Today I:

- unloaded, loaded, and ran the dishwasher
- washed 2 loads of laundry
- went to the thrift store and dropped off two boxes of donations
- went to the library and donated a box of books (they sell used books)
- went to work briefly to clean my office, since I have a meeting there in a few days

I am proud of myself for carrying all of the boxes of stuff out to the car myself, a whole flight of stairs. I usually ask someone to carry things for me, but this year I am trying to build my stamina. I also carried the laundry up and down the stairs myself.

How you guys doing?

I'm glad you got to read the whole book! That will be one item out.

I have had such a nice day. TotsDad and my dil helped me clean and move things around. He vacuumed, took trashes out, moved furniture around, fixed my broken table, washed the dining room table, and cleaned the entry way. It is so much better! I helped with moving things etc.

I placed a grocery pickup order and am leaving soon to get it so I can make dinner. They are going to help me cook, and my son and his gf will come over for dinner (we will have 10 people here). I am about to bake a pie as well.

I am thrilled I have had so much time off and finally feel like it was enough. And tomorrow is another day off which is great. I will work on my goals and my decluttering and cleaning tomorrow too.

I also dyed my hair this morning. I am trying to find a balance between leaving it natural grey and dying it a light blonde... the issue is when I let it go a really long time my hair is basically white, and I think it makes me look way older. So, we'll see what I end up doing but for now the light blonde is okay.

Happy new year!

I have been lazy today. Cleaned up a little, but mostly read a book (the whole book) I am not going to keep the book, so, that is progress.

Working on some planning for January. It is definitely going to be a month I need to get ahead of. Also some goal setting.

Dh goes back to work tomorrow. I go to Bean's house on Friday and back to school next week. I need to take Bean's family some things they forgot and some extra food.

Today I am starting off the new year right!

- slept in
- thawed meat for dinner
- changed the water filters on the faucet and in the drinking pitcher
- did some reading
- loaded and ran the dishwasher

I will be relaxing, celebrating, cooking, maybe running to the store, putting random items away, and working on new goals.

Happy New Year! Here is a new thread to start us off on the right foot.
