Good morning :)

Had hopes my hoarder would do something, anything around here today.
He has gone off somewhere.
Maybe he will return soon but probabally won't.
He wants me to wash his clothes. I don't want to.
The kitten keeps jumping, flying at me and digging in with his claws to hold on. I grab him and he play wrestles and bites me. He bites hard. I have almost used up an entire bottle of iodine.
Then he stalks my big kitties risking life & limb.
He is persistent. ;P

I have no plans for today.
Going to eat watermelon and maybe watch something on Netflix. :)

I keep looking for stuff to add to the June Challenge but it's hard to find stuff that's mine that I don't want or need any more.
Feeling like breaking the rules and tossing something of his. lol ;)

Have a great first Sunday of summer!
And remember ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP is tonight. :)

Hello Hello Hello :D

For some reason the wasp population here has really died down.
I am not complaining. :D
This gave me the courage to walk barefoot through the grass! :D
What a wonderful feeling! :D

Diane, whatever you put out for free will be grabbed up and people really like christmas stuff and it would be nice if that stuff was out of your way, over & done with.
Happy your charity will make donation pick ups for you. :D

Lynn, hoping everything smoothes out for you at work. Please take care of yourself and stay hydrated.

Hi Roxie :)


WAY TO GO! Everybody on all you have been doing!
Love reading about all your days. :D

Hello All,
Sorry haven't been posting lately, but I've got to work on my meditation time. To save time I'm not going to say how she's accusing me of acting like her brother was to her mother being verbally abusive and controlling, that is a story that will turn out to be a book.

As for the new job, the only day I worked for a short time was that Tues last week. I was suposed to be there for 12 hours but a few hours that I was there I began to feel dizzy and not feeling well due to the heat. The line supervisor had said that I should go home. When I had arrived there, there was too many wokers and there wasn't a real hands on job for me to do as a packer so I ended up sweeping up under the machines of where I needed to but it wasn't really that important. That same day she had said that I could work 3rd shift from 6:20p to 6:30am. I had already been up since 2am to work from 3:30a to 4p which didn't happen, so I had to turn down that opportunity due to lack of sleep and my own safety. I am going to call her tomorrow and ask if there is any work for me for either the 12hr shift 1st shift or any 8hr shift to work. At this point I'd rather take any shift to work at all and hope to get put on a schedule for more steady work. If I'm on a 12hr shift I would only work 3 days a week. An 8hr shift is different though.
Just so frustrated and anxious to work.

Sunny, pretty day, and instead of going somewhere fun, I finished painting cabinets at one end of garage, and it took hours. Drove to thrift store for another huge drop off, and returned their 3 bins. Talked to supervisor and asked if they would pickup the next load, this is getting to be too much, she said of course they would, so that will be easier this week, knowing don't have to haul it. I was chatting with my hoarder friend today and she suggested I really should get rid of Christmas stuff, I said no one will take, then thought, what if I put it out and put it on craigs list, one bag at a time, maybe someone would pick it up. If not, I told her it is only 3 months until I can donate. The other suggestion was to take to Goodwill since they have more storage than other thrift stores, don't usually go to Goodwill because they pay their handicapped employees 23 cents---- to $4.00 an hour while ceo's get over $400,000 a year.

Whatever you might think of the comic George Carlin (language!), I keep remembering his routine about "Stuff," which I think could be a hoarder's theme. See if you can find it online and watch it. I laughed SO hard. And it is SO true, for everyone, not just hoarders.

What I like about summer? Blue skies, sunshine, wild animals out and about, newborn animals, birds singing (some amazing melodies) , the way the light sparkles on the water. I have to drive over a bridge over a lake to get home and when I glance at the water an immediate sense of calm falls upon me. Lovely.

Oh, dear, my sleep cycle is upside down again. I was up until 6am then slept until 5pm. This happens several times a year. It'll adjust eventually.

I'm happy to report that I brushed my teeth, did all the dishes, wiped down counters, opened two new packages and put away the contents, and bagged up some more books to go to donations.

Diane, thank you, that means a lot.

Hugs all around.

Good moring :)

Nice and quiet and cool here right now.
Cats have all had their breakfasts.
I have really fallen behind on house cleaning but that can wait.
The kitchen is clean and laundry caught up but the house is very dusty.
There is always so much dust living in the desert where the wind blows so much and our road is not paved. lol Oh Well ;)

I want to go to the grocery store today. Running out of almond milk and fruit and kitten chow.
Have my list all made up. Still need to get dressed but first I want to finish drinking my tea.

