TwinkleToes I do remember one of your last posts on the weekday thread stated you had worked your butt off! And I remember your long lists of Tadas last week. You truly were amazing last week. Could it be you just need a little break? Otherwise I feel certain you will get your motivation back. I just love your long lists and how much you get done especially when you do your ring around the house. I’ve been wanting to do one of those and just always too exhausted or my plan to do it gets messed up by things out of my control… I would love to try it one time but right now I have other focuses for today. I have to visit my mother, etc. Wishing both of us a very good day today. Hey, maybe try working in threes thread? Wishing you only good things! Cd

anyway, good afternoon! I slept in, and got dressed right before DVD arrived. we are working on the attic today; it will be good to get the holiday decor squared away.
ETA: okay now I am glad that I slept in! I am always lost when the site goes down.
I begged off to drink coffee and do a check in while DVD cuts apart new vinyl numbers so we can countdown to Dec 25 the whole year.  343 more days!

we did some rearranging in the attic and then stashed all the holiday stuff. 
the mess is more scattered, but at least more space.

did some more! I am so out of shape and overweight.When I clean or organize for more than ten minutes or so, I get very hot and sweat profusely. It’s a workout for sure. I am going to take a long hot shower with my favorite soap this evening. Nothing fancy - Dial antibacterial gold. Ha ha

mylittlescholar Great job putting away holiday stuff & starting the laundry train! dtesposito Yeah, came to post but couldn't... This was my yesterday -- it is long! but it was a great day for me... Yesterday morning, my DH & I got quite a lot done.DH really did a lot.Tadas:Swiped Front bathroom toiletCleaned a part of front bathroom mirrorCleaned part of the sink counterRefilled soap containerTossed empty powder boxStraightened sink counter items in front bathroom & put a few things in the front bathroom closetPut away new hair comb clips that I bought the night before last.Emptied front bathroom trash & replaced bags
Cleaned front bathroom faucets
Cleaned part of front bathroom mirror
A couple swipes of front bathroom floorPut laundry load in washerDH cleaned & straightened sink counter in kitchen & part of Entry HallRemoved dust/hair from part of entry hall floorBoxed up some stuff in entry hall to take to DDil. Sewing stuff from 3 legged stool/wooden storage piece.DH loaded sewing machine w/table into our suv to take to DDil
Put 3 legged stool/sewing supplies holder in car to take to DIl
Took 2 boxes & 1 bag to SUV for DDilThis was really huge as these had been taking up lots of space in our Entry Hall for the past 2 1/2 years! Brought here for my daughter. She had wanted it & changed her mind. Not going into it now, but I’m very saddened by my daughters words And actions of the last 1 1/2 years.Anyway, my DDil wanted it all & couldn’t take it to her sooner due to illnesses & car trouble.We are both soo happy to have these items out of our Entry Hall!!!Tossed old box of dog treats. Too old to give her the rest of them.Tossed about 30 plastic lids & 7 plastic containers that have been sitting on kitchen sink counter. We had planned to wash & reuse them—- but have been there for so long we’re very, very dusty. Decided to just toss them.Took to outside can: 4 cases for of nutritional shakes that were bought for my DDad in 2020/2021 before he had to get a feeding tube.Tossed 1 big bottle of formula type food for feeding tube.We had so wanted to give them away or donate them but couldn’t find anyone at the time & didn’t have much time to spend trying to find someone to give them to since my Dad was in & out of hospitals & rehabs & my Mom in different hospital at same time as him & then his death, funeral, moving my Mom from assisted living to group care home, my sweet big dog had seizures & trouble walking & we had to let her go at vets office, etc.DH & I had really resisted throwing these away. They were in our Entry Hall & also took a lot of space.DH tossed 2 bags & a 6 papers from ottoman in denHe also removed some medical supplies from ottoman that were bought for him months ago & put in Daughter’s old room/his office. ( a temporary location).DH put 10 boxes by back door to be recycled.DH cleaned up back patio some.DH took big bag of ashes from grill, potting soil, & various other trash/debris to outside canDH cut up old soaker hose & put in bag & then into outside can1 empty box into outside recycle can17 papers into recycle bagMet with flooring person at our house. He went in every room & closet & took measurements. It was so embarrassing & humiliating!  He gave us some good recommendations & DH & I made some decisions before he measured.But, I’m glad we did this as it is a positive step forward.I will be taking off work some on Monday to go to his showroom to look at floor samples. And maybe even go ahead & order & schedule.We have decided the following:Carpet in our master bedroomTile in back bathroomEither vinyl or laminate pergo type (looks like wood) flooring in 3 bedrooms, hallway, den, kitchen & dining room.We are not replacing the floor in the front bathroom and in the laundry area.Insurance will pay for all the bedrooms, back bathroom, hallways & den. Although we may be paying some extra for things like molding, thicker pad, baseboards, etc.We will be paying for the kitchen & dining room floors.After meeting with floor person, we headed to DS’s to celebrate his 32nd birthday. It is an hour drive away. On the way there had car trouble - transmission, again. Same vehicle we just got back about a week ago. After the dealership had it for 3 months… (it just had a new transmission put it in it). We had to get off the expressway.DDil’s sister picked me up on her way to my DS’s house.DH drove car back home. He made it ok. It will be towed from our home back to the dealership, tomorrow.DH drove different car to DS’s house later.Had great time with everyone!!Had phone call Re: DMil. Not doing well, again. Might have to leave rehab & go to hospital tomorrow. Dr will be going to see her in the morning.Bad dieting & not enuf water.
