Good morning womble and everyone!
I couldn't go out to do yardwork this morning because it's raining! I don't remember the last time I was able to say that! I'm happy, because every time I woke up in the night I heard light rain, which is the best to soak into the garden. And I woke up several times, including at 1:30am when I received an alarm on my phone about something that doesn't even apply to where I live! I couldn't fall back for over an hour after that time.
It looks like the rain will stop soon, but I did go out to the yard to check the bucket and there's an inch and a half of water in there, that's a good amount. It's sad that we only had rain because there was a hurricane, though.

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday, I didn’t do anything beyond that tiny list I posted first thing in the morning. Depression. Anxiety. New meds that make me feel terrible. I am going to message the nurse today and tell her these new meds aren’t going to work for me. *sigh*. Today, I have to get some work done in spite of how I feel. I have company coming by for a visit this weekend. I am trying not to be stressed about it, but I am stressed about it! Two of my rooms are literally in doom mode.

Good morning TT! The good news is that today is Wednesday, you have three whole days to prepare for your guests! And today you will get things done so that you will be less stressed about it by tonight!

Oh TT, what a nice thing to say. It just always helps me if I can picture how I'll feel later if I can make myself work on the things I'm avoiding. If we can remind ourselves of that it's usually easier to do some work.
And right now I'm avoiding the work room downstairs, so I will go do 10 minutes of decluttering in that room!

Wow TT, you're even looking for cobwebs? That reminds me that I used to do that at my condo (don't know if they were cobwebs or dust webs, but they would collect on the ceiling) but I don't ever think to do that here. I guess I need to inspect my ceilings one of these days!
I'll need to go out to the yard later today since I couldn't do it this morning, but I can't weed after a good rain like that or I will end up muddy head to toe. I'll wait until late afternoon. The sun is out right now so I'm sure the temp has gone way up outside, but I will wait as long as possible before putting the window A/C on. I'm going to concentrate on paper today, old and new--there's just so much of it.
Oh, and I did 20 minutes on the work room downstairs and it looks so much better--I avoided it because I thought it would take so much longer. There are still some things out on the work table and a few boxes to cut down for recycling, but it went from being embarrassingly cluttered to what I consider a normal looking work room. I need to keep reminding myself that even a short period of time can make a big difference.

I'm going to go out to the yard even though it's hot and sunny--I will do a little work but mainly want to see what's out there in the middle of the afternoon.