Sometime this weekend I want to search for more items to add to the June Challenge. :D

Wish I could toss some of his stuff, he has so much all heaped around here.
Last weekend he went to yard sales and brought home even more. :(

I would like to go to wally world (walmart) and buy a new pillow. Mine is so flat now that it's like having no pillow at all.
Washed it last month hoping that would fluff it up but it didn't.

Summer is officially here!
Everybody, make sure you enjoy it.
What's your favorite thing about summer?
I love sun dresses, sandals, fruit, flowers, birds and doing word puzzles in the shade. :)

Tillie and Roxie, been thinking about you both and hope things are going well for you today. You are both so supportive of others, and me, in particular, and I want to thank you, and hope you are both as kind to your self as you have been to others.

Hello gals. Tillie, happy you are feeling better and able to cook good food for you. Roxie, yes, SAD comes and I don't know what is wrong with me, today was going to be a fun day off. Well it was supposed to be sunny, woke up to rain!!!! Cloudy all day, being aware of SAD, made it through today. I went to the shed in back, put two gas lawn mowers that are prehistoric, on the garage roof and pushed them off, went around and pushed them down to end of driveway, also pulled the futon out and put it next to lawn mowers, then put box of tiles on dolly and pulled them down to put with others, as well as some other things, then went in and put on Craigs list, saying they are out there, come and get it. They were gone in an hour. Now know how easy it is to do this with other stuff don't want to haul anywhere. My friends husband came over, but I already had done this, so he gave me advice on sagging cabinets and helped me anchor them. We had a nice long chat, really nice. Then I decided to paint the cabinets in garage, some had one coat that I put on last week, got all outsides done. Was pooped when I finished so going to take the rest of the day off. It is already 4:30 so will take car full of donations in tomorrow and take tomorrow as my day off, since worked today, supposed to be sunny tomorrow. I totally spaced on 12 meeting, would have loved to take part, just forgot when painting. Also watered flowers and raspberries. My dishes have piled up again, so would like to do those today, so tomorrow can be a real day off.
So happy you all say whats going on in your life, helps to feel connected to you.

Hello everybody and thank you.

WAY TO GO! everyone for gettig things done! :D

Had to water outside this morning. Things were looking sort of wilted.
Then I needed to cook some foods to freeze so I can have ready to eat easy meals.
Otherwise I just snack on whatever I find laying around.
Got the kitchen all cleaned up too.
Now I need a shower.
Just taking a rest and checking in.
Went to Friday noon chat and got all caught up with Karl. :D

We have a major leak in the pumphouse now since he tried to fix the leaky faucet in there.
Oh well. :(
Maybe he will fix things right this weekend.

Off to shower now and then take a nap. :)

TTYL :D

Kara, good for the work you did get done! Every little bit helps, I know. I have to keep reminding myself, which is why reading these boards helps. Every post.

Tillie, you are sick? Do you know what or why? I'm concerned about you. You are so important to this website (at least to me). Rest as you need and if you need, please see a doctor. Hugs.

Diane, you sounded so sad about your friend saying no to helping. I understand. But remember there could be any number of reasons for the no and maybe it was only no at this time. You still have friends to help and they do help. You accomplish SO much, hon.

Also, with both SAD and CFS it is hard sometimes to figure out what is different or if I am "really" sick (as opposed to normally sick), if you know what I mean. When I lived in Illinois over a decade ago, I had a wonderful doctor who could look at me and know immediately I was "sick sick" as opposed to normally ill. I really miss her. Haven't had that kind of medical support since I moved for financial reasons. Most doctors around here don't have a clue what CFS is or how debilitating it can be.

I watched a documentary on the computer called I Remember Me, done by a fellow CFS patient. I looked at other CFS info. Many folks seem to recover. It has been more than a decade for me and things stay the same or get worse. I had all the shrinks examine me and all ruled out mental illness or malingering, including the "opposition's" shrinks (hence, I got disability claims allowed). It is very frustrating and sometimes scary, and isolating.

For myself, I am slagging behind. Just drooping. I know some of it was the SAD but not sure about the rest. I do know that yesterday I was feeling lonely, which is not something I typically feel. In fact, I rarely feel lonely. Not sure what to do with that other than to hang around the boards and read/post.

Hugs all around. You are all so important to me, and I look forward to coming here when I wake up each day.

