I decided to take the dog for a walk but it probably was not the right decision--I didn't realize the wind was so strong and cold, we walked to the mailboxes and then on the way home I saw a dog about a quarter block away that didn't look like it was on a leash, so I hurried her home--I don't think it was a very satisfying walk for her.
I'm eating lunch now.

Thanks Diane. The biggest heavy lift is done; now I’ll get questions and requests for modifications but the hard part is done for one year! I am doing dribs and drabs of work. I am tired! I just played outside w puppy. Now all three animals are with me inside Girlcat is on my feet! I am prob going to go take puppy for a walk in one hour. A strategic decision. I hope to avoid the after work crowd who let the dogs off leash. Diane I totally get you hurrying away!!! It is a danger for us as puppy gets so excited. And who knows if the other dog is friendsly. Also I want daylight. I think the park will be safer for me than the icy sidewalks. And I want to go as late as I can so it uses up some puppy energy that would otherwise be released tonight.  . A very strategic decision! While out playing w puppy I de-iced my car. It was totally coated! Puppy was digging her toys out of the frozen ground. Ok some more dribs and drabs |

Oh , I remember about dogs ! We had 2 Golden Retrievers, long ago---Janet and Jessie. Not at the same time--- They were wonderful and very high energy. Loved them so much, even as much as this cat lady loves cats !! I couldn't manage them now, but back then, we did fine. We also have a fenced in yard. My cats are much easier and very cherished too. Last night, my new BP monitor finally came and my BP was disappointedly too high still, even on new meds. But this morning, it was very good ! I am taking notes and have a Dr. appt. tomorrow. Have done a small load of laundry today, and taken the washed bed linens to the attic. Put out some mail. Walmart order put away too. Made bed, did cat pans, etc. Hope this evening brings a few more things done. Really enjoying your posts, bree and Diane. catcats |

ended up cancelling the parents appointments. the hard part will be rescheduling them. they go together and I book 6 months out.
i fell asleep, then woke up and went to the store. made a casserole (broccoli chicken divan). fell into a deep sleep while it was in the oven and the bread crumb topping burned. 8pm and I am in my jammies ready to fall asleep again!!
tomorrow is another day

I have been doing a few things but also taking it easy. I did some PEEPing again, trying to leave the upstairs in good condition before bedtime.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!

I bought some organizers for the linen closet. Not sure if they will work. We put a cabinet door back on so 2 doesn't get into it so much. I am not really firing on all cylinders, so this is going painfully slowly. I need a break.

MLS---Hope you get some of your energy back. I also bought some new organizers for my linen closet and my bedroom closet. Haven't yet found time to put them in and load them though. Probably could PUSH myself harder and find time. Hang in there.

Thanks reve catcats and mylittlescholar! I need some organizers for my linen closet! So I managed to get some stuff done for work. I have this quirk that when I am late or behind on a project, I want to just forget about it - which can make it later! Today I pressed on for some late ones that cause me stress by being late! If anyone could follow that circular thought…. congrats! I took puppy for a walk to the park and we were the only ones there. I was happy then I realized maybe other people were smart enough to think walking in a park after an ice storm, with rainy ice still falling is prob not the best idea! As we walked in the light ice rain, I saw a big tree that had split in half and several huge branches (as in huge) that had been knocked off trees. I moved us to the center of fields and meadows for our walk! We were able to stay out of the range of falling trees should that happen. Thankfully none came down. It was wild to walk on the ice-coated snow -it was like walking on spongy surface. I had my arm pretty much in one angle to hold the leash and when we got back to the car, I discovered my coat had frozen into that bent shape! We saw only one human in the park. Puppy was besides herself with the sheer joy of life! She was walking, leaping, nose-diving, and rolling back and forth throughout the walk! I enjoyed the walk too, once I realized I could keep us far away from the trees. Puppy slept so well after the walk! I dozed off too. Made a simple dinner using more spinach -now that it is just me, a container of baby spinach requires creative use to finish it up. I put spinach in soups, tomato sauce, on sandwiches etc Did the dishes Dragged up the trash and recycling bin Did my nighttime routine Gnite! |

I actually got out a big mat and have been unloading stuff onto it, like near like, more or less. I still have the medicine cabinet and a box. not to mention my three drawers, but they are contained for the moment. DVD didn't think he had anything here. Ha!
I vacuumed out the linen closet shelves that were empty. two still are full of linens.
I am going to push through just one more episode of Grace and Frankie, and then I will be done with Season 5.

mylittlescholar@bree I bought some organizers for the linen closet.....I need some organizers for my linen closet! I would be happy if I could just access my linen closet!! Stuff piled in front is stuff that is headed out the door - so I am halfway there. And if there is a pile there - that means there is a pile headed out! Slept pretty well last night with the exception of waking up at 4am and starting to run the "to do" list through my head. So I was tired when I got up. And I really had to battle myself to get up. I know if I get up and move I will feel better and get things done. Motivation follows action. I just need more action! So I was 1/2 early to work (I am either early or late). I am making my list and really need to work through it. 1) draw up lease (tenants want to move in this weekend) hurray 2) email paperwork to financial advisor 3) Create 257 letters to be mailed out to clients (template is in the system - I just pull up each letter - add a comment to the box, then save the electronic copy. Busy work 4) Drive to apartment over lunch and get cleaning supplies I left behind 5) Make arrangements to get keys to tenant, pick up check and sign the leases (that might be after work or first thing in the am) 6) Pick up fish dinners from church (get cash from ATM to pay for them) Tomorrow 1) Get mother to bank early AM (try to close out two accounts and deposit her check) 2) get to another branch to close safety deposit box (this is a horrible bank/branch) 3) meet tenants to do lease/check/keys 4) deposit said check (different bank from the early am bank with my mom) OK - I feel better with a plan! Other things to do this weekend include cleaning the fridge (I emptied out stuff - just need to wash shelves); regular laundry (3-4 loads) perhaps change some bedding and wash towels. And of course, work at my parents house. OK - time to get working - I am the only one here - either everyone else is very late or I came in on a day off!

Good morning ohblondie and PS!
I went to the bank this morning to take myself off of my senior client's account. It was quick, no problems. Then I went to the library.
The dog needed to go out again last night--I have no idea why this is an issue now--it doesn't seem to be her bladder, she poops as soon as we get outside as if that is the thing that made her want to go out. No diarrhea. This is something like 4-5 times out of the last week when she used to do this once or twice a month. I still got close to 6 hours of sleep, but I just feel so tired.
I have to call my senior client to tell her the bank visit was successful, but she sleeps until 11 or so, so I have to wait. I'm going to work on email deletion since I can never seem to get ahead on that.
Diane
