Welcome to July! 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! |

Good morning mouseanne! Thank you for starting the July thread! Ta-da's: Got up and checked on chickens. Went "plogging" for about 40 minutes. (https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/origin-and-meaning-of-plogging) Made and ate a healthy breakfast To-do: CLA is having a declutterthon over the next 4 days starting a noon eastern time. I am currently logged into the morning meditation meeting. Sort through some of the trash that has been picked up. (I had separated the recyclables out, but DH seems to have combined them... Pick a place to focus on decluttering today. and then start. I would really like to get one small area of my home clutter free over the next 4 days. Later: I realized yesterday that I am low on chicken feed, so I need to go out today or Monday to get more. |

Hi goldenthreads! Yay for getting some weeding done! I pulled a few myself. ta-da's: I've been working on decluttering in a few different places, The bathroom, the laundry room, and the basement. Tossed several items and started to fill a box of stuff to donate. Just started a load of laundry and the washing machine. Made a list of stuff I need (detergent for dishes and laundry, kitchen trash bags, and chicken feed.) I will probably go out later this afternoon. to-do: Continue to listen to CLA declutterthon. Continue with dishes and laundry. Continue decluttering. Check water heater. we usually have the thermostat set at a fairly low temperature. When I showered a couple of days ago, the water seemed hotter than usual. I washed my hands later and the water felt almost scalding hot. I shut the water heater down. I just put it back on for the laundry and dishes, but I want to keep an eye on things so it doesn't get too hot again. (I have had to change the thermostat on our previous water heater, and I am guessing I'll need to do that again. |

 goldenthreads, she only joins me after I wake up. She's a very considerate kitty. I made it out to the porch about 8:00 am 2:45, came in to rest. I am not done potting plants. I have no idea why it takes me so long. I do know I waffle on decisions, make one, then forget what I was going to do. Bindweed was climbing up the twine for morning glories. Pulled as much as i saw, missed a bit. The morning glories failed last year. It was really hot, and their pot wasn't big enough to hold enough water. I planted some, yes, july 1 is really late, o, well. I also braided a cord so a hanging pot wasnt hanging so high. |

Hi again mouseanne, and goldenthreadsta-da's: I've been much more productive today than usual. I tossed a few things and boxed up some things to donate. I did some laundry and dishes, put the dishes away. Looked at water heater, took covers over thermostat/heating elements. This unit has 2 thermostats and they are both set to 120F, but the water is much hotter, so I think one of the thermostats has failed, but which one? My dad gave me some ideas on how to check. (He has talked me through this type of thing before.) The water heater is currently turned off at the circuit breaker. Some food prep to-do: Brush my teeth Go out to store to get stuff I need Food prep for tomorrow? (It could wait until morning) |
