Hello TT--I wholeheartedly agree, you should be kind to yourself! Even though I don't know what you're referring to, you do deserve kindness!
And wow, I'm not surprised you're sweating--look at your "done" list.
I had my long phone call, took the dog out again, and looked for some things that my shopping friend wants to buy online. She needs to check them out for herself before I actually order them for her, but she has such an aversion to the computer.
I'm now going to plant some seeds.

I planted some of each of the four seeds for this week--salvia, rudbeckia, common rue and purpletop vervain. The last two are new plants to me, so who knows if they will grow.
Now I'm eating dinner.

Diane I hope your dog is fine and nothing pops up that she needs to be tested for! TwinkleToes you got so much done!!! it’s really amazing especially with not much sleep my day wasn’t quite as productive as I planned… I did work on paperwork for quite a bit but I still have the bulk of it left to do and I really hope to do that tonight -if not tonight, tomorrow- it will be done this weekend! I only say “if not tonight” because lately I’ve been falling asleep in the evening. I did some laundry and folded and put away two loads -third is in dryer. I cleaned the bathroom mirror and sink and part of the floor I did the litter I took a puppy for 1.5 hour walk in the park -it was a strenuous walk because of the snowfall but she was so happy that some people stopped to watch her joyfully play in the snow! it’s a sight to see -she leaps, she jumps, she runs, she nose dives, she flips over /she is just joy!!! (She has a long leash that allows these maneuvers.) our walk was great -it wasn’t crowded at all even though the sun was shining and the sky was a deep blue that we rarely see here. I started to get quite cold though and I’m still warming up; it was only about 32° And getting colder as neared sunset I just cooked myself a nice dinner and got my veggies in. Did the dishes. So glad to be warm! I just picked up several pieces of DD’s bedroom area rug. Who is the culprit? who else but puppy. |

Bree, we are on the same wavelength. When I read about and pictured puppy jumping all around I thought "I'm sure she just has a long leash, bree would never let her off the leash and risk her running off!" And then I read your explanation! 
Just about time to take the dog out and get ready for bed--and turn the clocks back! I'm amazed I remembered!
Good night everyone!
Diane

Diane if I let puppy off leash I think she'd run after a squirrel, and I'd lose her!! but this long leash is great, she is so happy to leap and jump.
So I did not fall asleep! So, I am looking for a file for important financial project. I KNOW I saved it; I can picture it! but where did I put it. As I looked for it, I realized again what a mess my papers are in. It is not organized chaos; it is chaotic organization!! but somewhere is the file that I need. I am going to try to start project w/out it. I am so fed up with myself. I truly lack the organization gene. But I know I can learn it, the very fact that I have a file (albeit missing) is proof that organization can be learned.
A sad memory. About 15 years ago at my job, we moved to a new office building. I watched one of my staff move in her space. I was a manager, not a newbie. This person allocated a drawer for personal items. She had paper towels, napkins, cleaning wipes, plastic silverware, paper plates, lotion, a mirror -- a bunch of personal stuff that she organized neatly in a file drawer. All the supplies to help make a work day run smoothly at your fingertips. I had no idea!! I watched and learned and have a messy drawer at my job...live and learn. I am just not intuitive that way'

I did work on the dining room last night. Felt proud because I did NOT feel like it, but did it anyway.
I have to suffer through a baby shower today. I wouldn’t go at all, but my MIL,needs a ride.ugh. This means dehoarding my car. A lot of it is contained in big totes and bags, so it won’t take as long as previous dehoarding.
To do:
Take Meds
Pull up hair in band
Gather rags and bags
Empty front seat
Empty back seat
Empty cargo area
Change clothes and find quarters
Drive to car wash place
Vacuum out car
Go through car wash
Go to dollar general for diapers and wipes for shower gift
Drive home
Shower
Brush teeth, etc.
Style hair
Makeup
Get dressed
Fill tea container
Pack everything up that I am taking
Get MIL
Drive to the place
Make it through the baby shower without wanting to gouge out my eyes with a spark because my sister in law will make it all about her and not the mom to be
Take MIL home
Drive home
Change clothes
TAKE A NAP

I took three bags of trash out of my vehicle. Gross. And almost everything I took out is now sitting in my sitting room. 😩😩😩. I will have to make myself sort and put away that stuff this week. I did put two bags worth of stuff actually away where it belonged as I brought it in.

Good morning! I got good sleep last night, mainly because I purposely did not change my bedside clock, I'm going to change the alarm over a couple of days so that it doesn't wake me up an hour earlier on one day. I got a good 7.5 hours sleep last night!
Yes, TT, I did mean to say forward--over the years I would sometimes forget to actually do it, but I do always remember the "spring forward, fall back" saying so when I do remember to do it, I move them the right way. But, it's nice to not have to worry about getting up for work on Sunday any longer, that was always hard on DST days!
I love rudbeckia!
It's a good pollinator plant, I've had only one plant in the yard each of the past two years but since most of my plants are tall, the shorter yellow flowers really stood out against the green stalks of the plants around them so I would like more of them this year. I've never grown them inside though so I don't know how it'll go.
When I took the dog out this morning there was an inch of very wet, slushy snow on the lawns. I don't think it'll stick around for very long.

I planted 3 lettuce seeds this week and they are up already. Today i planted another 5. That should be it for a while. We are cutting loose leaves off of mainly 1 plant but need to cut the 2nd one too as its getting about 7 inches high. Tomatoes are sturdy and i took off a couple of shoots this morning.
One load of laundry done
dishwasher emptied and away
Not able to do lists right now. Just going bit by bit day by day.
