I can't get into chat today and don't know if it is my computer or not. Anyone else having problems with it? I want to work in 15 min. increments & would love to have partner... anyone? We can just come back in 15 min. & report what we got done or attempted, or whatever... Thanks, y'all. CD

Hi Cando -- I'm going to be working between hospital visits today -- I guess not much of a consistent buddy but I am having to get a few things done between -- which is a challenge since it's a ICU type visit schedule, my husband has the power of attorney (his dad is in critical condition) and I need to go with him every 4 hours and support him. At the same time things pile up here. I just wanted to post and encourage you -- if I can get stuff done in snatches between hospital visits -- I know you can too What I've done so far: BEFORE 8 am --- *fed cats *scooped litter *made bed AFTER 10 AM --- *Started jeans/shirts in washer - dried and put up eat healthy AFTER 1 PM --- Check what we have to eat - prepare whatever I need to AFTER 6 PM -- ? this is when I probably won't do much -- other than relax -- the last visit is 830 PM and that one is tiring -- however if there are dishes it won't be many and I can do that at least Clear any dirty dishes/get the kitchen "closed" I'm trying to do one thing at least that makes a difference each day -- today it's mainly the laundry which I have set a timer to follow up fast enough and make sure I get them dried and hung before going out the door. It feels good to at least get something done between each visit then go to bed at 10.

Hi Chris. Sorry to hear that you have hospital visits and folks not well, and about your FIL. Sounds like a rough time for you and your family. You've already done great so far today!!! I will start at 11:00am CST in USA. I hope some others join us. Thank you for joining me, Chris. CD

That 15 minutes went by much faster than the one doing the laundry! Seems like I didn't get hardly anything done. I spent that time decluttering Box #1 from next to my bed. Just dealt with 1 file folder of papers & a small handful of other papers. After the 15 minutes, dealt with the aftermath: *1 paper in trash *1 in shred bag *1 in recycle bag The rest I had to keep. These papers were all from 2003 - 2005. *Wasn't sure what to do with the panaramic x-rays of DD & DS's teeth before they had oral surgery. Don't think that I need them anymore, but can't seem to part with it due to the "just in case" thinking. Put it in medical folder in file cabinet in office. *Same thing with the papers showing that we paid off our first mortgage on this house. Scared to part with it "just in case". So, put it in Mortgage subfolder that is inside the Home folder in file cabinet. *Details of accident that my son was in when he was in Middle School (now in College). He was hit while riding his bike to school by 2 cars. Miraculously he was pretty much, okay, aside from scratches, bruises. Bike wasn't in too good of shape, though. And, his best friend that rode his bike with him to school was so shook up & upset & worried about my son that he had to miss the rest of the day of school & I had to go there and bring him home & take care of him. Put that paper in DS's file in my file cabinet in office. *there were a couple other medical things that I filed. *Receipts, statements & checkbooks were put in appropriate year's tax boxes. It could be that I can get rid of the 2003 stuff. DH and I have been so hesitant to get rid of tax stuff. He wants to keep them 7 years from the date that we filed the return. Not worth an argument with him. Drinking water... Next: Laundry, again. CD

Hi cando! Everybody just got kicked out of chat and now I am getting an error message. Looks like it's not just your computer. I think it may be the chat room's server from the error message. Anyway, it looks like you are doing really well. WTG!!! I'm going to go and attack the Paper Monster.

Next, will eat lunch & then 15 minutes on pile of stuff by my chair. CD CD

Chatroom outage info ...
UPDATE... it was just a brief outage of 10 minutes for an upgrade.
Regular chat has been running fine for the rest of the day.
I logged out of the temporary backup chatroom, as there seemed no need for it.

Well CRUD!!!! I was hoping to use chat to keep me grounded and not panic. Movers come in am and I have to have everything cleared for them to get furniture - they are getting the heavy stuff and tvs and such.
Right now - I'm taking a break from wiping down or clearing furniture as I am already coughing bad. Need to find the painters tape to mark electronics hookups. It's raining so I can't put anything in car or pod.
Maybe it will be back soon.