Tillie, your post yesterday was the first in which you mention being ill and having challenges with fatigue and lack of energy. You always sound so active in your efforts at keeping your hoarder's hoard at bay, gardening, caring for pets,in addition to all the encouragement and support you dispense on all the boards. I hope there is someone that can give you a helping hand when you need it.

You are there with kindness for so many struggling people. Hopefully some of that flows back to you when need a lift.

Hi all, Tillie, sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Hope your headache is better. Yes, Roxie, do have SAD, grew up on rainy side of mountains, and had a tough childhood, now live on the sunny side, and a few cloudy days does affect me thanks for the reminder. tomorrow is trash pick up day so went out in garage to find stuff to put in garbage, was able to fill up the 95 gallon cart as well as the recycle cart, and they are out ready for pickup. as soon as they are picked up I will put them away then put futon out for free. already posted on craigs list for tomorrow. A guy friend is stopping by to help me get the lawn mowers down from shed in back for give away, and give me advice on how to fix saggy
cabinets, tomorrow at 9:30am. Nervous about his comments about the hoard.
Once garbage full, went through nursing tops and bottoms to give away, now in car, car is stuffed.
It was a long day, got a lot done.
Today on the radio in between songs, she said, you can tell who are your true friends are when you really need help. I cried, thinking about a close friend who said "no" when I asked her to help me for an hour. She is the one I spent all the time helping her find a place for her aunt to live, have never asked for a favor so was shocked she said no. I talked to another friend who helped me through the sadness and pain. some of it is the huge change, of letting go of my stuff that has been a buffer from the world, a false sense of security, I am grieving the loss of my stuff, and the loss of time it has consumed, purchasing, moving it, and now sorting it, feel like I have lost years of my life with stuff, and now when friends are needed, I see I only have a few real friends. this will improve, just hard this week. Will be nice tomorrow so will go to park with a river once the futon is picked up. So grateful for this site.

Kitten's phote is posted in Vet clinics, animal shelter and grocery store.

My whole house is a cat TOY.
Boxes, climbing posts, tube tunnels, paper bags, stringy things with bells attached, balls, bells, small stuffed animals, crinkly pieces of paper, empty toilet paper tubes, cat beds, hidey hole cat places, scratch trees & boxes, a cat tent, etc.....
He plays with all this.
He is extremely active for 5 whole hours then takes a brief nap and starts all over again.
I am not well and have very little energy which the kitten uses all up.
There are days when I am too sick to even get up out of bed. Some days my hoarder has to take the kitten to work with him because I can't even care for myself.

There is nothing wrong with the kitten it is just that this is kitten season and there are so many unwanted kittens everywhere.

Tillie, kittens are a handful. I suggest one of those fishing pole type toys and 10-20 minutes of vigorous play each day with it. That helps it expend the excess energy. Also, adventure toys like cardboard boxes with various holes cut out, anything it can bat around the floor, anything it can climb on (boxes again) will help. Sounds like the kitten is nearly ready to place with someone else. Perhaps a local shelter will allow you to do a "courtesy posting" with picture on their petfinder dot com listings. We do that for cats and also even dogs sometimes.

Diane, you are doing super work and doing much more than most folks every day. You deserve a break. Do you maybe have SAD? I do and a couple days of rain will bring me down, make me sad and tired. Even overcast days (multiple) can do that. I do take meds but I sometimes still get that effect.

MayMay: I meant BARE skin, not BEAR skin. LOL Love my typos sometimes. Used to laugh at work a lot. Looked like a nut but I had fun.

Karl, helps will make mistakes at times so you just have to roll with it. No they should not be tossing stuff without your approval, but ... Hey, keep up those 15 minutes, they are working for you and will get your out of a mess and help keep from remessing.

Speaking of which, I fear a backslide for myself. Little energy and I look about and see the beginnings of mess. AAAAAAARrghhh. Save myself!

Hello :)

Diane :)
ENJOY YOURSELF today! :D

Hi MayMay :)

Hi Karl :)
Good plan for getting the trash gone! :D
Sorry the helpers tossed stuff before asking you about it.
Hope you can get a start on the kitchen today.
You have really been doing GREAT! :D

Here it is almost noon and I am still not dressed.
That kitten wears me out immediately after I release him from the kennel.
Running, jumping, climbing & biting on my flesh, annoying & chasing the big cats who want to do him great bodily harm. :(

I have/had some plans for today.
First I need to take some aspirin for this tension headache.
Maybe I should get dressed?
Probably should brush my hair, wash my face and brush my teeth. ?
Kitten is sleeping now.
Maybe I will just sit here quietly for a while.

