So the party went very well but it threw off my normal weekend schedule, which wouldn't be a big deal but I'm going away for work for a few days on Wednesday so in theory I'm still busy. In reality I'm just lying on the couch! Time to focus Work Dr's appointment A little bit of grocery shopping Fed chickens Lit the fire Finished making tomato and veggie soup for dinner Kitchening- always Kitchening! Make list for packing/start packing Start some vacuuming

Hello All!
I woke up early this morning, with plans to get many things accomplished, but I ran out of steam rather quickly. This week I work Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. I will be leaving on vacation very early Saturday morning, and the current plan is for me to sleep at my daughter's house Friday night, so everything has to be packed and ready to go by Thursday afternoon/evening. I need to get some things done before I go as far as some garden and chicken maintenance/care. Originally I was going to get my oil changed today (it's been due for a month) but now I'm not so sure I had started some projects with stuff from the shed a few days ago, and think I should work on that for a while today. Preferably in the morning. There are a lot of bees and wasps flying around that area and they are more active when it gets warmer in the afternoons.
ta-da's: Moved laundry from washer to dryer and then put some of it away Ate a snack and took my vitamins Fed the cat.
to-do: Check on chickens. They need fresh water and maybe their food topped off. Take care of one of the boxes from the shed at least start it. It's cool out there now, so maybe the bugs won't be too bad Find something healthy to eat... maybe sip on some tea ETA: I need to do the dishes as well

ta-da's: Wrapped my winter tires in plastic bags. I need something better, but this will work in the meantime Moved a box of water/rodent damaged books to near the place where DH burns things. Fed and watered chicks. They eat and drink a lot! I'm going to have to buy another bag of food before I leave on vacation. Added some dishes to the dishwasher Eating some blueberries with chia seeds and yogurt
to-do: Prepare meals for work days this week Spend some time going through another box from the shed. This one is mostly Christmas stuff. (It has water and mouse damage, but there are a few things that can be salvaged. I'm a little angry at DH for putting these out there. There are some old unique ornaments from the 1950's and some keepsake ornaments that my sister bought for my daughter many years ago. CLA meeting

Hello, all. Sounds like today holds extra challenges for some of us. @ally, I once cleared a shed for my mom (who also struggled with clutter). Very challenging and emotional. Lots of loss. Thinking of you and wishing you fortitude as you make your way through. ta-da: walked dog fed dog set up fridge calendar for the week to do: spend 10 minutes clearing kitchen table spend 10 minutes clearing kitchen bench spend 10 minutes eliminating what i can from kitchen counters Good luck, all!

Hello joyfrau and yrwelcomeTa-da's: Finished going through the box of stuff from the shed. Filled a large trash bag with stuff to be tossed, saved a small grocery sack of stuff. (A few more things may get tossed eventually, but I think I did alright.) I knew that stuff from DH's parent's house was in this box, but didn't realize until today that it had some stuff that was mine/ my daughter's. Emptied the dishwasher Took out the veggie scraps to the compost bin. did a little weeding while I was out there. Did a bit of food prep for this week's meals. To-do: I still need to work out some stuff for the chicken coop and the garden before Thursday afternoon. More food prep Shower and mouth care. I have completely fallen off the wagon with flossing, etc. I had been doing so well.

@ally: I don't know if I'm successfully tagging you or not, but share sympathy about a shed-clearing experience. Pulling for you! beesnest: hoping you can get curtains up soon ta-da: got winter gear out of entryway closet and down to lower level and mostly in the closet down there swept entry mopped entry to do: gather garbage and take out clean upstairs bathroom clean downstairs bathroom And I think that will be my goal of nine WITs in a day. Good luck to all on your remaining endeavors for now.

For today no goals I did take the phone appointment. Should have been an email to confirm meds but you can't bill medicare for that- or at least not as much. Made my appt for transportation. But I am going to call back tomorrow and make sure I gave the right time. I have to be there at 1 not be picked up at 1. I wish they sent a confirming email so I have a written record.
Went to the Produce Market Bought strawberries asparagus and kale. Not sure how to cook the kale.
did some dishes. Made coffee and spilled coffee. Again Watched too much tv

I set my produce down last night and forgot about it. I put it in the fridge this morning. Strawberries are good. I woke up very early and thought it was late. So groggy.
Cleaned enough space to put airfryer in the corner. I ruined the granite by my stove from grease. I should look into a sealer before I use it.
am 6am! washed face, brushed teeth made breakfast. Boiled the last of the eggs in one pack. Fresh ones from this week will be used later. to do unpack airfryer boxes out of dining room for tomorrow recycle make phone call when office hours open. I guess it is after 9 now so-do it! update.. I called and the time for pickup was correct so my little gerbil in my head can calm down now.
