Good morning!
Thanks for starting the thread, lennon!
Well, my optimism yesterday wasn't even cautious enough, we had a terrible night. It was as though I hadn't even given her the night time meds, she did not sleep well, and her legs are worse too. So this morning I'm very discouraged.
She's still sleeping so I have to see how she is this morning, if her legs aren't better than they were in the middle of the night I'll have to call the vet again.
But for now I'll try to do a few things and not waste the morning.
Diane

Diane, I am so sorry to hear that you sweet girl is still struggling.  I hope when she wakes up this morning there is some improvement. 
The handyman just called to cancel again. He was in and out of the ER last week and this morning he is heading back to the hospital for some tests the doctors need to do asap. He is a good man and an excellent worker. I really want him to be healthy, he is only 53.
The decision fatigue about sorting/getting rid of stuff has extended to not wanting to decide what to do today.  Maybe caffeine and sugar to start.

Good morning danny and ohblondie!
Well, the dog is able to walk, she's wobbly, but she went outside to potty and came back in and ate breakfast, so she's better than she was in the middle of the night, that was not good. And now my back is hurting from so much bending and helping to lift her rear end up. I looked up the pain medication again, the once a day one, and it says I should see improvement in as little as three days (it has now been three days) up to TWO weeks. So, I have to give it more time before I decide it's not working.
So once again, I have to now calm down and not waste the day. Now I don't know when I'll get to Walmart, I guess if she's much better tomorrow I can try to go, the problem is she doesn't want to get up until around 9 and by the time we're done with everything it will be so late for me to go. But I'll have to play it by ear. I am very glad I went to the library yesterday instead of leaving it for this morning.

So I had a long talk with my decluttering client, she's having some new work problems. And I decided to vacuum the steps between the first and second floor and after that my back was killing me so I decided to take a short reading break. Well, I ended up taking a long reading break because during my largely sleepless night last night I read a big chunk of the book I was in the middle of, and I really wanted to finish it. This is the second general fiction book I've read in the last couple of weeks that has an autistic character, I didn't plan it, it just worked out that way with when the books were available from the library. Both of these books were really good--it's rare for me to stop what I'm doing to finish a book that isn't a police procedural, and now I've had two in a row. Although to be fair the first one did have a bit of mystery in it.
I keep checking on the dog, she's okay.
TO DO:
10 minutes on first floor Sweep bedroom and bathroom Get tape measure and find the right size cardboard in the basement for the top of the kitchen shelving unit Move plant cuttings to top shelf once I get the cardboard up there

Hi all!
I've had a busy but productive afternoon. I bought a bunch of drawer organisers, that I may have mentioned recently when talking about the cutlery drawer, but they were actually bought for the desk drawers in my office. I bought a bunch more and have set about using them in the bathroom and little office nook today. Definitely liking them as a big help in finding a place for everything, like loose batteries and memory sticks and spare car keys.
Done:
Organised contents of bathroom storage unit into undersink drawers or into baskets by type, for further organisation
Organised undersink drawers with drawer organisers. Including no less than six pairs of nail scissors, doubly amusing as I usually use the pair I keep downstairs!
Finally finished emptying toiletries bag from our vacation in July
Went through all 3 office drawers
Went through two further boxes from the office
Two items set aside for donation
Three items set aside for taking to work
One trash can of trash filled
Cut up and trashed a bunch of old cards, including a debit card from 1999!
Cleared air dryer
Folded and bagged laundry
Put away laundry that lives on coat rack downstairs
Load of laundry
Stacked and ran dishwasher
Achieved dining table zero

Hello reve!
The dog wanted to go out and she was okay. It's very damp outside, and I wonder if that's making her arthritis worse. I never notice anything like that with mine, although I do have to say last week when we had rain several days in a row my hips were hurting--maybe we're both reacting to the weather. My back pain is from bending and lifting, not from the weather. And the problem is, cold wet weather is here now for the next many months!
Now I'm going to take an inventory of groceries I have in case I do get to go shopping in the next few days.

Trying to balance production and rest! Usually I would keep going until collapse
Dh did some yard work
Now we're sitting in the garage on lawn chairs waiting for UPS to arrive. The bell isn't working and we missed it 2 days
I put some clothes away always surprised by how many I have considering I rarely buy

Hi oust and scholar!
Ohblondie, what's happening with the house--are people interested?
Well, who knows what tonight will be like with the dog, I'm eating dinner now and will go downstairs a little early, I didn't get much sleep last night. I'm not planning on shopping tomorrow, it's a little warmer after tomorrow but still in the mid-60s so as long as there isn't rain I can go on any day.
Good night everyone, see you in the morning.
Diane
