General tidy in entry paper grocery sack of random trash & another broken down box hauled to the bin, at the curb vac & dust mop entry, library, dining room
Pretty much it for the day, but I am going to try to vac the living room. Not a thorough clean, but a general stab at it.

BetsyMarieThis is what I do. I wash every day, but it's common for me to decide I'm stopping at one or two racks' worth, leaving a few unwashed. ![::tada-1::](https://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/ElqtgaKypYWeNbzGtFTV.gif) Put away dishes. Did a little shredding and lubricated shredder. Wrote out the grocery list. InsideChange recurring donation method.Vacuum living room and bedroom. Find insurance policy on messy table or online.
Provide proof of insurance.
OutsideMow lawn. Plant the rosemary. Errands: library #2 (overdue return), donation/recycling stores, Costco (gas + glasses adjustment), grocery store

Good morning WITers. I'm hoping to be able to get back in to posting more regularly now. Hopefully life will settle down and I can do that.
ta-da: Up early, fed cat, did dishes Did a load of laundry, put most of it away Harvested remaining garlic. (I really tried to follow all of the recommendations, but I just got tiny heads of garlic.) Sipped tea, napping on and off. Ate breakfast Started batch of yogurt (Hours ago) Called into Employee Health, left another message. I am supposed to get clearance to return back to work.
to-do: CLA meeting Prep for appointment this afternoon Food prep for this week's work meals.

Hi all. If it's Monday, it must be ' Gather The Trash Day'. And as of yet, I have nothing in the main green bin... So that is today's main goal - get outside while it's still cool, and start clipping and gathering. goldenthreads , dishes has always been an issue for me. This past year I've worked consciously on reducing the load, doing individual pieces as I go, cook less, more finger foods, etc. I've significantly reduced ones that need hot soapy water, and I have a more efficient system for pre-organizing. But they still build up, esp utensils. Yesterdays 'big batch' was one rack full. Because there are now fewer, it's easier to avoid the task too long. I just don't see them. I'm going to be more aware to do them once per week. Or something. done: -put away dry dishes -set up new kitty watering station. -enjoyed morning hot cocoa Todo: -filling green can -collect house trash -sharpen more knives... or put the sharpener away Get outside early before it gets too hot!!

Good afternoon BetsyMarie and mouseanneta-da: Employee Health finally called me back. I printed out the form they sent me, and then sent it back. I am cleared to go back to work tomorrow, but am supposed to wear a mask at all times, and I must eat alone. I got the mail and put it into the recycling bin Installed the app for my virtual counseling session this afternoon. Started food prep for this week's work meals. to-do: Tidy up my room a bit (10 items out!) Sort through papers. I have a bunch of papers, some important, that need to be organized. Finish the food prep that I started.

![::mornincoffee2::](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/DtNtwXAbrYjKWIcLFRyI.gif) There was a big hole in my sleep last night. I'd been having wonderful sleep lately, and yesterday it didn't occur to me that I shouldn't have two mugs of coffee in the morning plus two of tea in the afternoon when I'd already had plenty of sleep. I've now put up a caution sign on the tea tin, because I need to stop having to relearn this. ![::tada-1::](https://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/ElqtgaKypYWeNbzGtFTV.gif) Started dishes soaking. Figured out route for this morning's errands. Had meds and made bed. InsideChange recurring donation method.Vacuum living room and bedroom. Find insurance policy on messy table or online.

I went outside very early (relatively speaking) and got a lot done. Over 2 hours non-stop. It was actually pleasant. -cleaned small pond pump -repaired a hose end -filled main green bin to 'stuffed'.
I also just checked my neighbor's green bin, and fortunately it's full too, so I don't have to clip more to fill his to full.
todo: -clip more stuff for next week's pickup. Tis the season. -change hall light bulb -gather house trash -and litters

missjean Good job emptying your refrigerator shelves before leaving on your trip. BetsyMarie Definitely the season for clipping! I need two more weeks to catch up with what we already have. Ally I'm glad you're feeling well enough to go back to work. mouseanne ![](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/hWJvh0pREfNnOEaEDopg.gif) You got a lot done over the weekend! ![::tada-1::](https://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/ElqtgaKypYWeNbzGtFTV.gif) Washed dishes. Went to bookstore and got only the books I'd planned on. Went to Home Depot and recycled compact fluorescent lights. That's the last of specialty recycling for now.

Hello all! goldenthreads, sorry about the interrupted sleep. ta-da: Did a bit of tidying up in the downstairs bathroom. (Scrubbed toilet, wiped sink and mirror) Did a tiny bit of tidying up in my room Moved dishes to the dishwasher Had therapy session. to-do: Thinking about going to the nearby greenhouse. I have an empty bed in the garden that needs something growing in it. Prep for work tomorrow. I haven't gone in for 3 weeks and fear I'll forget something if I don't have everything ready to go for the morning. Prep for CLA meeting tomorrow night.

yrwelcome, WTG for getting all those weeds whacked! I hope it's not as hot there as here! ta-da: Went to local greenhouse which was like an oven! They were having a sale where you can fill a box with plants (4-packs) for $5. The lady at the register told me to go back and get more! I think I got about 50 plants for $5! I bought some squash seeds too. (Plants were basil, nasturtium, impatiens.) I planted 16 of previously mentioned plants and some seeds. Came inside to cool off and rest. to-do: Prep for going back to work tomorrow. Finish yogurt and pack food for tomorrow's meals. Shower? Chicken care (later)
