Hi goldenthreads! Hope you get the c.c. stuff straightened out soon - what a bummer. TA DA Challenged myself to focus on putting away holiday decorations for 30 minutes - made it to 28 mins! Gathered all downstairs window candles and ext cords, wrapped up and put in storage box Removed one string of lights from fake lighted tree (bulbs blew out, so I had to fortify with a string of lights) (thankfully I undecorated the tree months ago, but it's still just standing in the LR!) Put decorations that I brought upstairs earlier into correct boxes and found lids TO DO Put away the window candles in my bedroom 10 minutes organizing holiday boxes already in closet and adding boxes that are currently floating around my bedroom - determined to get all holiday boxes/items put away in the closet today! 10 minutes work task

Really struggling with doing anything, so going to simplify down to one task:
TO DO 5 minutes start to organize holiday boxes that are already in the closet

Ok - going to do another 5 minutes now Argh - I forgot a heavy box and now have to start over with rearranging. But, I will get up and just do it because I'm really close to having the decorations all put away, which will be a huge relief. Ok - I finally tackled the problem and got most of the boxes packed away. I think there is one more downstairs and I need to find two puzzles that I bought in December and put those with the holiday stuff.

ta-da's: Logged into work meeting... Sorted out vitamins into pill thingies as I listened. Department morale has been low due to ongoing staffing shortages and the fall-out from Covid. They had someone from upper management introduce himself to us and explain what they are doing to help, then they had a woman from... I'm not sure what department, but she was talking to us about mindfulness, and then spent ~30 minutes talking us through relaxation/mindfulness session. To be honest, I zoned out during this, and even when our supervisor came back I could hear his voice, but I couldn't tell you what he was talking about, other than we had run out of time to finish going over stuff her had planned to go over. Carried recyclables down to the main road and compostables out to compost tumbler.
to-do Food prep for this week's meals at work. Prep my presentation on methacholine challenge testing. (I keep procrastinating on this, but I need to have this over 90% done today.) Spend some time cleaning in the kitchen. the fridge really needs a good clean-out.
ETA: I just remembered that DH put the shop-vac out in the hall, I want to use it to attack the cobwebs and and some of the other areas that need tidying up in my bedroom.

I spent a few minutes being distracted after my last post, but for the past 2 hours I have been working on my presentation. I still have a few more hours of work to do on this, but I am going to take a break and walk to the mailbox, eat some lunch, and maybe make some breakfast jars for later this week. (I don't know where the past 2-3 hours went!

Hi, Ally. You must have been really engrossed in your writing to feel surprised about the hours that went by. Sounds like you're well into it. Last night: Washed clothes. This morning: Put away dishes. Transferred clothes to dryer and rack. Screw cupboard hinge back on. (I opened the door and it leaned.) Go through the kitchen and tighten any other screws that need it. Do stretches. Shower and get dressed.

Good work on getting those hinges tightened goldenthreads! I'm still engrossed in my work. Creating a power-point that I can print handouts from. It's very technical material and one of the shortcuts I was planning on using (copying some material from another PowerPoint) didn't work. It must have some type of protection on it. This is way more time consuming than I had anticipated. I'm going to take a break from this for a while and then come back to it later. Going out for a walk...

I miscounted. There are 17 cupboard doors.
Tightened the screws that I could reach and use a Phillips-head screwdriver on. Cleaned up BBQ sauce on chair and floor. PUPA 5 minutes.
Tighten the slotted screws and use ladder to get to remaining Phillips-head screws. Do stretches. Shower and get dressed.

So much for my walk I started, and it started to rain, I walked a bit more, and then returned home because I pulled up the local weather map on my phone, and there was a thunderstorm coming my way. I spent more time on my power-point. I's about done. I'm going to take my laptop to work with me tomorrow so I can go back and review/proof-read/edit it some more, then I hope to print up some handouts before the day is done, so they are ready to go on Wednesday morning. to-do: Food prep for the next couple of days Pack up papers and laptop so they are ready to go in the morning. Duolingo lesson. (Swedish and Spanish) Take a shower... Mouth care

Took out recycling. Did stretches. Called and disputed the remaining 11 fraudulent charges. It will take up to 10 business days to credit my account because they're behind. I've put that on my calendar to check on.
Tighten the slotted screws and use ladder to get to remaining Phillips-head screws. Shower and get dressed.
