Good Monday morning.
I now telecommute on Mondays - it makes easing into the work week much easier.
Last night I emptied out the night stand that DS is taking with him. I kept my swimsuits and coverups in one drawer and PJ's in the other. I had really weeded out these two categories and only kept the essentials. I was super frustrated to see a mouse got into the PJ drawer and I had to toss a brand new pair of PJ;s that still had the tag on. I am on a mission now to get those buggers. so the stand is empty, super cleaned out and in DS's room. I have a box that holds the few remaining items. I started to go through my scarves and purged several. pausing that for something that will make a bigger impact.
I was able to vacuum the bedroom floor even more. That felt great.
It is finally getting colder outside. I had better dig out my warmer coat. I last saw it in the bedroom......
OK - I really better get to work.
Good morning everyone!

Wow! Everyone is off to such a great start this morning! Happy Monday, Everyone! I have been attending online peer support groups for depression and learning new strategies for managing my depression. I hoping to accomplish a lot today even though I am currently in a depressed episode. I haven’t been able to do much for weeks now, and my home is in major disarray. Three rooms, almost four, are in what I consider crisis level. Every room has messes. Everything needs cleaned.
Doing what I can when I can. Taking action. Going to play a different game with myself because Ring Around the House hasn’t inspired lately. Going to play a new game I came up with last month. Race to 100. Basically, I touch one hundred things and then take a break. If I touch something I have to deal with it. For example, l will count every piece of clothing I load into the washing machine, every piece of trash I throw away, every item I put away, etc.. you would be surprised how fast I can get to 100. After I get to 100, I will add to my “DONE” list here and set a timer to take a break.

Happy Monday lennon womble ohblondie and TwinkleToestoday is a happy day for me as I shortly leave to retrieve DD from college! She has not been home since August. happy dance! yesterday I did get some stuff done but not as much as I had planned. Before I pick up DD I want to put clean sheets on her bed clean off dining room table vac her room use glass cleaner on doors and glass top tabled as the cleaner has fresh scent! TwinkleToes my best trick is setting a timer and just doing stuff til the buzzer goes off! I am proud because i had to pick up a new router yesterday and this morning I had to call the provider as it was not working and now I have internet again. DD will be glad!! so far I have fed animals, quickly checked work email even though I am off today, moved laundry along, ate breakfast now I have one hour to do housework and get ready and go get my girl!!! |

thanks TwinkleToes and good luck with your new game strategy! I did the dishes moved some laundry along vacd DD room vacd upstairs hallway wiped down some baseboards in DD room her sheets were not quite dry so I put them on for more time, and now it is time to make her bed up. one of my least favorite chores is putting on sheets! I can never figure out the top or bottom and it takes several tries, while also keeping cats out! |

Good morning everyone!
Bree, have fun picking up your daughter!
TT, I love how you come up with games to help you, they can make such a difference! I hope you can get a productive day in!
I'm waiting for the dog to want to go out, we did not fall asleep last night until after midnight but she last went out at 8 so I'm sure she'll have to go out soon. I managed to get to 6 hours of sleep by sleeping til 7, but I do not feel rested.
It's really chilly in the house today, the temp outside is 45 degrees but feels like 38, so I might have to turn the heat up a degree. What I really need to do is get insulating tape on all the windows that have drafts coming through, that would have to save me some money on heating bills this winter.
Let's all have a good Monday!
Diane
