Good morning! Lennon, thanks for starting the thread!
It's raining here, luckily right when it was time to take the dog out it let up to a light drizzle, now it's heavier again.
I slept well last night, third night in a row. This is why I don't understand how the dog can have to go out 3 nights out of 4, then not for 3 nights in a row. But I'm grateful that she's had some peaceful nights too.

Hi lennon and Diane! And all who join later! My weekend was not as productive as I planned! I kept up with the dishes and litter Did one load of laundry Walked puppy each day on long glorious treks in the park. She is joy personified (dogified?) I ended up going shopping on Saturday, unplanned, but I realized I need some things, some basics. Bought socks and underwear Bought one pair of jeans and one business casual pants I hate to shop. So acquisitions are not my problem I only have two other pairs of jeans and they are now worn dog-walking clothes. So glad to have a new pair. Don’t love the other pants but I might wear out of necessity as I really need clothes. One thing is I hate my current weight! And trying on clothes in the harsh fluorescent lights is so demoralizing! So I finally weighed myself. I am at my highest weight. I have been at this weight before. So now I am really trying to focus on weight loss. I am also hoping to save money by eating the supplies I have but they are carb heavy. I am glad I weighed myself as this is an important thing to help me to be more aware of my eating choices. I was hoping with all my dog walking there’d be some difference! Today I need to really get some work done. Work work. I did not work on painstaking project over the weekend I did get to church and also served about three hours as a volunteer at a work event. Sunday between church and volunteer commitment, I did vac living room and upholstery, put a clean blanket on dog loveseat, dusted furniture, and cleaned the glass in the front and back doors. So far today - fed animals, got ready for work, and here I am! Need to focus on painstaking project 🥺 |

I had to leave a message for Walmart, this is a number specifically to the home delivery department so there's a chance they will call me back--if not I will have to go onto chat and report my missing order.
Next:
Call decluttering client Wash some dishes Fill pill container Delete 30 emails

Well it is supposed to snow again tonight into tomorrow morning and again friday or Saturday. I have to work all week in the office so - I hope I dont have to take a snow day tomorrow! Tonight my plans: 1) Drop off check at nursing home (I sent in a check to pay it, they returned it saying the bill had been paid, then they sent another bill. UGHHHHHHHH 2) Drop off check for minister (she was on a cruise - I think she is home now) 3) Help my mother take a shower 4) run a load of lighter colored laundry (I have two to run - will do one tonight and one tomorrow night) 5) Pray for lots of snow and school to be closed so that my meeting for tomorrow night is cancelled. (  !!!!) Onwards and upwards |

Good afternoon ohblondie and PS!
Ohblondie, I will hope that you get lots of snow so you don't have your meeting!
I think our rain has stopped for the day, I just took the dog out and it is ridiculously warm out there, together with the humidity from the rain I was actually uncomfortable in my winter clothing. It's 58 degrees out there!
Next:
Figure out a step for the dog--box of books? 10 minutes on first floor Check for mail and packages

Diane good advice> I made some progress on painstaking project
I am home for lunch wiht puppy. my gas and electric bill has a huge charge on it! I have been keeping my heat at 65 degrees for two months to save money and it is higher htan ever. our utility is awful and makes mistakes and keeps people on hold. This is my third call today! first call the guy told me to call another number. that was about a 20 minute wait and the rep was absolutely useless. said she could do nothing, call another number. I am now on hold 56 minutes and have 48 calls ahead of me!
I actually cried when I opened the bill. money is tight, and I have been so cold at home, going to bed early to be warm under the blankets as it is so cold and now I have over $300 in additional charges.
I am so sad!

Oh bree so sorry to hear this. How awful. Don't be cold it will make you miserable. Feel free to pm me and maybe i can advise on saving a few dollars.
I have been sick with a fever most of the weekend. Not sure what happened. But feeling better so it looks like i will make it.
I took the trash actually i drove it to the dumpster
Parked in the garage because of some snow coming and i won't have the energy to clean it off
Stripped the bed and got it washed and dried.....i am moving slowly
ate a half can of soup
dumped the dishes from 3 days in the sink....not many because i wasn't eating and i don't care about washing them until tomorrow
Heading back for a lay down maybe a couple of hours or so.

Oust, I hope you feel better!
Bree, didn't you say your bill was going to be an estimate? Maybe they estimated high?
I made a step for the dog by taking a long, low box that I had saved (this is why I save a variety of boxes...) and filled it tight with books. I taped it shut and put it next to the ottoman that the dog uses to get up on the bed. I don't think she'll jump down to the box, but just in case I will need to put some of that sticky vinyl stuff underneath it so it doesn't slide. I've watched her jump down from the ottoman onto a bath mat I have on the floor, and she usually clears the area where the box is. Even the ottoman is too high for her now, sometimes she has trouble jumping up onto it--it is just heartbreaking to see her age, and quickly, too.
I filled the box with books I was saving for the "little library" that I never did get--that way I know I won't need those books for a while.
I'm eating lunch now.
Diane

Two achievements today ➡️finished the day with an empty sink (not going to admit how long it took🥴) &➡️ allowed myself fun time at the local pool,, especially enjoyed leaping in and out of the water like a demented dolphin 🐬😆
Feeling rough tonight, have to be up early for work in the morning, so brufen & sleepers on the menu tonight, I hurt and too much overthinking after old fashioned family-dynamics kicked in at a get together yesterday ((right now I don't feel like I want anyone to come here on the Easter deadline I had planned🚫))
Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, I was feeling super happy only a couple of days before...,
