5 minutes started to create work to do list
Went out onto porch and sorted wet beach clothes (there is a stinky sun top out there that I left in the car while it wet by mistake...)
Found more beach clothes in room
Started load of wash (decided to leave out the stinky top and will do separately)
Finished and sent work email to KM
TO DO
5 minutes - read SL email and find spreadsheet - ugh - there's an issue that I wasn't expecting and I hope I didn't make a big mistake
5 minutes tidy bedroom
Can only focus on a list of two for this moment!

Hello WITers! Great news about your new commute Ally and I like your new avatar. How did you create it? I created the avatar at face.co/ Be careful not to click any of the places on the page that have the big letters asking you to download. Everything you need to do is in a rectangle that looks sort of like this:  I like this one better than some of the other avatar creators I have found. I keep getting side-tracked today too. ta-da: Took a few handfuls/stacks of paper from spare bedroom and sorted through it. Shredded or tossed most of it. Put laundry away I picked some tomatoes from the garden. A couple went to the chickens, and I ate the rest. (They are all cherry/grape varieties, so not huge amounts) Put the mail into the recycling bin to-do: Continue decluttering Take uneaten cat food out to the chickens. They love it! The cat has become such a finicky eater, and is very good at tricking DH that she is starving to death, and then won't eat the food. Check on food prep for work the next 2 days. I'm only working half a shift tomorrow, but will work 10 hours on Friday (On my work days, I leave about 6:00 AM and get home about 6:30 PM.) I eat a few snacks or small meals during that time.

Argh - getting thrown off track for various reasons and feel frustrated. Have a phone call in about 45 minutes, so hope to get some things done in the meantime.

Wrote and sent personal email (about a very expensive house project) that I've been avoiding
Ok - I just got up and finished dealing with the laundry

Hi, Ally. Great news about the commute and about being in demand! Enjoy your remaining time at the beach, seahorse!  Put out last bin this morning. Started dishes soaking. Checked my COVID-19 tests to see if their extended expiration dates are good. Two packages were not, so I chucked them.  So many choices. The top priority ones are the least attractive.  Let's see what I can do. |

Ally It's nearly 90° here, but the humidity is less than 20%. Tolerable, but hardly my favorite. I have a new policy for myself. During the day, I am now keeping my cell phone on the one pristine kitchen counter after having lost it this morning for about 40 minutes. It really has to stop its nomadic ways. Washed dishes. Put away dishes. PUPA 5 minutes. Mow in back. Get dressed. Go grocery shopping for weekend food.
