmologist, I drove to a hardware store and a health food store, both on my way home. (I had thought about dropping off ink cartridges at cat TNR site, but that was out of the way, my vision is blurry from the eye drops...) Prepared some lunch... ate. To-do: I'm going to take a short nap and then: Food prep for tomorrow and Wednesday Decluttering for 20 minutes etc |