Some things probably need watering outside. Afraid to go out, the cats might hurt the kitten if I'm not here to prevent it.
He screams and rattles the gate when I put him in the kennel while the sun is shining.
At night he just goes to sleep.

One bit of good news. My hoarder got a promotion that includes working locally again and doesn't have to commute to work any more.
Somebody resigned and the position opened up.
He used to work locally but the state down sized and he was transferred rather than being let go.

O.K. it's noon now.
I will gather my thoughts that the kitten has scattered all over the room. lol

Hope everybody's day is going well.

I'm backlogged, but it's time to say something here.

After my helpers left, but before the inspection, I had a lot of trash next to the garage; I took some of it to the curb last week, but didn't have room for everything. Tonight I took more of it -- but first I looked through it, because I'd noticed a few things had gone missing. Yep -- my helpers had tossed some stuff without asking me first. It's not devastating, just annoying. They'd even tossed some food (NOT spoiled) that I'd been planning to eat. *Scowl*

I took most of the remaining trash out to the curb tonight; what's left can either go out next week, or I'll drop off bits and pieces in public trash receptacles as I go out to run errands.

I haven't been able to start in on kitchen cleanup yet. I think there's some of it that I could do on my own at any time, but getting the helper crew back wouldn't hurt, either -- as long as I've already stowed any "keepers" to make sure it won't be mistaken for trash this time.

Almost 7am here, and I've been up all night, trying to do four things at once. I'll sleep in, and maybe I can work on preliminary kitchen cleanup in the afternoon. I'll see how I feel.

Hey diane,

GOOD FOR YOU! You have been working so hard on getting rid of stuff lately. You TOTALLY DESERVE A BREAK! HAVE FUN tomorrow and Friday. :)

((HUGS))

Hey Roxie,
Now you made me want to go skinny dipping. Lol. ;)

Thanks Tillie and Dianne, I really needed those hugs and encouragement. I have done nothing but chat with friends tonight, and play computer games, and watch TV. So strange how when today was so terrible, I just knew that is all I would feel, and already I feel better. Friday, no rain, so will put free stuff out by road, already put on Craigs list that would be out there by noon on Friday, then will go to a park on river and go for a walk. I plan to meet a friend at her aunts for a quick hello tomorrow, unless she works late. Need to connect with friends and nature.

(((hugs))) Diane

You are just worn out and rainy days are not helping either.
Pamper yourself. Relaxing bath or foot soak.
Eat properly. Hot oatmeal always puts me to sleep. Have a nice snack before bedtime.
Take time off from the house. Get out somewhere.
Even just sit in a coffee house and nurse a cup.

Happy the java update fixed your problem with chat too. :D

Thanks Tillie, I am so overwhelmed and sad today, seeing how bad this room is, it is so jam packed, I actually thought "it may not be worth going on, I will never complete all this" it is so painful.
I have done 3 loads of laundry, watered all plants in the yard plus hours in the dungeon. I think I have to quit for now, I am just too sad to do anymore. This is my worst day in quite awhile. I am still not getting enough sleep, which is catching up with me, still waking up at 5 and my normal bedtime is 11, last two nights went to bed at 10, couldn't fall asleep until after 11, really need to sleep until 7am to feel good, just worn out and feel so alone today. I talked to one friend, didn't tell her much, she was on her way to a hike with her company from England. It is supposed to rain again today and tomorrow, so can't put stuff on deck to sort until Friday, don't want it in living room, and bedroom is so packed and still smell mold, sorry I sound so negative, just a very difficult day.

Diane,
Enjoy your home made soup and please don't push yourself.

Sounds like there is a lot of decisions to be made about all the stuff. That is such hard taxing work.

Regular breaks, regular meals & snacks are necessary. You know this. ;)

(((hugs)))

