Hello WITers! I haven't been quite as productive as I'd like. ta-da: Made a batch of veggie soup Yogurt is in progress Dishwasher is ready to start Picked out some clothes to wear later... but can't find my shoes. I have one pair of comfy black shoes that I wear with something nicer than jeans, but only wear them a few times a year, and it seems that I lose them in between wearing them. It is likely kicked them off when I walked into the house a couple months ago, and when DH swept, he moved them. He has ADD, there is no telling where things get moved to. Or maybe I had them in a bag that might be in a pile somewhere. I have difficult to fit feet, so they might be hard to replace. Helped DH with some tech challenges. Lat time he had a virtual visit, he couldn't figure how to get logged in. He has a virtual visit in a few days. Cancelled vet visit for cat tomorrow. I'm going to see if they will refill her meds without bringing her back in for more lab work. It turns out that she has some major health issues and we don't want to invest a lot of money in her if she has major problems. to-do: Get showered and dressed in about 30 minutes Sign the card and prepare the gift Continue to look for shoes. Last time I lost them, it started a good decluttering spree. I was throwing out any shoes that I didn't love or hadn't worn recently, along with a lot of other junk.

Hi compassionate, supportive friends. ❤️
Well things have been hard and my place is messier than it's been in a very long time... I am trying hard to remind myself that I simply *must* start small for so many reasons, and that I really *can* "do small."
A goal I have is to post here at least once daily through the weekend. Consistently coming here (when I do) sure helps me a lot.
TA-DA: *cleaned up space near bed (there was a lot of trash, oof...) *tied off a few bags of garbage and set them aside to be taken out *did some pretty OK self-care today (including taking steps towards giving myself a clean home again ✨)
TO-DO: *start slowly picking up the floor in the bathroom *gather up the huge flattened boxes right near front door (hey at least I flattened them! Haha) *take out first round of garbage and recycling
For now, a break.
🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐇

TO-DO: *continue working in the bathroom (gather up scattered laundry, put some things in better places) *break down more boxes for recycling *gather more garbage, take out
Break time again! 🌞

TA-DA: *continued working in the bathroom gathering and bagging scattered laundry *gathered more trash *started "staging" clutter to give myself more room to work (I just have to ensure I don't accidentally do that "piles churning" thing)
TO-DO: *continue gathering and bagging laundry *gather more trash, break down more boxes *continue to work on my Motivational List™ (writing down allll the reasons I need and want a clean home again is really motivating and also useful!)

Congrats on finding those shoes, Ally! Good to see you here, oxen. I'm going out tonight, but I may try your leisurely pace later as a sort of productive meditation. Hurray for clean sheets, beesnest! That's a rare treat for me. BetsyMarie Furniture moving and vacuuming sounds like a big deal. I hope you like it a lot. oust That's a whole lot of vacuuming. Good for you taking care of your skin. Shopping--a rare thing that took a few hours because of distance and dithering thoughtful consideration Bought gas. Bought jeans, and went a few doors down to look at and discuss iPads. (Will get one another day.) Bought new sneakers. Why must so many of them be white or pastel? Are the athletes and wannabe athletes working out indoors all the time?! I ended up with a pastel pair that was the only really comfortable pair I tried on. See the blue? That's supposed to pop out and motivate me. Housekeeping Clean bathroom sink.

"" Fortunately the two moved pieces are not very heavy, and I put cardboard beneath the feet to better drag them. And I actually do enjoy vacuuming. And beneath and behind this furniture, there was more than enough to vacuum to see a before and after difference. Today: - worked in 'cat sanctuary' room, clearing surfaces, organizing. Still much to toss or recycle in there. - cleaned water bowl and set up a better food station - human food prep -hung damp laundry todo: -put away prepped food tomorrow: -cut down cardboard boxes -clear entry

Good day everyone! ta-da: Released chickens meds and food to cat. Made and ate breakfast, emptied the dishwasher *Realized that I did NOT put shoes away last evening, and took care of them.* Carried trash out to main road and did a bit of plogging. It seems that our last rainstorm unearthed some bottles and cans, although maybe it's just that the weeds are dying back this time of year. to-do: Take a break Food prep for tomorrow's work meals. I usually prep all my work meals/snacks on Mondays, but this week has been different. Do some tidying up.
