Thanks catcats--talking to her really made me feel better--I hadn't heard from her for several days so I was imagining all kinds of bad things happening.
I worked for a while in the reading room, but I also took a couple of reading breaks and watched some tv. Now I'm finishing up dinner and will only be up here for another half hour. I'm hoping for another good night tonight.
Good night everyone, see you in the morning!
Diane

Great news about your shopping friend, Diane!
Topicals were a huge help with my back today. DD and I got some clothes for donation and got a few more bags of trash bagged. The 2 large trash cans are full and ready for pick-up on Monday.
Lots of storms were moving thru and the computer has been down for much of the day. Dealing with the automated system at Comcast of course was very frustrating. They are still telling me I need an upgrade on the cable box. That was taken care of over a month ago.
Maybe a little more puttering then time for bed. I wish I could fall asleep as easily as this little guy.

hey everypony!
I got some more shelves cleared out, some more dishes washed, and more things put back.
I also brought peaches to my folks and went for a walk with my mom. bought a thermawrap and cookies. my back has been sore this week. a dull ache but its got me limping around and crabby.
DVD overdid something, so I made a quick dinner when he got home and tucked him in bed.
I would like to do a little more tonight. need to find another series to watch/listen to. my goal is to put enough away that I can move the microwave and see how that configuration works. I keep finding pretty things and long for some display cabinets!
~~~
I filled all but one cabinet, moved the microwave, wiped the counter. still soooo many dishes that need a home! I might have to go shopping tomorrow. ack.
good night everypony, see you tomorrow.

things seem a little less overwhelming this weekend, , the results of a bunch of random PEEP is actually showing results, . The backroom is looking closest to what it should be, so if i do more in there today there may be some positive results
My first target will be to move some tools out of there to where they belong... The cobwebs and dust need to go as well as more PEEP from there..The last job would be to finally put down a thick carpet in the middle to keep my feet warm (I'm not expecting that to be completed today) ➡ Yep getting ready for winter while hiding from late summer heat
😊 As I uncovered the tape player last night, the fist "chore" is cheered up by listening to the old music tapes 😊

Hi everybody, jumping in here and claiming read-back amnesty. I rested yesterday and have some weekly cleaning, life admin and self care tasks to tackle today.
Laundry is going, I will soon start the second load. Bed is stripped. Towels have been changed. Bathroom cleaning has been started.
Next: breakfast, enter calendar events and also enter the relevant to dos to my master to do list, order ANC headphones. After that I will need to shower and get ready, then mani/pedi, then grocery store.

Second load of laundry is going, headphones are ordered and paid for, and next I'll eat a very late breakfast.

I think I can soon switch laundry again. I folded and put away all air dried laundry, and hung the first load up to dry. I changed bed linen. Ate breakfast. And have been slowly putting things where they belong. Oh, and I reorganized my underwear basket, and threw away a pair of shoes, a bra, and will put one t-shirt in donation pile after I have washed/dried it.
When the current load of laundry is done, I will take a shower and make myself presentable, and do my mani and pedi.

I started updating my calendar and adding the respective project categories to my master to do list. I will do that task all the way through before taking a shower, but will pause for a moment to write my update here, and switch laundry, and hang the second lods to air dry.¨
So: some laundry related tasks, some organizing tasks next.

Oopsiedaisies, I got sidetracked and did a quick wardrobe decluttering and tidying. More stuff to donation and to trash. Third load of laundry is almost done. Bathroom weekly cleaning has been progressing, as I cleaned the mirrors and did some re-organizing in there.
Next: finish those calendar events/master to do list related tasks. Shower. Eat. Soak dishes. Mani and pedi...
I am moving grocery shopping for tomorrow, it makes more sense on Monday as they'll have freshly baked break and fresh veggies.

![]() Thunder and showers now, the weather finally broke, and i brought the dryer in just in time...though managed to knock my bonce running to close the bedroom window to keep the rain out (perhaps it knocked some sense into me😂🙄) Anyway, more washing up cleared,, laundry put away,, PEEPd more from back room, even got the duster to the ceiling and damp dusted half the plate-rack that goes all the way round the top of the wall (one of those "quaint" oldie worldie features that were standard in suburban 1980's houses) Next➡ try to get to the rest of the ceiling, and i might even be able to vacuum part of the floor (that'll confuse the neighbours, they don't get to hear my noisy hoover very often.)

Not sure why I resisted it, but I finally managed to get that calendar/master list stuff done.
It's starting to get clear I will probably not have time for everything I want to do, so I need to take a second to re-adjust my plans.
Washing machine is just chiming that it's done, so I will switch laundry, , put dishes soaking, recoup, and come back here to post my next steps when these are done.

Hello to OnTheMend and decade! It kind of makes me feel good that while I'm sleeping, our members on the other side of the Atlantic are busy as bees! Although I guess that means it's now my turn and you guys get to sleep soon.
The dog did have a long (over an hour) panting session after getting into bed--but after that she settled down and went to sleep. I get anxious myself when she does that for so long so I didn't fall asleep until one. I probably got 6 hours sleep total though, since I slept til 7. At least she didn't have to go out in the middle of the night.
It was another chilly night but the high today is near 80 so it will warm up quickly. I need to get some things done today because tomorrow I have my routine doctor visit and because it's in the middle of the day I know nothing will get done. After today it's cool the rest of the week so Tuesday will be the library and Wednesday I'm going to have to mow the lawns.
TO DO:
10 minutes on paper Find the right screwdriver and tighten upstairs back door handles and upstairs toilet seat Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails
