Hi yrwelcome and goldenthreads.  You both have such nice morning routines! I was going through some things that had been boxed up for years. I dumped one of the boxes out onto the sofa, and thought at first that there was a bunch of mouse poop mixed in, which freaked me out a bit, but then I realized it was thistle bird seeds.  I have a bunch more stuff to go out with the trash on Thursday. to-do: I need to shower, floss and brush get ready for bed and for work tomorrow. (and do my Duolingo lesson). |

That's funny that you like my "routine," Ally. I do what I do in the morning because that's the easy, brainless stuff I can handle and that I hope will build a little momentum. I'm glad it was only seeds you dumped out! yrwelcome We don't have rocks in the soil at this house, but, boy, do I know clay. Good thing you work out at the gym! Went for a walk, the longest I've done in a while. It was encouraging to realize that all my brisk little walks actually have been conditioning me, so hurray for persistent baby steps. Did stretches. Put out bins for collection.

Hi Goldenthreads and Ally,
Taking baby steps after a really tough couple of days (well, a really tough year, actually):
TA DA:
Ate some left over pad thai for dinner (lately I've been working to the point that I forget to eat, or certainly eat in a healthy manner)
Brought in the mail
Hung up one shirt
TO DO:
Start one horrifically over due work task
Watch some Hoarders to inspire me to de-hoard
Go through one box of baby clothes and bin/bag outgrown ones for donation

TA DA:
Started one horrifically over due work task.
(Watch some Hoarders to inspire me to de-hoard -- this doesn't deserve a TA DA)
Hung up a few more tops.
Took out old veggies outside to put in composter.
TO DO:
Finish the horrifically over due work task tomorrow.
Reflect on how much less time it would take to do said task rather than fret about it for weeks.
Go through one box of baby clothes and bin/bag outgrown ones for donation.

My mind is a sieve.
I forgot to report the biggest TA DA:
Completing another work task that I thought was done but wasn't.
TO DO:
I really need to take better notes as to what is done, what needs to be done.
(I realize I do all this stuff, then completely forget I did said stuff. I'm tired of and overwhelmed by the complexity of my job.)

ClimbingPyramids, don't feel bad about forgetting things. I'm sure we all do. I know sometimes I have been busy working on varied tasks for a hour or two, and when I come back to post here, I have to go back and review what I typed last time, and that helps me remember, and then often I realize that my ta-da's are completely different than my to-do's had been. Ta-da's: Took 4 bags of trash out for pick up Did a bit of plogging (Picking up roadside trash while jogging or walking.) Took photos of where TV is dumped by the side of the road so I could better report it to the DOT adopt-a-highway. Picked some greens and made an veggie scramble. Sipping on some tea. To-do: I realized that I forgot to take some boxes out for trash pick up. I'll do this sometime today... actually, I think our trash pick-up is delayed until tomorrow. More decluttering. Last week, I started in the bathroom and laundry room, but then other areas started standing out to me, stuff that I knew I could get rid of quickly without decision fatigue setting in. I'm just going to start where ever I feel inspired to start. Clean junk out of my car? I need to set up an inspection on my car for sometime this month. Water houseplants?

Thank you for the kind words, Ally!
I think I'm more concerned than feel bad. Also angry -- I think I'm working "harder" than "smarter". I need to receive more guidance from my DH who seems to do so far at the same job (although he is in a different department that seems to have more reasonable expectations).
Also, I really appreciate your ta-da of plogging! I do this on beaches. Why don't more people do this? The world would be a better place for such a do-able thoughtful action.
TA DA:
Up early-ish, despite staying up too late (again!)
Morning meds and a bit of breakfast
Put some mail in the shred and recycle bags
TO DO:
PUPA 10 minutes in bedroom
Move two Kohl's packages from mudroom to upstairs (then take pix of broken window up there and send to a contractor)
Move stroller from car to mudroom
(will work on sorting baby clothes later when have more time)
