Not sleeping time quite yet here in Europe, Diane, it's 6 PM right now, and I still hope to accomplish several things! Both self care and house work related!
Hope you'll have a good day!
My dishes are now soaking, thankfully there is not a lot. Final load of laundry (for today) is now going. I spot treated few stains. Removed some items from my list of things I hope to achieve today. I have also continued putting away items in all rooms little by little.
Next: Pilates. Wash dishes (with rubber gloves on).

OnTheMend, I go to bed really early, so by 6pm I would only have about 2 hours before I had to take the dog out and start getting ready! I know most people stay up a lot longer than that. You got a lot done today!
Next:
Call decluttering client Wash some dishes Go through mail and put bills on calendar Delete 50 emails

Oops, didn't stick to the tasks I mentioned in my second to last post here, but I have been sticking with my general list I posted in my blog. I know I won't get everything done, it's starting to get late, but I still want to do these things: vacuum clean, wash dishes, and mani/pedi.
I washed bathroom floor, took shower, hung up the last load of laundry, and exfoliated my feet, plus I styled my curls post-wash, and did my evening skin care.
Now I'll sit a while and take a breather, then will wash dishes, it should not take very long. I need to vacuum clean before 10 PM.

Dishes done, kitchen counters wiped, and I still have 30 minutes to vacuum clean before the quiet time starts at 10 PM. Then I still have mani/pedi to do. I am going for a easiest and quickest option, so tinted, transparent nail care product. It dries very fast.

OnTheMend, do most of the people in your building abide by the "quite time" rule? I just can't imagine that working here! 
I stopped for lunch, and did a little reading. This day is going by so fast!
Next:
10 minutes PEEPing 10 minutes on plant research Check bank site to see if glitch from yesterday is gone Delete 10 hard emails

Yes they do, although there is no "police" to see that everyone follows the rule, it is about respecting your neighbours. Sometimes you can hear a washing machine cycle going a bit longer than that, and it is fine to, say, take a shower after 10 PM, so you don't need to be 100% quiet. But vacuuming is something that might bother neighbours, so I always try to do it before 10.
I now gave every room a quick vacuuming, and now all I have left if manicure and pedicure, very simple ones. I'll be watching youtube videos and relaxing while I'm painting my nails, and then relax a bit before bed.
Good night everyone, and thanks for the keeping me company!

thanks, reve! on your history-making morning. Good morning Diane, sorry to hear the pup had an anxious hour.
I woke up in the middle of the night ruminating, and then ate a package of cookies. Spent some time this morning talking to DVD about it, so I feel better now. It all started with the latest sign from a conspiracy-theory neighbor. After ignoring him for a year, I think he crossed the line from free speech to hate speech yesterday, and I feel moved to address it.
back is still sore I am not sure what is going on. Took some Curamin and I think that is easing it somewhat.
DONE: did face got dressed took meds found out about kitchen circuits that will support the microwave fancy dish washing and putting in new homes
packed up to our house kitty care got new compost bucket and packing materials
stopped at an antique store--looking for display ideas back to DMIL's more putting dishes away trying out another place for the microwave
DM just texted me re: mail and visiting my DB. maybe she will stop by here???--yes
ON DECK: bring toilet seat in consolidate items on table move table to make it easier to walk around

Okay my fam came and went. I got to serve a cold beverage is a vintage green-glass pitcher. The best part is now DM understands why I haven't been able to stay long at her house--still so much to do in the next few days!
DVD called to ask where something was in the RV and its behind the ex-roommates stuff that we have yet to drive to her new place. I'm glad he thought of it now, before we packed the rest!
NEXT UP: more meds prioritize

Well, I didn't accomplish much the last few hours, I did a little bit here and there in the reading room and the plant room. I had to put the window AC on upstairs because it got up to 84, and downstairs is still 72.
I also did PEEPing but I'm not sure how downstairs looks so I'll look at that the next time I go down.
I'll say goodnight now even though I have a couple of hours til bedtime, I'm pretty sure I won't accomplish anything noteworthy yet tonight.
See you all tomorrow in the weekday thread!
Diane

How y’all. Read back amnesty, please Sorry for not keeping up. Today: Returned 5 pairs of jeans/pants (1 pair back to Kohl’s, 1 to Talbots & 3 to JC Penny’s) & hung 5 pairs in the closet. Tried on tons of tops at jc Pennys & bought quite a few. I won’t be returning any of them. They had a great sale on Liz Claiborne & Alfred Dunner. I had a very lucky shopping day!  Im normally very hard to fit. This was a rare time for me. Went to Walmart & bought Sudafed & travel size items. We bought a bed, yesterday. And piece of bad news: new beautiful master bathroom shower wall tiles has some small cracks. Ghah!! 14,400+ steps today. Washed 2 loads of laundry today. dtesposito I’m glad your Dog is more relaxed now. Cd |
