WAY TO GO!!!! Diane 😀

hello everyone, good for you Tillie, and thanks. I found the title to vehicle. Good thing I pulled all files out to go through, it was in a file of massage gift certificates, I had made to sell when I worked at a gym years ago. How did title get in there? Must have fallen in when I was doing something else. No way I would have ever figured out it was in there, thank goodness I was willing to get rid of those old papers, or would have had to order new title. Amazing to me that I see the good in this.
Tonight I found more donations and put all books etc in a bag and will take to thrift store soon. I worked outside most of the day. No wind today but fires are not permitted today, and I was ready to burn baby burn, all those papers, so found more tonight to burn, maybe tomorrow. I took everything out of car and planned to clean it today, but worked in yard too long, tomorrow hopefully.

OK!
Got more than half the clippings gathered up & moved to the side yard! 😀

Good morning 🙂

Cats are all fed and Scooter is medicated. 🙂
Have to get up early before 'S' leaves for work so he can help me get the drops into Scooter's eyes.
He needs to hold him still and keep his paws down while I hold his head and open his eyes as I put the drops in them.
A two person/four handed job.

Hi Diane, Thank you 🙂
GOOD LUCK! finding the title. 😉
WAY TO GO!!!! with sorting and tossing and organizing and filing as you look for it! 😀

Got house cleaned yesterday so after I do a few daily tidying ups the rest of the day is mine to do with as I choose.
Bit of frost covering things outside this morning.
But looks like it will turn into a nice sunny day.
Still have those clippings laying all over the garden area.
Might get them gathered & moved today, maybe. 😀

Smile, giggle, dance a little today. 🙂

Happy finger is going to heal.
Got up this morning and started on bins of papers. I had files of stuff in many places. Spent 4 hours this morning then to class. Another couple of hours tonight. Have filled one garbage can with things to burn, papers with private info, one large bag of paper recycles. Living room floor looks like an office moving party. I still have not found vehicle title. Pulled all files out of file cabinet, will take a few times to get rid of most of it. Each time, get rid of more. I am grateful I lost title to motivate me to get rid of all this junk. I have started donation pile of binders, books etc. Even though it looks like bomb went off in here, I know it will be good tomorrow, just keep at it until, files are all organized in one cabinet and the rest gone.
Started cleaning car today that is when I realized
title is missing in action. And thus began the file purge. 53 mph wind gusts also helped me stay inside and work on this. Praying paper purge continues.

Good morning 🙂

Hi Tat & TY 🙂
Wonderful that you went out visiting! 😀
It truly is amazing all we can accomplish when we play "Beat The Clock".
And those quick little tasks really do add up.
WAY TO GO!

Hi Diane & TY 🙂
BIG WAY TO GO! for no shopping! 😀
It is so very very wonderful that after all the hard work you have done in your yard to know that this Spring you will be able to just enjoy the season! 😀

Having kept the finger bound and iced has done wonders. Can now bend the joint a little without pain, so looks like I lucked out. 🙂
Got the litter boxes all washed out yesterday and today I will be doing the usual weekly house cleaning.
Bathroom, wash floors, vacuum & all that other stuff.
We had some rain here yesterday.
Was nice but didn't help with the drought.
The snow pack is 80 percent below normal.
This is the warmest and driest winter I have ever known since moving here back in the late 1970s.

Wishing everybody a great day! 😀

Ouch Tillie. Sounds like you are doing the right things so take care of your finger. Rest, ice, compression elevate. If joints bend and finger is straight, should be ok. Tat sounds like a wonderful day visiting.
It is still warm here so rain not snow, 9" piled up made me laugh Tat. I was outside most of the day finishing some work. Wind helps me find lots of stuff to do.
This will be the first Spring that I will have clean up done, and can just enjoy spring. Wish I had more accomplishments to report, of all the things in here completed. At .least no shopping, hooray for that

Yikes on the finger Tillie--not good. Diane, what a lot you accomplished! Amazing! I spent today at my 97 year old friend's house then went to mom's to watch tv. She's slipping so I helped her out. Now I'm home and it's snowing, lightly but steadily.

Keep up the good work ladies! Because of you, I accomplish and sometimes I don't, but I'll always be supported. How great is that?

