Morning Witsters It's funny, in an ironic way, hearing about people being too hot when we are in the middle of winter and, right now, have no heating. I keep reminding myself that this will pass, that progress is being made, that others have it worse than us, that a couple of generations ago this would be normal etc. But there are times it doesn't seem very funny....and my house is more of a mess than it's been for years. I do not function well when I am cold...but the sun is shining today and I know moving around keeps me warm ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/ElqtgaKypYWeNbzGtFTV.gif) Coffee Wallowed in self pity for a bit Set some intentions ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl.gif) Start load of washing Kitchening Chickening

goldenthreads- thank you for your consistent, unwavering support for the people on this thread and site. It means a lot to me Kitchening Chickening Towels washed and out, next load in Started pulling up more carpet in hallway Clothes folded and away Zero progress on getting the house back in order - probably gone backwards by starting on carpet.... Get changed and go out to look at and probably buy a new mat for the sitting room- which will absolutely add to the chaos! Decide on and start making a dessert to take out with us tonight- probably brownie Vacuum kitchen Hang washing

razy, I noticed posts on social media this morning from people in your area complaining of the cold. I thought of you, and also wish I could share some of the excess heat we have been experiencing. I really need to pace myself with my tasks right now, due to recovering and the heat. I had wanted to clean the sludge out of the bottom of the kitchen sink for a few days now. I finally got that done yesterday. It's gross. I wish I could train DH better, but it just doesn't work. ta-da: Up, prepared and ate some breakfast, sipping on some tea Ran a load of dark laundry. Some of this is from my trip. Stripped my bed and put a different set of sheets on with a blanket on top to protect the sheets from the cat. Her claws are too long and she ripped the other sheet with her claws. to-do: Throughout the day, work on the cat's matted fur. It's the worst it's ever been and she doesn't like me working on it. I guess it hurts. I might have to take her to the groomer for her claws. It's a 2 person job... Continue with the laundry. See if I can repair that sheet. Declutter somewhere. I still haven't completely emptied my luggage and put it away. I have neglected my indoor plants for 3 weeks now. I need to look at them and see what can be saved. DD will be taking her beloved cat on her final journey today. Her heart is broken. I want to do what I can do to support her.

ta-da: Hung up stuff from laundry Patched hole in sheet. Learned something about my sewing machine while I was at it. Watered house plants. Most that I care about look okay. I should get rid of the rest, but will wait for a cooler day.
to-do: take a break!
I plan to declutter some stuff throughout the day. I have some papers that need sorting I need to wash and sort eggs from the past few weeks. I have a system, but it was not followed over the past 3 weeks. Delete excess emails, I'm shooting for 1000. Finish unpacking, putting luggage away.

I like sweet gerkin pickles with broiled cheese. I had used up a jar, I opened a can of beets purchased for this reason, and put them in the jar.
Meal: broiled cheddar bacon, looked for more gerkins in lower cupboard. Didn't find. Ate. Left cupboard door open. Put plate in kitchen, cat comes crawling out. Son of a blarsted turkey dog. Cupboard is L shape, left is canned goods, right is baking pans. Now I have to wash ALL the baking pans. Blerg!!!!!
Changed shirt (yard brush work) folded/put away the cat towels drying bath towels
Put away some games I had taken to a party gathered some rags into a plastic shopping bag

I feel great! I don't remember ever returning from errands pumped up, but I am now! Traffic was light considering that it's Saturday afternoon, and the whole trip took less than an hour. I asked at the hardware store if they still had plants, and they had plenty, including the rosemary I was craving. I was going to do just the two errands, but decided to pick up the library hold, a cookbook with beautiful pictures ![lol](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/70gKR226h9rBn4CaD0Tc.gif) , so that I could plan some meals. This week I am going to aim for deliciousness. Watching a cooking show has gotten me excited. ![::tada-1::](https://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/ElqtgaKypYWeNbzGtFTV.gif) Went to Best Buy and recycled some cables. Went to hardware store and got stakes and rosemary. Went to library #1 and picked up book on hold. InsideChange recurring donation method.Vacuum living room and bedroom.