Good the other dog is gone, easier with just one dog. Started in big bedroom again this morning, after 3 hours reached the big closet and started pulling stuff out, it is so stuffed, probably over 50 scrubs, and don't plan to do nursing anymore other than flu shot clinics in fall, maybe last time this year. More Christmas stuff, 3 tubs of it, tons of sweaters, skirts etc.
So many decisions to make. I found a hole in wall by floor, that I had duct taped years ago, mice went right through it and now know to stuff with steel wool etc. Went to pull up carpet in there, no pad, so he glued it to boards, so will get a screwdriver and see if I can pry it up and look for mold. I am taking a long break, reached the end of my rope when I saw how much junk was crammed in there.
Bedroom and closet are lavender, I painted it 3 to 5 years ago. Closet had only one coat, so once I get everything out and figure out carpet, will probably paint it to seal in stink, after I use vinegar water wash. This is not a one day project for sure, Thanks Tillie for all your help. Sounds like you are doing great. I know I need to take it easy today. It has been cloudy and cold here too, even made a fire in wood stove this morning, cold with window open in there. Looks like the sun might peak out, if it does, I am heading outside for awhile. I made a BIG pot of soup yesterday on top of everything else, so have such a treat to eat today, haven't been eating well for a few days, so plan to change that today.

Good morning :)

The weather has gotten strange again.
This morning is cold! And it probably won't get much warmer all day. LOL

My plans for today...
Do cat chores, already fed them.
Water the lilac hedge.
Cook some food then clean the kitchen.

Then I plan to do some work on my doll house. :D
The 4 main rooms are all furnished. There is a kitchen, bathroom, parlor, and reading room.
There is no bedroom because I never had any furniture for one.
I found a tiny bed so now I can make the loft area under the slanted roof into a bedroom. :)
Yesterday I put up wall paper in that space.
Had a tiny electric lamp so I wired it in. Made a pretty lamp shade for it with multi colored glass beads.
Have a tiny treadle sewing machine and the teeny dollhouse dollhouse in the new room.
Planning to make a mattress and covers for the bed out of some silk fabric scraps.

It is fun having a place of my own even if it is very small. ;)

Hi Kara and Roxie :)

Tillie and Diane, congratulations on how much you are being able to accomplish!

MsyMsy what the heck is a Mens Shed?

Oh, and skinny dipping is the most wonderful feeling...all that water slipping by your bear skin. I grew up Finnish-American where we'd take a sauna then go jump in the cold lake. Youza. It was wonderful

Yesterday I got the big laundry bin down to the street for weekly pick. And I brushed my teeth. Three out of four days now. yah!

LMAO! No, I've never gone skinny dipping before. I'm kind of shy when it comes to doing stuff like that. Lol. :)

Do you also wear a bathing suit when you go skinny dipping? lol ;D

Thanks diane! :)

Tillie,

OMG! That is exactly what I do when I give Cory and Matt a bath. I just get in the shower with them. I always wear a swimsuit though. Lol. :)

My boyfriend always makes fun of me for it. Lol. He'll always say stuff like, "why do you always wear a swimsuit whenever you bathe Matt and Cory? Who cares if they see you naked. They're just dogs." Lol. :)

WOW! Diane

You did some amasing adding to the June Challenge! :D

I am hoping that airing out the bedroom is what that room needed to get rid of the heavy mold smell. Closed up rooms always smell worse because the air is stagnant.

Sorry the dog gave you a hard time. :(

I think a heavy old futon should be counted as more than one item since it was so hard for you to move.
WTG! you are like Wonder Woman.

Tomorrow take it easier. Remember to play. (((hugs)))

The way I used to wash 2 cocker spaniels was to get naked in the tub with both dogs.
Get them wet and all lathered up.
Rinse them with the hand held shower head.
Then I would open the bathroom door and they would both run out where I had my son waiting with towels to dry them.
Then I would take a shower myself. :D

When I was all dressed again I would start brushing and combing them out.

I don't think I could give 3 dogs a bath in one day. You are amazing.

Hey diane,

You think giving one dog a bath takes a long time?... Try giving 3 dogs a bath all on the same day. It's exhausting! And by the time your done giving the baths, the bathroom will look like a tsunami. Lol. ;)

Snuggles absolutely hates getting baths, and Matt and Cory both love getting baths. So what I normally have to do is chase Snuggles around until I'm finally able to catch him; and then give him a bath first. And then after Snuggles is done being bathed, I give Matt and Cory their baths. :)

I always have to give Snuggles his bath first. because if I don't, then Cory and Matt will want to jump into the tub with Snuggles while I'm bathing him. Lol. :D

hello everyone, got up early and sorted stuff in bins from bedroom, filled my car with stuff, filled 3 bins I borrowed from thrift store, so will return tomorrow or the next day. Today dog will be picked up so had to give him a bath. He ran under daybead, couldn't get him out. Had to take heavy futon off then turn frame on its side to get him then he tried to bite me, I was ready to bite him, took so long to catch him. Bath and drying him took so much time. Then he was picked up and I had to vacuum and put things back together, decided I didn't want that heavy old futon any more so hauled it out to garage to put out with "free" sign, on Friday, when rain will stop. My dog peed on it a few times lately, not sure what that was about, figure the puppy from across street peed so she did too. Anyway, glad I decided to get it out of here. It was so heavy and awkward should have waited for help. Didn't spend much time in the big bedroom, brought stuff to living room to sort and clean. It doesn't seem to stink of mold as much today, but maybe because I didn't spend much time in there. Tomorrow will do more of the same. will have to deal with more clothes tomorrow. Feel good about what I did today, just so busy with the dog and futon, took up time.