PS. Sometimes I find I tackle something when I have a small amount of time. Waiting for BF, for example, sometimes gets me motivated to empty (and refill) dishwasher, orayve I'm waiting for news to start, do I'll quick shred the mail. I then say look, that only took 15 minutes. It helps. Mind games. I'm tricking myself into doing stuff.

Good morning 🙂

Hi Tatoulia 🙂
WAY TO GO!!! fixing that slow bathroom sink! 😀

Many times when I plan to do a task that I am dreading doing I find myself delaying it by accomplishing many other need-to-be-done tasks instead. 😉

Hi Diane 🙂
Happy you got outside and WTG! for all you did out there.
We all tend to not see things right in front of us year after year, until they are gone.
Then we enjoy the newly exposed areas so much we wonder, "what took so long?"

I hate removing living plants too and the birds here plant a LOT of things around my garden area.
Some of it is in an area where I don't mind but a lot of the plants are in the worst spots, so they have to either be transplanted or pulled out.

Yesterday I was holding onto the storm door with one hand and holding a squirming Scooter with the other while the winds were gusting.
Ended up smashing my left index finger in the door.
Hurts bad, is all black and blue and swollen.
Have it immobilized and just hoping it isn't broken or if it is broken hoping it will mend properly. 🙁

Today I need to scrub, scour and sanitize the litter boxes, this should be interesting to see how I do.
Scooter's eyes are responding quite well to the new eye medication.
Already he is in less pain and playing more. 😀

TTYL 🙂

Hi Tillie and Tat. Happy to hear you didn't get table cleared-----usually takes me two days to do a task I say I am going to do!! Did get all dishes done. Sun peaked out and outside I went. It was gusting to 48mph but worked outside anyway. I stacked all dry firewood and put new wood behind it and started making area stronger with bigger t'posts and more wire. Secured brown tarp better. I cut back a juniper shrub that I always have to walk around, talked myself in to getting rid of it, then put stepping stones down to the wood, soooooo much better and convenient. Then I dug up an area where grass and flowers were strangling a rose bush, I am throwing things away for practice. . yesterday my garbage can was full for pickup for the first time in awhile. I was happy today after a couple days not so happy. Sunshine, even for a few minutes makes life better, and a beautiful rainbow in between rain showers today. Yard looks better but I am still messy. Often do not see things that have been there for a long time. Once I cut some of that shrub off, it was obvious, I do not even like it, but if it grows, it has rights, more than I do, weird huh. Tomorrow I think I will chop some more stuff and throw more stuff away from house and garage, just for practice. Sure do appreciate you being here.

Saturday night, almost 11:00 PM. I haven't touched the coffee table yet. But I did fix bathroom sink which was running really slow. Glad to hear scooter is going to be okay. Poor little thing.

Oh, it he snow piles by my house are nine FEET tall not nine inches. I'd feel foolish about that mistake if it weren't for feeling foolish about saying I'd work on coffee table!

Much love to all .

Good Morning 🙂

One can search up an article about a Rhode Island woman buried in her Corvair in the late 90's!

Great song quote, Diane! Tillie I hope Scooter is okay. Any update ?

We have enough snow here to cute your drought, Tillie. Over 9" piles at the corner of my street. Really hard walking/cars can't see/pedestrians can't see.

I want the coffee table in the living room cleared this weekend. It is piled and piled and it is making me unhappy. Only then wi I feel worthy of cookies. I need to do this. It will make a huge difference.

I need to do taxes too, Diane. I bet while I'm cleaning coffee table I'll find most of the stuff I need.

Windy, Windy, Windy!!!!!!!! Several trees down in town. No problems on my property. More wind and rain on the way. I cleaned up some debris in yard. Brought in laundry from line. Brought in firewood. Country song says, "never saw a hearse with a trailer hitch" meaning we cant take stuff with us when we die. Thought it might motivate me to load up more donations, just no energy today. Recovering from work yesterday. Happy floors are clean. Have a few dishes I plan to wash. Sorted all papers for taxes, now have to organize them and add up different things. Would like to get that done tonight if possible. Just a slow day.

Good Morning 🙂

TTYL 😀

Thanks Tat, yes, lets have a cookie together and talk about how great the weekend will be!!!! Tillie we are on our way, to cookie ville.

