GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY! 😀

Wishing you all a GREAT weekend! 😀 [/color

Today I've been thinking of each of you, but also the regular posters who actually haven't posted in awhile, like Diane. I miss them and wish they'd check in just to say hi.

Raining again today, blast. Hugs and clinks.

Hi all, sounds like we've been getting lots of things done - yay! 🙂

Yesterday I finally started tackling the bedroom I am staying in (having moved in with a friend during May - what a month that was!). If you've ever moved in a hurry, you know how it can get all piled and cluttered in the new place very quickly. I've felt guilty for not tackling it sooner. But I think it took me awhile to be mentally able to. Today I feel I can tackle the other side of the room and if I do that, I should be able to get things put away neatly and have FLOOR instead of a precarious PATH to walk on in there!

Tillie, I can relate to the "microsorting" - I do that, LOL! 😀 I guess we anxious hoarder types just have a need. With me, that part is the OCD, I suppose - and I can get so absorbed in the detail. It's satisfying in a way, too, once it's done. Too bad it takes a lot of time - if it didn't slow a person down so much when there's a huge amount of other stuff to go through. Folks like me need a time machine we can step into to do those projects and then come back out when done and not be behind on the rest of it! Ha ha!

CM, nice to hear you were able to deal with a lot of "loose ends." Tillie and Roxie, thanks as always for the encouragement.

I got things off yesterday to a fairly good start in terms of my original plans: got laundry done. It wasn't until I read the message board this morning that I even remembered about the 2nd and 3rd goals I'd listed for yesterday. (Definitely didn't do the paperwork goal yesterday.) I know that one thing I did do yesterday was look for certain needed and temporarily-missing items of clothing. Ack! Today, while I have some extra time and space to myself to do some sorting, I'm going through my clothes and trying to get them in some (better) type of order.

Tillie, I am so happy to hear that "he" is actually getting rid of things! It seems like a miracle! It's great to hear about a truck carrying items "out" instead of truckloads coming "in." Yea!

Hugs to everyone.

Good Morning Everybody! 🙂

Hi LR2014 🙂
Hope all your plans went smoothly and you got to have that wonderful feeling of "WTG! a job well done." 😀

Hi CM 🙂
WAY TO GO!!! for all your accomplishments! 😀
Hoping you do start swimming. That is one of the best exercises and feels good too. 😉

Hi Roxie 🙂 "clink!"
Your cabin sounds like heaven on earth! 😀

Was not home much yesterday.
Now that my services are no longer needed I am free to leave here for hours at a time. 🙂
Spent lots of time at neighbor friend's house that I am watching for them while they are away.
Filled their bird feeders, washed and refilled humming bird feeders and watered house plants (there are a lot).
Sorted out their mail, stuck it in a big envelope and took it to the post office.
While in town I made my rounds and reconnected with a few acquaintances.
The rains we had did a lot of flood damage to homes and businesses and roads & streets still have large lakes covering them.
After so many years of drought the ground has forgotten how to absorb moisture.
Today I am planning to attend a bizarre that the charity thrift shop that provides free food (no questions ever asked) to anyone in line is holding.
There will be booths set up featuring sellers of wonderful, unique and exotic products.
Sounds like fun. 😀
I am enjoying my newfound freedom.
He is still off work. The surgeon won't release him until the last bit of incision has healed properly.
Meanwhile, he has been sorting though his hoard, tossing ruined things and loading up the truck with items he has decided he can live without to donate.
The process has been slow with a lot of "micro sorting" of tiny objects like screws and nails.
But he gets a WAY TO GO! for what he has accomplished. 😀

Wishing you all a safe and fun weekend. (((hugs)))

I got up at 5:40 and did my nebulizer, then went back to bed. Just got up again, did another neb, took my pills and recorded my vitals (they are fine).

Making coffee and it is almost ready. :::Clink:::

Good afternoon or evening everyone . . .

