Hi ComingClean! You got A LOT done in an hour!!
I agree Syzygy! It makes such a difference when I can actually look at all the things I have accomplished in a day. I LOVE WITs.
Hello Westside! Great job cleaning your bathroom.

WTG on laundry, creativechaos and wantinmore. Hope your 30 minute POOF in the kitchen was productive, comingclean. And WTG on taking care of post-op needs and taking time to post, Artsy.
TADAs: 1. Made bed 2. Made breakfast 3. Made and drank coffee 4. Voted 5. Back in the study ready to take more babysteps ...
TODOs: 1. Three timed 20 minute segments in study 2. Leave for "play date" at friend's in enough time to stop and buy those pesky one cent stamps. Buy some. Mail bills. 3. Lunch and clean up after.
Glad you're all here on WITs today!

Westside, great job on tackling that study and getting things done so you can do some good self-care and have a play date! hope you have a great time.

to dos: 1. go out of the apt. for awhile and do errands 2. make the to do list (for the week) while I'm out and sitting in the car 3. go to storage if it keeps on raining, and sort a box or two. If it stops raining, plant dahlias

Ta dah * Woke up from nap * Took care of all but one thing in the "To do" pile * Argued with insurance company I'm angry, tired, and need to eat, but grocery shopping will have to wait until tomorrow. To do * eat lunch * be angry * stop being angry

Wow! What an incredible amount of progress. Good job, everyone!
Just popped in to list my TADAs before running out. Having the 2 minute commercial cleaning victory in the bathroom yesterday must have energized me -- I did a lot less foot dragging on filing and organizing in study.
TADAs: 1. Filing up to date 2. More bills found and checks written 3. Took some recipes I'd printed out from study to bookshelf where recipe folder is. They are halfway there! (Dundee cake, marmalade cake, and Prince Charlie pancakes, for my clans folk across the pond ... was going to make them for memorial service, but the powers that be just wanted cookies... less work for me, but maybe someday I'll use the recipes...)
TODOs: 1. Stamps and mail bills 2. Partially declutter car once I get home 3. Play date
Have good afternoons/evenings, all!

Hey everyone! Congrats and big hugs on all you've accomplished Tadas: - folded laundry in dryer (set basket in kitchen for ds13 to take upstairs, basket promptly fell over ) - rebooted dryer with towels - rebooted washer with wet stuff from bathroom hamper -- lots of mildew or mold. hope nothing is ruined. washing with vinegar in there to hopefully "fix" the problem - decided to fix meatballs and elbow mac with some sort of sauce for dinner. - called a friend on the phone and chatted while i folded laundry Todo's: - start dinner (noodles in pot, meatballs in oven) - finish clearing the table off (got about 1/2 way earlier) - BUILD AN ARK -- lots of rain over here,
