Good morning, everyone! Wishing everyone I. Their part of the world a wonderful day ahead. I am going to be posting only a “DONE” list today as that seems to work much better for me the. Listing the to dos and the dones. Also, I am going to play my Race to 100 Game today, taking a rest break between each round. For anyone new to the thread, the way I play this game is I count every single action/item I deal with and when I get to 100, I take a little break. It’s amazing how quickly you can get to 100, especially if sorting papers, folding laundry, doing dishes, etc.. the most rounds I have ever done in a single day, and recorded here, is 3. Maybe today I can break that record and make it to four rounds. I have some level of Cho’s in every room with 6 spaces in crisis level (3 rooms 2 closets, and I bathtub).
The chaos wasn’t created in a day, I won’t clean it up in a day, but I can make a difference.
Starting my engine and lowering the flag!

Good morning! Thanks for starting the thread, lennon!
So my schedule was thrown off last night because my old condo neighbor called me at 7:30. He is turning 65 this year and is very confused by the social security and Medicare rules (as is everyone) and had emailed to ask if he could call me and ask me questions since I'm already on both of them. I told him it's been 5 years since I applied for SS and almost 3 for Medicare, but I said I would help him if I could. So, he called at 7:30--I realize this is a reasonable time for most people, so I answered--we talked until 9. I had the relevant websites open while we talked and tried to help him as much as I could, but his situation is different since he wants to keep working after turning 65 so I don't know how much I actually helped.
So then it was after 10 when I fell asleep, and I was up for about half an hour in the middle of the night, but I still got around 7 hours.
I did not get back to baseline yesterday so that's my job today. I also have to go to the mailbox and also drop a book off at the library, but I don't have to wait until it's open to go.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Diane

Good morning TT! Good luck with your decluttering game today!
Catcats, this is how I feel when I talk to my shopping friend:
we discussed the news and together, we solved most of the world's problems.
If only the politicians would just listen to us, right?

@good morning, Diane! I am sure your friend appreciated your help. It’s a lot to navigate those systems, especially when the rules are forever changing!

I went to the library and mailbox--I saw only 1 human the whole time, if you don't count the cars that I could see on the busy street way down at the end of my block.
