bushlady, i'm glad your depression is lifting.

bushlady and darlene, i found both my depression and grief lifted more when i focused on things i COULD do and made plans for things to look fwd to

diana, sorry about your comp trouble. i'm glad you have 'built in' helpers

mary

Mary, you're right, it helps to have things to look forward to, and I think at the back of my mind is that I shall be going to visit DS and family sometime next week when I arrange transport.

Started taxes yesterday evening. Threw the sheets in the washer as well (cheaper hydro after 7 pm). Then left them in the washer! Made little felt hat for DGD's Barbie doll.

Today:
Dailies
Hang sheets in basement - DONE
Sulk over wintry weather - DONE (I know, some of you are probably getting worse).
Sulk over taxes - I resent the hours it takes to make silly calculations.
Dentist
Drug store
Dust upstairs
Look for more stuff to toss

Mary
You focus on so many things! Maybe a movie or something different to help you look forward to .

Yes, I am lucky my DS helps me with the computer. He had to play around with it a little.

Bushlady:
I see you are busy as always too! Loved the felt hat for Barbie doll. Do you do needlefelting? I worked on some the other day.
Have to concentrate on one or two crafts at a time or else I don't get anything done, just jump around.

Today:
Routines and ETEing
Wash throw rugs
Clean freezer
Gypsy to vet (recheck)
Vacuum bedroom/Will do it tomorrow
Work on cards I started
Beading
Have a good day all!

Thanks everyone for you kind thoughts. I appreciate the support.

I got quite a bit done yesterday. I just keep plugging away doing what needs doing.

- laundry (finish 1 load)
- d/w - empty clean dishes, start refilling
- MBR - sand filled spots on wall, add more fill if needed
- write down what I eat today (WW refresher)
- deal with more of my late DH's clothes (sell and/or donate) I've already dealt with the stuff that was ready to be tossed.
- deal with stuff that's still in my mother's former home (bring home the things I want to keep and take pics of the things that I want to sell)
- other tasks? I went for a walk - picked up local newspaper (a weekly one), chose fabrics for my MBR bedspread (I'm going to make it as a spread, not a quilt), went to the lumberyard to choose my paint color.

For today -
- more laundry
- remove furniture from MBR (DS helped me)
- quick vacuum of MBR carpet (it looked terrible- so much dust )
- d/w - continue filling, run if needed.
- buy paint
- prime bedroom walls where needed
- sort and toss unneeded stuff from bedroom (baby steps)
- PUPA in living room
- take pics at Mom's?
- other tasks?

I didn't post a list yesterday, but did the necessary things like take the trash cans to the curb, etc.

Felt light-headed during the evening, so, just did the minimum and rested.

I think I'll take it easy, today, too. So, minimum JDIs:

- put gas to the car
- do dishes
- bring trash cans in
- make phone calls
- some paperwork

Well Bless, you actually rested! I am so proud of you, but cocerned about the lightheadedness. Did you forget to eat with your busy days?

Darlene:
You are very busy. What color did you pick for the bedroom paint?

I decided to vacuum the bedrooms tomorrow. Just finished the throw rugs. Took Gypsy to the vet (had BP taken? and the poor little thing just shook thru the entire thing. Anyhow she is in great shape, have lower her meds, so thn things should be better for her. She is doing very well, I must say.

Good to hear that Gypsy is doing well, Diana.

Not too productive so far today as I woke up feeling grim, even though I thought I had slept well. One day I'll figure out why this happens from time to time. (No, I wasn't into the "sauce" either!)

Wash hair - DONE
e-mails - some done
Quick stroll in yard
Taxes
Visit friend
May clean the living room windows inside
Not feeling overly ambitious!

Diana, I never forget to eat (wish I did, though, because then, I might be able to lose some weight!), but I think I might have been dehydrated. Trying to drink more water.

JDIs for today:

- Do some tidying/cleaning
- Dishes
- p/u DD (she's working late)

Update from yesterday
- more laundry
- d/w - continue filling, run if needed.
- buy paint
- prime bedroom walls where needed
- sort and toss unneeded stuff from bedroom (baby steps)

The carpet cleaners came yesterday so that is one item taken care of.

For today -

Bushlady:
Could be the change in the barameter ( I blame a lot on that). LOL I seem to wake up early in the morning and try and fall back asleep,and then am tired from not sleeping straight thru.

Went to lunch and then had to run some errands. Home now, and tired.

Straightened out some items before I left for lunch. No vacuuming yet!