Hey Tillie,

Actually Matt and Cory have been great with helping me train Snuggles. :D

Because Snuggles is always following Matt and Cory around and mimicking their behaviors. Like if Matt and Cory go outside, then Snuggles will want to go outside too. And if Matt and Cory walk up and down the stairs, then Snuggles will do it too. :)

Matt and Cory are wonderful big brothers. :)

Here is a link to a website in case anybody is interested. :)

Hi MayMay :)

After I have trained one animal (cat or dog) I just let them teach any newcomers.
The animals learn better from animal teachers than from us dumb humans. ;)

Hey Tillie,

I'M HERE! :D

I've just been super busy taking care of Snuggles lately. :)

Right now I'm in the process of training him so that he will be able to do all of the same stuff that Cory and Matt are allowed to do; like go to work with me and walk around without a leash on. :)

Right now I'm in the process of potty-training him, teaching him how to walk up and down stairs, and training him to follow me around without having to be on a leash. :)

Where is everybody today? :(

Good morning :)

Have watered most everything in the yard.
Fed the cats, scooped litter boxes.

Today my plan is to systematically look through cupboards, cabinets, drawers and nooks & crannies for items to add to my June Challenge total.
As I search I will also wipe off any dust in these areas and make sure the areas are tidy & neat.

Weather forecast for today is wind and blowing dust. :(
Nice day to stay inside.

Scooter, the kitten, is feeling much better today. Still a little sore at the injection site.
Veterinarian said he is doing very well considering how ill and malnourished he was. No more medications but now he has a daily cat vitamin to help build up his immune system.

TTYL :D

WAY TO GO! for tooth brushings going on! :D
I was a surgical assistant specializing in oral maxillofacial surgery and good oral hygeine is important to your overall good health. :D

Evening time about 6 adult quail came walking through my yard.
With them I counted 19 teeny tiny newly hatched babies and one other a little bit bigger. :D

Roxie, keep aiming for those gold stars! :D

Diane, so happy you haven't seen any leaks! :D
WAY TO GO! on all you accomplished today!
Sleep well tonight and remember to take those breaks and play tomorrow. ;)

The kitten got his shots today and he's sore and tired. Sleeping all cute now in my bed.

heavy downpour, checked ceiling in bedroom, no sign of leak
went out in garage and found the wire hangers etc.
did dishes
put shoes I wear in shoe holder, couldn't find them when needed shoes for work last winter, so this year they are easy to find
sore throat tonight, not sure if it is because of mold or dust, enjoying relaxing the rest of the evening

Diane, I'm hanging around today trying to support "Me" on the Welcome board thread. She's in distress.

My system of putting one slash mark on my calendar to indicate I took my meds has always helped. Now putting another slash to indicate I've brushed my teeth is very helpful. Like a gold star, I want that X to show up! LOL

Thanks Roxie, I brushed my teeth last night when I didn't want to because of things I read on here, like you brushed this morning, good for you, maybe I will brush twice today, who knows?

went back in, feel like I am describing a war zone---got 12 more exercise tapes, then cleaned off shelfs, so many cute things on there, will be difficult to decide, but for now they are all together to be decided upon in living room and rack is empty, too tired to move or clean it right now, so another break, maybe that will wait until tomorrow or, at least much later, need to go outside fo my break and that could last for a few hours. Might go out and paint some boards that is always fun, why you ask? I want to put them up in garage where roof is a little crooked and where it is starting to sag, love seeing if I can fix things. Well I see the bedroom is going to take all week, at least so need some fun, and no shortage of paint, that is for sure, or boards for that matter. Need to donate more paint not today though. Thanks Tillie, know I need to take everything out of there, but needed to be reminded that is the right thing to do, just so much stuff. Not all today though, thanks. Tomorrow morning I can hit it again. Did accomplish enough for today, need to keep reminding myself.
