Good afternoon. Congrats Carol on getting the taxes done. I didn’t get very much done today because we were supposed to get together with family who came to viisit their daughter but they couldn’t make firm plans and I just used that as an excuse to get nothing done. I did finish up some cards I’m making for church. I don’t do well with open ended plans.
Monday possibilities:
—finish cards🧚‍♂️
—meeting at church🧚‍♂️
—practice piano🧚‍♂️
—update budget🧚‍♂️(partially done)
—try and get set plans with family for tomorrow🧚‍♂️
—wind down

Good Tuesday noon.... I sure do hear you on the "open ended plans".
I have added a specific task re: the feral cats in my neighbor's yard that a couple of us neighbors have been continuing to feed. The neighbor is now in assisted living elsewhere and will not be coming back, so his family has been emptying the house, readying for sale I assume. Family said they've been advised not to put out food anymore and that the cats will just "go away"....not a good solution, IMO. So, I will at least call the Humane Society and inquire as to what, if anything, can be done.
Tuesday possiblities:
--critters âś…
--call Humane Society re: feral cats
--laundry âś…
--declutter plants a little & sweep office/exercise area âś…
--empty one box or bag from office or plant room
--bookkeeping âś…
--practice
--walk (beautiful weather!)âś…
--wind down earlier!âś…

Happy Weekend! I tried to post from my phone yesterday but didn't succeed....that screen is just too small, I'm sure I touched the wrong thing, LOL!
Our neighbor's family has apparently hired someone to finish cleaning out his house. There's a big dumpster in his driveway, being rapidly filled with old boxes & junk. I can't believe there was still so much "stuff" in that house, it didn't look that big from the outside! Any good stuff, i.e. furniture & household items, was already carted away by family over the last few weeks or put at the curb (and immediately picked up!). We did manage to snag a sturdy metal shelving unit from the curbed items. I really need to do something about the feral cats... another neighbor & I've still been feeding them. There's one stray kitty in particular that I wish I could adopt, but we have allergies. And I don't know if it's possible anyway, that is, I don't know if she could ever be happy as an indoor cat.
Saturday/Weekend possibilities
--WW studio âś… still "free" but I have no more cushion...at my "healthy wt" target
--birdsâś…
--cats âś… feeding them once a day, in the evening, after people have left the premises..I still need to call Humane Society on Monday
--email decluttering - in progress!
--declutter 1 box or bag
--laundry âś…
--church âś…
--walk or workout âś… 1 mile indoor walk. It spritzed on and off all day
--wind down early! âś… still having a little trouble falling asleep, and then the sun wakes me up early...
Be well!
Carol
