Good morning all!
I ended up watching parts of an online genealogy conference on Thursday afternoon, and much of Saturday. I ended up working on my DNA match list yesterday. I like solving puzzles. I learned a few years ago that my great-grandfather was born to an unwed teenaged mother, working as a maid, in Sweden, in 1859. About 6 or 7 years ago I decided I would try to figure out who his father was using DNA. It took me a few years, but I figured it out. The young man got my 2nd great-grandmother pregnant, and then a few years later got married and moved to America, where he ended up fathering at least 16 kids through 2 marriages. (Lots of descendants, so several DNA matches.) Yesterday, I was looking at a tree from another DNA match, and I followed the tree back to another young woman who was working for the same family when she became pregnant. Needless to say, most of my day disappeared. Swedish records are very thorough. It's not like there is a census every 10 years. The church followed and recorded their every move, and this woman moved a lot, showing up in many records. Anyway, I need to put that aside for today and get some stuff accomplished.
Anyway, Back to work:
Ta-da's:
Made and ate breakfast
Fed the cat, and cleaned up some hairballs. (The cat is a long haired cat and these are part of life, I think.)
Loaded the dishwasher
To-do:
Water the house plants
Scrub the toilets and the sinks
Declutter 10 items from some area, Laundry room dining area, Living room... We will see.
Later:
Meals for this week at work
Go for a walk. (I'm getting bloodwork tomorrow, and I really want it to be good. Last year my cholesterol and glucose were both high.)
Read BIT book, work on content for the threads here on SOS

Hi, joyinvirginia! Ally One of my errands today is to sit in a quiet place at the library and do some BIT homework. I get distracted at home. Going to the library to work on procrastinated things is something I used to do, and I want to put that back in my tool kit. I want to participate in the BIT threads that you and peaceseeker are so generously running. Started dishes soaking. Made bed and had meds. PUPA 5 minutes. Clean out purse. Get dressed.
