Good to see you here, ClimbingPyramids! seahorse What a great idea to have your friend with you in the kitchen as you washed dishes. Instead of a dreaded chore, washing dishes was just a thing you were doing with your hands as you enjoyed the company. Refilled hand soap dispensers. Washed dishes. Got dressed. Clean bathroom sink and mirrors. Send email about insurance. Afternoon errands: Deliver daughter's groceries, make a deposit at bank, donate books at library. Heading out now.

TA DA Took dirty dishes downstairs Put away clean dishes Organized dirty dishes Turned on downstairs window candles and tree Tidied a bit in the foyer Turned on upstairs window candles I timed all that and is was a little over 8 minutes! TO DO Find plastic bags to use for fridge storage (my mom sent me delicious honey bells!) Put oranges and plastic bag and put in fridge drawer Wash one dish

Hi goldenthreads! missjean, It's sunny enough that it feels nice out. I was out shoveling compost with out a jacket. It's only 44F but I guess with the physical activity and being in the sun, it felt warmer. ta-da's: Did some laundry Did a bit more tidying up. Assembled a compost tumbler. (I have a compost bin out back that is probably 30 years old, and it is falling apart.) Partially disassembled old compost bin, and moved several shovels full of compost into the raised beds. (I realized that the one type of "biodegradable" produce bags I had put in the compost were not biodegrading. I had used some compostable bags in the past that did break-down.) Ate lunch todo: Go for a walk, Do more yardwork Put the sheets back on my bed. Spend a little time decluttering my bedroom Spend some time reading Chapter 7 in BIT.
