goldenthreads, WTG for getting the water filter changed! We have a whole hose filter and it is a pain to change that thing. It's supposed to be done every 6 months, but it's probably been a couple of years. I don't think I could/should do it at this point. It takes a lot of muscles. 2 more weeks and I should be cleared for such things. ta-da: Cleaned kitchen floor (vacuumed with shop-vac and then wiped it down with a rag) Divided floor up into 3 sections, grouted 1/3, then waited a bit, wiped it and then grouted the next 3rd. It's a tiny kitchen, so not all that bad. I'm taking a short break now. This is going to sound crazy, but I'm actually using a rubber spatula to push the grout between the tiles, and it's working pretty well. to-do: Wipe 2nd portion of tiles and wipe previous sections. Grout third section, wait a while then wipe it Get the mail.

Ally We have a whole-house filter, too, but as far as I know it's only for particulates. I should check. The one I changed today is just in a pitcher, but it's for removing lead and other serious contaminants (old house). I need to use water from this regularly instead of going straight to the tap. Washed dishes. Put away dishes. Put away load of towels. Declutter some papers. Declutter some books. Run an errand for daughter.

Good morning WITers. I was going to post earlier, but my internet was down.
ta-da: Knit a round on my sweater sleeves, meds to cat, ate breakfast
Chicken door was frozen shut this morning. It was really stuck and not as easy to open as usual, but I got it open after a short struggle.
DH didn't take the trash down to the road last night because our cars were still covered with snow. I ran the heat and the defroster while doing some other tasks, then cleared off the windshield, and drove the car down to the road and unloaded the trash. (I'm really trying to get a couple bags of stuff out each week and don't want it building up.)
Grabbed a couple piles of paper and went through shredded much of it. This pile included a bunch of articles about Legionnaires disease. I wrote a paper and did a class presentation of this for a microbiology class I took 10 years ago. (I shred and compost a lot of this paper, since there isn't much topsoil up on the hill where I live.)
to-do: CLA meditation into action meeting. Work on assignments for step group.
Ask DH for financial information for taxes. The brokerage firm was supposed to have documents ready today.
Continue with tidying up,
Unload the dishwasher

ta-da: Unloaded the dishwasher Prepared and ate lunch Helped DH download the documents from his investments. He had something blocked, so they weren't coming through for him.
For a break: Worked on genealogy for a while. My sisters, daughter, niece and I may go to the UK this summer. I'm trying to locate gravesites/churches and other places to visit in addition to some other places we might want to visit..
to-do: Make some overnight oatmeal. I've been making 3 jars at a time. Work on taxes for a while. There is a chance I might be able to finish them today, but I'm not sure. A bit more decluttering.

I started the day off oddly. I woke up at 4:xx and got out of bed at 5:xx. I'd had a dream in which I knew a murder was about to happen, and by whose hand, but I didn't know where he was going. It was on me to prevent it. I was too awake to sleep again. Anyway, I had breakfast and coffee, then went back to bed. I should probably change my reading and viewing habits. So I have less than two hours to get things done before dinner with a friend. Had meds and made bed. Washed dishes. PUPA 6 minutes. Clean bathroom sink. ? ?

goldenthreads, sorry about your nightmare! I hate when things like that happen! andrea, thinking of you and sending you healing thoughts. joyinvirginia, It looks like you have a busy day ahead of you! ta-da: Up, meds to cat, scratch grains to chickens Ate breakfast Did dishes Not clutter related: Some relatives and I are planning a possible trip to the UK this summer. I did a bit of research yesterday afternoon, and sent a message on Ancestry. 90% of messages on Ancestry go unanswered, but when I woke up this morning, this stranger, a (maybe) 7th cousin to me, had replied to my message. She seems like a good resource, since she still lives where my ancestors lived. Sent messages to relatives trying to finalize a date range, so we start firming up plans. to-do: CLA meeting Decluttering

ta-da: CLA meeting Spent a bit of time decluttering and shredding papers Got the mail. It ALL went into the recycling bin Did a tiny bit of decluttering around the fridge, preparing to move it back into the kitchen, maybe later today.
Worked on vacation plans for a bit, emailed a distant cousin in the UK
To-do: I'm going to take a break for a while. I did some heavy lifting that I probably should have not done.
