Yes, Diana, could be my personal barometer, too! I tested my blood pressure the other morning when I woke up and it was in the mid range. Ridiculous! It went down later after I was busy.

Hope you got your pics done, Darlene. So annoying to forget the key.

That reminds me, I couldn't even find my door key when I went out yesterday, and I tried something I read about and kept repeating "key,key,key", then I remembered that it was in the tote that I take when I walk to the mailbox. This worked when I lost something else recently, too. St. Anthony must be glad of the break, I'm often mislaying things!

Enjoyed wandering round the yard. There are a lot of birds around now.

My friend was out in the afternoon when I dropped round (as asked to do anytime), but I had a good walk.

Called up someone I knew who has a first grandchild and she came round and was very happy to have the crib.

Am still working on the taxes right now.

Bushlady:
Had to laugh about St. Anthony, I bugg him ALL the time! That was too funny to read! Nice to know I have a fellow sister !

You are doing so well.

If I get that all done I will be happy!

Slept reasonably well and woke up feeling human. I have a hunch that there is something in the stirfry sauce I used on Tuesday that may affect me somehow, as yesterday was another story. It has happened before with that sauce, and I did put it aside for ages, then ran out of the other. Maybe I should list ingredients and look out for similar effects in other products.

Just a quick thank you to the mods to start the new month on the motivational threads!

Today, I am finishing up my daily chore list from yesterday. I got all the basics done except for mopping. So that is a plus for me. I think that some days I might be able to do most of my daily chores and some days I won't, but if I get in a routine like I used to be when I was growing up, then I think by the end of each week the house would be clean and I could actually start enjoying some of my weekends.

Yesterday I spent the day either with my Mom or doing shopping for her. It's proving to be difficult to find clothes that won't bind when she's sitting in the wheelchair most of the day.

Today I am at home and want to get some stuff done around here -
- clean coffee maker with vinegar
- paint MBR walls
- d/w - continue filling, run if and when full
- sewing - shorten legs on some slacks for Mom and "fix" her undershirts
- other tasks?

That looks like a long enough list!
