I did not finish that last project, my back is hurting too much, too many times up and down the stairs today. I did gather half the things in a box, moved the light, and moved the cage, but the table still has a lot of messy things on it, plus needs to be washed down--but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
I'm going to sit now for a while before dinner.

I had dinner and then got a phone call, and now upstairs feels so warm despite the window air conditioner that I think I'll go to bed early--I don't have energy to do anything else in this heat. Maybe I can catch up on my reading!
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow.

Good morning, everyone. Hope your back is feeling better today, Diane. Yesterday, I started the day off strong and then fizzled out mid afternoon. I was able to get all of the laundry washed and dried, though, so if I focus on folding and putting away today, I will be happy with my laundry progress. I am hoping to do some decluttering in my bedroom today. I am going to just start in one corner and focus on that corner. If I think about the entire room, I will feel overwhelmed.

Good morning everyone!
It's been so hot here too! Every time I start doing something it hits me!
Reve, it's the same for me--when I'm sitting down near the air conditioner I think, oh I'm comfortable, I can do something. Then I stand up and start working in another room and, ugh!
If I think about the entire room, I will feel overwhelmed.
Good idea, TT--that's why I make my little lists--if I think about everything I need to do, I don't DO anything, except think about it! If I make a short list I focus on the list and it feels very do-able.
I was out working in the yard before 6, and it was moderately comfortable--the temp is 73 already, going up to near 90. The house is uncomfortable already, I turned on the ceiling fan and will try to wait before putting the window AC on, it will be a long day. Of course, the rain predicted for yesterday did not come at all, so yard work this morning included watering. I started out using buckets from the rain barrels but realized I couldn't do that for the whole yard so I used the hose to soak sections while I did weeding. More rain is predicted for today but it's described as "scattered" so I won't hold my breath.
I guess today will be a quiet indoor day, lots of "sitting down" tasks by the fan.

I went to the library and mail box at 9. Yesterday, I did a lot of physical stuff, and this morning I woke up with sore ankles. The walk to the library took me twice as long as usual, and I had to lean on my shopping cart or I never would have made it. This makes me fearful about the possibility of doing the Walmart walk this week.
I noticed that Walmart has a special offer right now for half price on their annual fee for delivery membership--$50 instead of $100. They also request that you give a tip on each order--I suppose I could refuse but since they ask for a tip it means they pay their delivery people next to nothing so I feel like I have to give a tip to be decent. My groceries will end up costing more, but I will be more productive at home because I won't lose a full day or longer every couple of weeks from being tired after walking there. Plus I could eat in a more healthy way since I could have produce on a regular basis. So I'm considering doing it. Since I'm already worried about if I'm going to be able to make the walk later this week, and since every summer seems to get hotter, and since my back and legs are not going to ever get better, only worse-I'll have to do it eventually anyway, I might as well get the half price offer. It just feels like such a defeat though.
I have cooled off from my walk so I'm going to call my decluttering client, and then figure out some lists of things that don't require a lot of walking up and down steps.

Tuesday! Diane it is not a defeat to use the service, it is a smart use of your time and resources!! : )
we are having another very hot sunny day.
yesterday at work I got some things done, I am slowly making progress but slowly. still deer in headlights mode overall.
Today I am working at home as I had to take puppy in for her final check up from her issue. all clear!! No growth. she is fine yahoo, thanking God. Poor pup had to be sedated for the exam, so that is why I am home. I gave her pill this morning. she could not have food or drink after midnight which was a challenge in a house w two cats including one who is 20 and needs easy access but it all worked out. I am glad it is over, the whole thing was weighing on me.
Only had one meeting today, and I am going to cancel the next one. I need to just work. Chaos is causing mischief by messing around with a rush job, causing some on my team to redo work. sigh.
right at this very minute, a firetruck went by and puppy is howling along with it. I think she has the most beautiful howl!
last night, DD walked puppy. Somehow I have hurt my knee and I just needed to ice and rest it. I think I need to go to a doctor. I hate hate hate going to doctors, and I am afraid they might say it is just old age. but it has hurt for a few weeks and I should get it checked out. working at home today will give me a chance to do that RICE thing. She might need to walk puppy tonight too.
I am going to try and get a load of laundry done while I am home today. I am striving for a low carb day. yesterday I did it.
I also should check out my finances.