Diane, that is a lot of patients to see. I know how exhausting it is to be "on" all the time. I'm always glad to get home to the kittycat where we talk about all we need is each other and a warm blanket. But now of course I need a warm cookie. Are you listening, Tillie?

YUM, I WANT A COOKIE OR THREE!!!!!! Work was good, got home and felt exhausted and sad. It is exhausting seeing 30 patients and being "miss wonderful". I enjoy it at the time then feel drained after it is over. Seeing your posts saved the day, just thinking of us baking cookies together.

I'm glad you got the sleep you needed. I baked brownies during the recent storm on the East Coast. Oatmeal cookies sound delicious!

WAY TO GO!!!! Tatoulia and Diane 😀

Managed to catch up on my sleep this time. 🙂
Other night I was not able to get much rest.
When I am tired I just can't think straight or make decisions.
Have no plans for today so I will look around and see what I want to do.
A big storm should be blowing into the area today and tomorrow.
Hope it brings lots of snow and rain, we need it so badly.
Also, I am all out of cookies and love baking them during cold wet storms. Makes the house so cozy.
Have all the ingredients ready to make oatmeal cookies with raisins and nuts. 🙂

TTYL 😀

Wow Diane! Congratulations!

Great Tat, you got so much done, and completed tasks!!!
Tillie you were a busy gal too, WTG.
It was grey here today so I used my day wisely, finished kitchen, bathroom, floors vacuumed to edges, one load of laundry washed and hung. started a bag of toss and bag of donate, was proud of myself staying at it and making progress. I can once again live in living area!! Finally took chicken off bones and put vegetables in and soup is almost done. Just took shower and washed hair. Cleaned up kitchen again after making soup. Work all day tomorrow at clinic so was good to have things livable again. Your encouragement made all the difference, thanks ladies.

Hello Diane and Tillie!

I straightened up the "library" area of my place. I took everything but the coaster off the small tables and picked up everything from the floor. I cleaned off the dining room table and hung up all coats and sweaters. Still more to go but shredded an entire box of receipts from many years ago and didn't look at any of them.

Yay! I'm back in the right direction! Thanks for helping orient me! Now I need to keep going!

Good Morning 🙂
All caught up on laundry and dishes.
Cats have had their canned food breakfast.
Litter boxes scooped, fresh water in their bowls.
Did a quick clean on the bathroom.
Floor needs vacuuming, that won't take long.
Then the house will be "good enough".
Sure, there are things that I could clean or dust but nothing is bad enough to worry about yet.
I am not one of those people who tries to have everything immaculate every minute of every day.
Good enough is good enough for me. 🙂

Down in the "Television Shows Looking For Hoarders"
is a post that "HOARDERS" is going back into production and they are looking for people.

Hi Diane 🙂
Yes I did enjoy today. Just hanging out here playing and even made popcorn and watched movies. 🙂
WAY TO GO! for fixing the hole and starting fixing up your living space. 🙂

Hi Tat 🙂
WAY TO GO!!! for finishing something! 😀

Sometimes it is hard to stay focused on one thing through it's completion.
I start doing something then I spot something else that needs doing and wander off and start on that and then see something else to do and wander off again,
and so on and so on and so on...........
Busy, busy, busy all day long with nothing to show for it. ;P

Hi Tat, I appreciate your honesty.
You just motivated me to start going through a bin of papers pulling out all the tax stuff. I did pay bills today.
Curious what you tackled tonight.

I am a mess of start then stop, Diane. I feel like all I do is come home from work and sleep. Not good.

Tillie, it's good to skip being an adult! It is a lot of work and you deserve some time off! For me, having grown up with a much younger and very ill brother, I sometimes think about how tough it is being the Well One. We all need a break! Glad you are taking yours.

I'm going to try to finish something, anything tonight,

Good plan Tillie, hope you are enjoying day.
I started cleaning up stuff and vacuuming this morning. Shook throw rugs, ran out of steam. I still have too much stuff, especially in winter with wood and kindling in living room for wood stove. I brought several things in from the garage to organize and then realized, not the right time to do this. Just trying to avoid housework. Thought of Tillie saying I micro organize, so need to put it all back in garage. When it stopped raining, I went out and finished working on area of fence that Max dug under.
Here I sit, maybe sitting is ok. Have not taken chicken off bones for soup which frustrates me, I start then do not finish things. At least I have started cleaning up living space again.
