Good morning, oust, mouseanne, seahorse, Ally and all to come! ❄️ We got some snow last night, less than an inch. The grass is poking through and the sidewalks are already clear. In other good news, one replacement credit card arrived a couple of days ago. Had a good sleep and woke up naturally due to moderating food and caffeine yesterday. Took out recycling. Made bed and had meds. Run Roomba in bedroom. Fill pill minder. Sweep, vacuum stairs.

Hi all!
This post is not going to follow the usual format.
ta-da's: Called into CLA meeting, but honestly was distracted by news conference that started at the same time. Late yesterday afternoon, there was a chocolate factory explosion about 10 miles from where I live. I used to work with someone who's mom worked there. Spent a few minutes reading a couple pages from BIT.
Current assignment from book is to pick up and item, go through the decision making process, put it away or discard it. It also recommends working in one area for 30 minutes.
When I was reading a few days ago, there was a recommendation to reward yourself after meeting your goal.
Decision: I'm planning to go to the kitchen and totally clear off and clean the kitchen counter-tops. I will discard or box-up for donation anything that I decide not to keep. I will put away everything else.

Filled pill minder. Ran Roomba in bedroom; of course this involved taking stuff from the floor and putting it on the bed. Tabulated the fraudulent charges listed on my CC account. Called, but I have to wait until Monday to get the right people. Sweep/ vacuum stairs. Do stretches. Shower and get dressed.

goldenthreads, I'm so sorry to hear about your CC account. That is really terrible. ta-da's: Washed and dried bed linens and a few articles of clothing Used flea comb on cat. Got 2 off of her. Prepared and ate some dinner A bit more tidying up in the kitchen Duolingo lessons, a few Spanish and a few Swedish to-do: Make my bed I will be teaching multiple sessions at our education days at work on Wednesday and Thursday (Employees go station to station, and so I'll have 2-4 people at a time) My topic is Methacholine Challenge Testing. I need some time to prepare some handouts and some visual aids. I need to have it mostly prepared by Monday evening, because I work a long shift on Tuesday. I think I'm pretty much done today... except the kitchen timer is buzzing and I don't remember why... Oh yeah! I decided to bake some platanos (Plantains). My memory is gone.

Oops...got totally sucked into online stuff and texting for a while this morning after I posted my last WIT update. My 41st high school reunion was last night (I didn't go - live too far away to pop in) and also found out that a classmate/neighbor died recently. Was catching up via text with a HS friend and then started to look at photos on FB. Oh well...
TA DA Did some yoga Cut my toenails - TMI, but a big deal!! Tidied a tiny bit in the upstairs landing area
Now making a healthy brunch and then hope to get some stuff done, although I can also see napping and movie/series watching in my future...
