Welcome to March! The guidelines for WIT are simple:- Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. ☝️- Do one more little thing.- Do another little thing.- Once you have 3 things done, post them here!- Post the next 3 things you plan on doing.- Go forth and conquer, return and post again.- You aren't required to do the 3 things you had planned on -- just get any 3 things done and then post proudly.Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed,or just need to break your tasks down into something manageable, you are in the right place!If the next 15 minutes consists of:- Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying 😢- Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen- Put away book 📚- Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash  . . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE-DOM !!!You could post:Ta-Da's- Took pop can to kitchen- Put away phone book- Threw away McDonald's wrappersThen your To-Do's:- Bring plates and glasses to kitchen- Put dirty socks in hamper- Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away.Whether you do those 3 to-do's, or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post.Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da!If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you.Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das.YOU DESERVE THEM!

Ta-da's:
Picked up some odds and ends, some went into the trash, some went to the kitchen, some went into the donation box
Moved the wash into the dryer
Sorted though a small box... there were parts to some hummingbird feeders in it, and when DH swept yesterday, he dumped the sweepings into the box. The sweepings were mostly junk, but some of it was potentially useful... but from what I'm learning in BIT I could have probably just tossed the whole contents out. The hummingbird feeder broke years ago, just shortly after I bought it, and I was hoping to fix it, because it was an expensive, fancy one... but it has been broken for a few years, and I haven't done anything with it. (I had contacted the manufacturer when it broke, and they had told me that if I mailed it back to them, they would replace it, but that was a few years ago, and I never followed through.)
Time for my meeting now...
to-do:
I'll be back later

Good morningish, Ally!  <-- Today's cups have tea instead of coffee. It's an experiment as I have plenty of tea, but only some foul coffee that was given to me. If this turns out to work as a caffeine delivery system, I may become more of a morning tea drinker. Put away dishes. PUPA 5 minutes. Started dishes soaking. Start a load of wash. Run the shredder. |

That ginger tea sounds good, Ally ! I add fresh or ground ginger to my green tea, and buy herbal teas containing ginger, but it hadn't occurred to me to make my own. When I have drunk down some of my vast supply of herbal tea bags, I will give that a try.  Washed dishes. Started a load of wash. Found my checkbook. Redo my purse from the jury day. Download tax software. Figure out how much my daughter owes me. |
