Welcome to June! The guidelines for WIT are simple: - Do some little thing to make your house less squalorous. ☝️ - Do one more little thing. - Do another little thing. - Once you have 3 things done, post them here! - Post the next 3 things you plan on doing. - Go forth and conquer, return and post again. - You aren't required to do the 3 things you had planned on -- just get any 3 things done and then post proudly. Remember - if you are tired or sick or injured or depressed or overwhelmed, or just need to break your tasks down into something manageable, you are in the right place! If the next 15 minutes consists of: - Looked at hopeless living room and felt like crying 😢 - Decided you could take empty pop can to kitchen - Put away book 📚 - Picked up fast food wrappers on coffee table and put them in trash  . . . YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THREE-DOM !!! You could post: Ta-Da's - Took pop can to kitchen - Put away phone book - Threw away McDonald's wrappers Then your To-Do's: - Bring plates and glasses to kitchen - Put dirty socks in hamper - Bring folded towels to linen closet and put away. Whether you do those 3 to-do's, or something completely different, once you've gotten 3, come back and post. Remember to take breaks and drink water. Drinking water counts as a Ta-da! If you can notice what the person before you did, it might cheer them up to hear from you. Go forth, have fun, and be generous to yourself with the Ta-das. YOU DESERVE THEM! |

Hi WITers! I'm back! I was in Costa Rica in late May (had a wonderful time), and have been home for a week, but have been busy with work and recovering from traveler's diarrhea.
ta-da's:
I'm awake! and started the thread, that's about it.
to-do:
Eat a healthy breakfast
Finish unpacking, put suitcase and backpack away.
Pay bills, check bank account balances, etc.
I need to do some work on the chicken coop
Plumbing repair? (This will require a trip out for supplies.)
Laundry, create a box/bag of clothing items to donate

Hi goldenthreads, Yay for getting dishes done! I have a cousin that owns ocean front property in Costa Rica. It was amazing! This is the view from his place:  ta-da's: Made a healthy breakfast, ate it, currently sipping on tea. Moved dishes into the dishwasher Called into CLA meeting I haven't done this in several weeks. Fed the chickens and the cat. Looked online for supplies I need for plumbing repair. to-do: Pay bills... check account balances Add more dishes the dishwasher and start it. See if DH has any dirty laundry. I will be doing a load later. Clean the bathrooms Put luggage away Water plants We have had extremely dry conditions here the past 4-5 weeks, with virtually no rain in the forecast (other than a slight chance of rain this afternoon). We are on a well, and need to use water sparingly when it is this dry. |

Rain stopped. Hi, razy. It's been chilly enough here that your fire is sounding really good to me. Did 35 minutes of weeding. Perfect weather for weeding: cloudy, cool, very damp soil. Started a load of wash, including new clothes. Went for a walk. Put away clothing from The Chair (stash from the dryer). Make bed with clean linens. Review hard copy.