Several people here who like to sew - so do I! I was a bit disappointed that today I didn't get to sew with my girlfriends as we do most Thursdays. Maybe next week.

I did accomplish some tasks, though - appointment making, calling to cancel my old cell phone, etc. Those "loose ends" that I tend to procrastinate. So I'm glad about that.

Weather where I am has been beastly hot but is supposed to change to rainy by tomorrow or the next day. Summer is not my favorite season and with moving and all the stress I feel like I missed out on spring. But maybe now I can keep another resolution and start going to the gym again - I do love to swim especially. So that's a goal, I guess, to actually make it to the gym, remember the items I need to bring with me (I'm a forgetful sort, so this is a stress trigger), and then the next goal will be to make it a regular thing.

Good morning. Roxie, I'm glad you had some pretty weather to enjoy yesterday. Iced tea clinks!

Tillie, thanks for the encouragement. I hope your hanging-out-the-clothes plan works and that you get more rain! Glad also that you yourself didn't have to make the drive to Reno this time!

Among my plans for the day today are (1) to work on laundry, (2) to spend at least 20 minutes on my bedroom area, and (3) to spend at least 20 minutes on organizing some paperwork.

Have a good day!

Good Morning Everybody! 🙂

Hi LR2014 🙂
WAY TO GO!!!! 😀
Looking forward to reading your update on that family home.
And WTG! for even the tiny bit accomplished in your room. Remember those tiny bits add up!:D

Hi Roxie 🙂
Happy you enjoyed the lovely day, YEA!!! 😀
Nice change, accompanying Brother to his appointment this time. 🙂
Tea "clink!"

Yesterday was hot and stifling muggy here.
Then last night a thunderstorm rolled in.
Was wonderful laying in bed listening to the falling rain and thunder and watching the lightning flashes.
During the night we got almost a whole inch of rainfall!!! 😀
More thunderstorms are predicted for today so to encourage them I have the clothes line all hung with freshly washed linens. 😉
Happy now that I did not wash the windows last week.
Today he is off to his doctor appointment in Reno. I stayed home.

🙂

Good morning all. Coffee clink.

Hoping to hear from each of you.

Tillie, I'm glad you got some sewing done! Can't say that I've played a lot, but I'll keep in mind that you've said to do so. I did just finish preparing a yummy pitcher of tea. It's not exactly "playing," but it is something I enjoy.

lex, it's nice to hear about a cleared off kitchen table!

I made a tiny bit of progress yesterday on my bedroom, but only a tiny bit. Much progress has been made on that "family home." I should have some extra-good news to report about that situation in a few weeks.

Hugs to all.

HI! Everyone 🙂

WAY TO GO!!!! Lex for cleaning off the table! 😀

Spent today doing his laundry and sewing.
So far I have finished four different sewing projects I had to put off since March.
Have one more project to finish then I can start on starting new sewing projects.
I have the fabric and patterns already for making a few dresses and night gowns. 😀
But tomorrow I have to wash dishes and should do some other things around here.
I hate always having to be the "grown up" cause I just want to play all day. 😀

Hope you all had time to play today. 🙂

Hello everyone, hugs and hope everyone is well.
Tillie that is awesome! I love to sew 🙂
LR glad you got your car back and way to go on vaccuming!
I just finished cleaning off the kitchen table, I can actually see it now!! Also got some sweeping done. Now time to go to work sadly.
Have a great day everyone!!

Good Morning Everybody! 🙂

TTYL 😀

You mean we can actually prevent problems before they get started, Tillie? What a concept!!

Yes, my vehicle is doing just fine now. I was able to use it to go out of town yesterday for a (happy) family event. And yes, I did finally get some good rest. Thanks for the well wishes.

Just got finished doing some vacuuming in one room and am getting ready to do some vacuuming and straightening up in my bedroom. I will probably also manage to squeeze in a little bit of fun this evening.

Hugs to everyone.
