Well... had a meeting rescheduled, and then got in bed. Did not get up for three hours, lost the time on my phone. Sad. I still have 50 minutes before the meeting, so I can do a few things! Ta da - - Rushed from my father's house on the peninsula to the city to make 11am meeting, which was cancelled. But I got myself here, anyway. - Carried main things I needed inside inside - Looked at response from old insurance — reimbursement check was indeed sent to my old address, but they will resend to my current one - Looked into a new potential local internet service provider - won't work out for me as I rent and it seems they don't work with apartment renters. To do - - Take some ibuprofen, as my head is really hurting. Maybe some supplements too. - Drink water with collagen - Make bed And I'll go from there. Overwhelmed by starting, so I'll do these little things.

Vacuumed cobwebs in the garage Found more clothes i don't wear and probably won't ever they should not have been in the keeping case but it was easier than the donation A few dishes after the last meal.
Struggling to keep going but i hope to do another 3 decluttering things tonight.

You will tackle the dishes mouseanne- you are on the way! Once you get the odd pan out of the way the rest will follow. Hooray for stove. Today I did laundry and bathroom Changed the sheets Cleaned toilet Cleaned sink and scrubbed faucet foiled again Moved bedside table into bathroom-spilled coffee cleaned up that mess Vacuum light went red. Emptied container, still red. Took out filters and washed them can't continue until they dry. Put new filters on amazon order

Ta da - - Brushed hair, washed hands - Stripped bed, put everything in wash. Discovered that the mattress protector had degraded and was no longer working, mattress is stained. Oy vey. Will have to work on the mattress with Folex stain remover and vaccuum the degraded flakes of mattress protector (blech) off once I bring my vaccuum home from my dad's. The flaky bits are all over my hands and the bed. This is a good reminder that I should talk to my dad about getting his own vaccuum. I have lugged mine up there so many times to clean their things, and I end up leaving it there sometimes because with my other bags it's a hassle. - Emptied dishwasher, filled with dirty dishes, started - Lit some incense
To do - - Do few dishes that couldn't be put in dishwasher, wipe down counters - I'm feeling SO overwhelmed by the living room space. So I will just go through some bags... at least two to start, then I'll check in here.

So disappointed in myself right now. Please don't. You're doing what you can do when you can do it. We plan. Sometimes we follow through. Sometimes we ignore the plan, and (at least I do) "waste" our time. Resting/ignoring/recuperating...maybe that's what we needed to do. For our head space. All I can do is get going with things. You go, birdie-girl!

Good afternoon, guys and dolls! quietbird, you're doing a great job with that mattress pad and the dishwasher rotation. Some days it feels like progress isn't being made, and I hate when those days come in a row. Last night/this morning I slept in the guestroom with my clothes on because I plugged away at the home-office cleaning until I was dizzy and my own bed was covered with stacks of books and office supplies. When I woke up, I discovered maintenance was being done on waterlines. So help me, squalorees, I am going to wear pijamas to my OWN bed tonight! TA-DAH 1. Took out garbage and recycling - both bins amazingly empty 2. Picked up sticks and windblown things from lawn 3. Emptied and put away suitcase and bag 4. SHOWERED! 5. Dressed 6. Put dirty clothes and towel in laundry TO DO 1. Sort the books that I found in yet another box 2. Set donation box and other sorting containers in the space I cleared 3. Put on socks and sneakers. I don't usually wear shoes indoors, but I can't take another toe-stubbing

@ally could you sleep in the back of your car? I am looking for a smallish car I can still sleep in. Thxs. Ally just wanted you to see this. It's a Toyota Prius. Lots of people camp in them. There is a whole Facebook group for people who camp in their Priuses. Mine gets about 50-52 mpg. Here's a video of someone who camps in their Prius.
