Oh razy! So sorry that the sewing went badly. I like to so, but I have days when things go badly too. DH and I had a major fight on Thursday. I worked yesterday and am trying to stay out of his way today, so I'm not sure how much I'll get done. ta-da: Up, prepared and ate some breakfast (whole grain blue berry pancakes) and tea Loaded the dishwasher it's only about 1/4 full so I won't run it this morning. Put some laundry in the washer but did not start if yet to-do: Log into computer and delete excess emails, unsubscribe from at least 5. My email box is >92% full and they start blocking email when that happens. Go through and delete unneeded files from laptop computer. It's gotten so slow that it's nearly unusable, but is about 10 years old and has a lot of stuff on it that I don't need anymore. CLA meeting now Later: Maybe move some houseplants out? Sort through things in dining area Shred paper

Good morning, guys and dolls! Ally I hope feelings are mended soon. WTG on dishwasher and laundry loading. I haven't been online much because it's the busiest time of year for work and home. Bit too cold and wet for garden work this morning. Will be concentrating on indoors, which is a real mess, too. 1. Repotted as many seedlings as I had cups and soil; tossed the rest into compost bin - project started yesterday and finished today 2. Washed stinky mattress pad and pillow covers 3. Washed spring coat (although this morning it's cold enough for it) 4. Totaled up my April expenses - completely blew my budget in two areas, but it's better knowing than avoiding. 5. Took vacuum cleaner apart and washed all hoses 6. Collected and put away medals that were hanging on the bulletin board 1. Put away dry clothes 2. Make bed 3. Put away dry dishes

Good morning, all! It's great to see so many here on a Saturday. Daughter is coming over this afternoon. She wants to work with me on one of my boxes of papers. I said yes because it'll be a useful thing, but it'll be tough. Today's effort before she gets here will be about food for book club. I don't have to do it this way, but there will be an ethnic theme to this, so a fun challenge. ![::kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl::](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl.gif) Wash dishes. Do some weeding. Email daughter. Make recipe plans for book club next week; do grocery list. Find the Mother's Day card I know I have. (It's not in the hanging file folder.)
Errands: gas station, other library to get hold, grocery store

Good morning WITers! Great job everyone especially with many obstacles - fights, depression, etc. Whew - life is tough. I have zero motivation and would like to get at least a few things done in the next hour, so I will attempt:
5 minutes clear of bed 5 minutes sort laundry 5 minutes gather dirty dishes and put near top of stairs

Thanks for the commiseration, mouseanne. I hope you have some productive, satisfying solitude today, Ally. Did you have a good time at the wedding, razy? missjean Brava for facing the budget. I have never, ever thought about washing vacuum cleaner hoses. Hmm. Put dishes away. PUPA 5 minutes. Washed dishes. ![::kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl::](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl.gif) Do some weeding. Email daughter.

Hello all! It's good to see so many people here! goldenthreads, I hope you find that card! ta-da: Listening to CLA phone meeting while I do some tasks Made some split pea soup. Cooked some black beans for some chili. Moved a couple plants outside Managed to delete some email messages and unsubscribe from several. Pulled plants out of Aerogarden and put them in the ground outside. I don't know if they will make it, but I'm done with the Aerogarden for the season. to-do: Continue with black bean chili Move more plants outside? Get and sort the mail

Two days after my gym class, I am feeling my abs clenching every time I cough. 👍 Had meds and made bed. Filled pill minder. Put M's Day card on shopping list. Could not find the one I have. ![::kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl::](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl.gif) Do some weeding. Email daughter.

mouseanne< I'm sorry that you've been depressed lately. Does it tend to get better as the days get longer? ta-da: Got and sorted the mail Made black-bean chili Moved citrus and banana trees outside. It's drizzling out, so it's a good day to put them out. to-do: I'm not sure how much more I will do today? Perhaps sweep up the area where the trees were? A bit of food prep for the next few days? I might have enough dirty dishes to run the dishwasher after that. Scrub the shower stall?

goldenthreads do we live in parallel universes? I couldn't find a birthday card and had to buy another. But it's my legs that cramp from exercise, not abs. RE: vacuum. I was vacuuming a cupboard and there was a lot of spilled baking cocoa that clogged everything. Ally I worked in a building that had citrus trees in the arboretum between offices. How big will yours grow? 1. Had lunch and washed its dishes 2. Bought potting soil and all sorts of things for household 3. Put away purchases 1. Spray weeds 2. Set up pots with the soil 3. Collapse? I have about 93 kg/205 lbs of potting soil to move.

Pulled a few weeds, demonstrating the use of my new stand-up weed puller to daughter and landlord. Went to gas station. Went to library to get hold (cookbook for book club snacks). ![::kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl::](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl.gif) Cold stratify the new seeds I got. Do some weeding. Email daughter. Make recipe plans for book club next week; do grocery list.
Tomorrow's errands: one other library to get hold (also cookbook for book club snacks), grocery store
