seahorse, I have mornings like that too. I hope you can get moving soon, or just rest, it that's what your body needs. Confession... I just spent some time playing a few games on my phone that I play daily. ta-da: Too fresh water in a clean waterer out to the chickens. The little rascals stole the "S" hook that it had been hanging from... I don't see where it is. Hopefully no one swallowed it Partially emptied the dishwasher. I'm going to allow some of it to air-dry before I put it away. Ate a piece of cheese to-do: Continue to declutter, maybe play the dice game for a while? CLA meeting is in 30 minutes.

TA DA 10 minutes tedious work tasks Couldn't deal with kitty stuff yet, so did 7 minutes of kitchening instead Came upstairs to sit down and decided that I could at least deal with food and water replenishing, so did that. A creepy black spider crawled onto my hand and then was running across the floor towards my bed when I picked up the kitty food bag...yikes! I was able to step on it before it got under the bed. Now I'm shaken up! I really don't like spiders at all.
TO DO 10 minutes work task FVG - make a list of what needs to be done Deal with kitty pan #1 Decide if I should change the litter in pan #2?

Good morning mouseanne and bummer about chiro appt! Thankfully you heard the vm before leaving. Ally - I can relate to the phone games - we all a need a diversion sometimes! TA DA 10 minutes work task FVG - make a list of what needs to be done - this was helpful to determine what I need and to gather info and now it's all on one place and I can take next steps Deal with kitty pan #1 Decide if I should change the litter in pan #2? Yes - decided to empty the pan and it's now soaking in the tub. Also started to clean up some stray kitty pee where she partially missed the pan - I didn't see it earlier and I hope it doesn't stink forever (I can't smell anything, but I'm probably used to it!) TO DO 10 minutes work project KBU Take used kitty litter bag downstairs and add to trash 5 minutes kitchening 5 minutes trash/recycling collecting

ta-da: Cut a slice of watermelon and ate some Did some tidying up in the downstairs bathroom Called into CLA meeting. DD sent a message about bed for DH. I had sort-of forgotten that we had agreed to replace his bed, mattress, and bedding for his birthday next month. His current mattress is disintegrating. We are thinking that we want to downsize from a king to a queen size bed. I saw a headboard on Facebook marketplace that looks promising. I have to figure this out!
to-do: Continue to listen to CLA meeting Get mail Work on decluttering somewhere. Will think about how we will manage to prepare for new bed for DH. There is a bed frame in the house we could use, but I need to be able to access it.

Debate tossing glass vanilla bean tube. Don't, stand it back in spice corner empty soaker thingy, rinse & hang previously sour dish cloth, slide soaker bits out of way for upcoming basement trip Go to put away alum can, in miss thang's failed acrobatic practice the other day, when she fell off the 1/2" wide basement stair wall, down into the basement stairwell, on the way, she tore down the alum can bag. Hang a new one, put the can in it, you have a trip to the dungeon later, looking down, you'll retrieve her mess later Fold plastic grocery bags, put in liv room can & in bath cubpoard Open can of beets, drain, put in jar of sweet pickle juice, into fridge, that's 2 things off counter Drain toilet, pour in cleanser Go thru possible containers gathered for dabric dyes & paints, one works, 4 dont Pull paint & dyes supplies into same vicinity discover your blasted thief has taken the soda ash, and the XL gloves you bought, which cannot be purchaed in this small town, and you were going to dye fabric today.

mouseanne, I'm sorry about the avalanche that happened in your kitchen. and your missing gloves and soda ash. I'm experimenting with making vanilla in larger quantities. We'll see how it goes. ta-da: Still listening to online CLA meeting Ate some lunch... Put more things from the dishwasher away. Found the missing S-hook in the chicken coop. There was a hen in the nesting box... maybe they are getting the idea of where I want them to lay their eggs? Still found one egg in the "wrong" spot. to-do: Continue to declutter, Laundry More Dice game?

Hi razy... How many hens do you have currently? I had to start over this spring, and have 8 that are about 4 months old. Two of them have started laying. I haven't been as productive as I had hoped today, but at least I got a few things done. ta-da's: Repaired a pair of pants that has been sitting by my sewing machine for weeks. Did a load of laundry and put most of it away. Did a bit of tidying up in the downstairs bathroom. There is still much to do. Found a used queen size headboard for DH's bed, will be picking it up on Monday. to-do: I'm not sure how much more I'll get done, but Get something to eat, Brush and floss
