Good afternoon cando!
I am finalizing my January challenge goals, as usual, I have too many, but that's okay. I'd rather make big goals and achieve medium goals, than to make little goals and achieve little goals. Or, something like that.
I need to do some sitting down things, too many trips up and down the stairs so far today.
Next:
10 minutes on paper Finish last nursing home card and package all 5 to mail Cook some veggies so they'll be ready for dinner Delete 10 hard emails

Danny, that is clever to have days to check for leaks, that's being proactive. I wish I could maintain some kind of weekly schedule for doing particular things, I have tried many times and never can keep to it. Maybe if I can keep my clutter under control I can do more cleaning--it's like magic--as soon as I can honestly say that the clutter in each room is under control, it's like my mind is freed up to think of other things--today I felt a strong urge to vacuum the stairs although I had been ignoring the dog hair and dust on them for a few weeks.

hi everypony and Happy New Year to those using the Gregorian Calendar!
We had a very low-key night. yes to hearing firecrackers/guns. did not watch any TV. Got a kiss from DVD.
Its the warmest/sunniest day of the week, so DVD has been taking down the outdoor decorations. I had a very hard time getting started. Have pulled some muscles on the side of my torso, which is wearing me out. But I got through my feelings of being victimized by the world, and am glad to have gotten some stuff done.
DONE: DVD made brekkie made bed
updated log started a new one! checked online balance checked email checked calendar sent out a few more digital greetings
brought down red and green boxes made a list of action items related to decorations made some labels for cord management
got dressed
posted some new threads (Digital Declutter, D-word)
and in some challenges
ON DECK: calendar updates start designing new spreadsheet boot laundry what's for dinner? take more pictures for the dolls' Christmas start setting up for their New Year party!

Wow, that doesn't seem possible! Is it the same company? Maybe it's temporary--a couple of months ago I went to buy the large bags of bird seed at the Walmart website and the price had gone up $10 a bag. I kept watching it and a week later it was back at the regular price--I don't know if it was a glitch, or if they tried to raise the price and no one bought it so they lowered it back down!
Almost time for me to get ready for bed. I'm very happy with today, I got a decent amount done. And my house is still at baseline!
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!

desposito Yes, outrageous re: pricing in this item. And, crazy re: bird seed! I’m wondering if they have discontinued it or something. Some are out of stock & I can’t get it quickly anymore unless I pay $30+ to get it. Until this month I could get it with free shipping much sooner. Or pay a small fee for shipping. I’m hoping that the pricing will drop back down, again. I finished the 2nd round of 100 yesterday but didn’t get to post. Did more laundry. Cooked dinner Fed dog Gave her meds Did a lot of paperwork! 2 more papers put in “to be shred” bag 4 bags recyclable bottles, cans, hats taken to outside can 1 sack of recyclable paper type stuff taken to outside can 1 large box of smaller boxes taken to outside recycle can 8 boxes put in outside recycle box 25+ papers sorted Have a great day, y’all!

Good morning reve and cando!
My main job this morning is to reach the pharmacy again and unless they are positive that the dog's medication will be delivered today, I then have to call the vet and ask for a week's supply to tide me over, and I will walk there to pick it up tomorrow.
The pharmacy customer service line opened 10 minutes ago and I called right away, when I pressed the number for checking an order it told me to check online, which I can't do because they can't seem to get a link to me to change my password, then the call was cut off. I called back 5 minutes later and the same thing happened, but then I called a third time and after telling me to check online, a message offered to call me back when it was my turn. So at least I'm in line waiting for a call back.
While I wait for the call I will finish up some military letters that are written but need to be packaged to mail.

I did get my callback, there is no tracking information after shipping so they have no idea when I'll get my order, so I called my vet. The receptionist told me they don't have one of the medications, but I have enough of that one until the weekend so tomorrow I will pick up a week's worth of the other one along with CBD oil. The pharmacy tried again to send a link so I could change my password but it didn't arrive. So I will try to forget that aggravation for the rest of today so I can get some things done.
TO DO:
Call decluttering client 10 minutes on filing Restock water in fridge Delete 10 hard emails

Good morning everyone!
I thought I had posted yesterday but I cannot find it so either it got lost in cyberspace or I am imagining things. either is a possibility at this moment.
I made a huge pot of chili yesterday. It was good. I have leftovers for lunch today. I keep checking the clock to see if it is noon yet.
I think we are to get a significant snowfall sunday into Monday. This will be our first snow of the weekend. I hope DS comes to shovel.
I am trying to be more mindful when I grocery shop. I started to purchase some out of season fruit and decided to put it back. I am trying to trust myself more when I purchase ingredients - I always buy extra and they are not always needed.
I cant remember if I shared this - but I am rethinking my upstairs. I am in the process of turning DS's room into a "cave" for me. I have a dresser and clothing racks and such in there. DH has the closet in the guest room. Well I am thinking of flip flopping and making the guest room the "cave" and DS's room the guest room. DH likes the idea and already plans to "steal" space in the room for himself. I told him no - or at least not until I have determined how much space I need. The current guest room is a bit bigger than DS's room so maybe I can have a small table in there I already have bedding to match the paint color of DS's room and I can leave the desk in there and make it an office. I could probably accomplish most of the transferring of stuff over the weekend.
I am made up of so many unfinished projects. If I could just get one completed and under my belt....
OK - I need to be more focused on work than what I am going to do at home tonight.

Good morning ohblondie! That's cool, another room project, but put your clothing racks in their permanent place soon so you can start filling them up. I'm sure you'll find more to donate once everything is visible.
The dog wanted to go out during that last list.
Next:
10 minutes on paper 10 minutes on plant room cleaning Make some copies Delete 10 hard emails

yes - I am so anxious to get this done so that I can make certain I wear the clothing I love and I can weed out what doesnt work! I am such a "Need things to be visible" person.
