Good morning!
Ohblondie, enjoy your reunion this weekend!
TT, good luck with your cluttered corner. Can you just take one kind of thing out at a time, so it's not so overwhelming? Do you have places to put the clothes away, or are you going to try to downsize while sorting?
I cut the grass today, front, side, back, and alley. I started right after 8 so I wouldn't wake anyone up with the noise, and the temperature wasn't terrible but I wouldn't call it pleasant either. I was going to wait until tomorrow but since today was the day I was planning to walk to Walmart, I thought it would be fitting if I used the time for my other tiring job so I could get it over with! I also cut it before it was quite as long as usual, which meant it was a little easier--a couple less stops to empty the bag. If I was going to be perfect I would go out and sweep away the small amount of grass cuttings that fell onto the front sidewalk, but I'm not going to worry about them. I never worry about the back ones because no one sees them but me.
While out there I also watered the most recently planted plants.

Hi everypony! I've cut back on posting so I can put that energy into resting. But I have been slogging along. Today I have two art classes. Going to head back to bed now.

I'm stopping for lunch. I'm feeling my sore legs from the mowing, so I'm moving kind of slowly. And, it feels hotter than they said it would be today.

I went out to the yard for just a short time for a weeding session--I did a tiny bit of weeding this morning while cutting grass but I didn't think it counted for my Purge-a-thon "daily weeding session" so I went out again. It was still fairly warm but better than mid-day.
Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!

Good morning!
I've been out to the yard already, I stayed out there for an hour--I wish my back would let me stay longer because it felt really pleasant now. High will be near 80 later which feels hot when the sun is out. I mainly did weeding but also a little watering.
My lists are getting out of control again, so today I'm going to have to figure out some priorities, and maybe use dice to make the work more interesting.
Have a good Friday, everyone!
Diane

DONE:
Called decluttering client Worked on cleaning plant table and moved new bird's cage to the other end of the table, closer to old bird, since he's been here a week Went outside and cleaned bird baths and water bowls, also lots of plant pots, with hose
Collected some grass from yesterday's mowing and put in 2 buckets to dry Drilled holes in the bottom of some buckets that will hold dry plant stems Drilled holes in the bottom of another clear storage bin that will hold (hopefully) the rest of the leftover delivered dirt
Next I'm going to put together a new desk file holder thing, and after that it will be time for lunch.

So, I never returned to my list yesterday. I did move 30 things out of the corner of my bedroom. I am trying to declutter as I go because I have more clothing than I have room for. I asked my husband to be my “body double” on my day off work tomorrow and he said sure, no problem. So, I might work on it a little by myself today, but likely it will be tomorrow. Todays I have ZERO motivation to do anything physical. So, I worked on a paperwork project I had been procrastinating for two months. I am SO HAPPY tp have that project finished. Also, I ate a healthy salad for lunch when what I was craving was a terrible BIG MAC. I am proud of myself for having the salad instead. What should I do next? It’s hard when you don’t feel like doing anything at all. I think I will focus on self care stuff - take my meds, brush my teeth, wash face, etc.

Hello TT and scholar!
I just spent an hour and a half in the yard, I allowed myself the extra time since I was mostly sitting. I'm very pleased, I'm finally working on my two bucket projects--one is making the right kind of bucket to hold the dry plant stems--I have been saying all spring that I wanted to do this. I have no idea if it works, but I feel better doing it. I'm about 2/3 or 3/4 done with this project. I also started on the mosquito dunk buckets, I'm not even half way done but the rest of it shouldn't take long now that I have the buckets and the grass is drying. I have some hay also, I will find it and put it in the bucket, add water, add netting and let them ferment for a few days, then I add the mosquito dunk disk (or, a quarter of a disk, since I'm using a bucket instead of putting it in a pond or something like that).
Anyway, I am tired and overheated but happy with my progress. I will now get an icy drink and sit for a while.
How are you doing TT and scholar??
Diane

I took a long reading break, and tried to straighten up the kitchen downstairs which has become very messy again. I still have a large stack of boxes to cut down in that room, and the remains of my 2 bucket projects that I still have to finish. I also worked on rearranging my desk stuff, that's not done yet either, but it's time for dinner so I won't be doing much else today.
I will be in bed early, I was awake last night from 12:30 to 2:30 and just could not fall asleep. I'm not sure why this is happening again now, things were getting better for a while.
