Sorry to say I did nothing! I have been sleeping off and on
both days. Don't know what it is, but am thinking all the previous week's work caught up with me! I am going with it, and feel some energy coming back.

Good to see others are getting things done!

Well the ironing didn't get done yesterday, nor did I go shopping. But I had a nap, and a session in the garden instead, trying out the long pruner that DS got me for Christmas (I just wish it came with built in binoculars so I could see what I am doing when it is fully extended!) I also did a fair bit of raking of lawn and some flower beds that were covered with leaves.

Then I remembered another job, and started typing up a Power Point presentation that I had promised to do for DH, copying some old overheads. I've made a good start of 10 slides.

I did go to the concert and it was excellent, and I saw people I know and had a few chats. The drive home was impressive with the huge moon, and Venus glowing on the other side of the sky.

JDI:
e-mail DH - DONE
Dailies - DONE
Finish Power Point typing - DONE
Church - DONE
Then pick up some milk and also look for that gift I need to buy - DONE - milk and groceries only
More yard work? - more raking DONE
Ironing - it will get done one fine day LOL
Watch movie and sew blanket squares together

It was a fabulous day, ate lunch outside again and spent time just wandering around yard or sitting with a book - so peaceful with birds and squirrel keeping me entertained!

I've managed to complete dailies for the month of May. I'm sticking to Branches as a life ring. It's snowed the past two days and the l-o-n-g list of outside tasks were put off yet again.

DH picked up the RV this AM and while he became incredibly frustrated when his re-installed batteries refused to function, vacuumed every nook and cranny and made up the Master List [thanks Bonnie]

Still snow out west bush lady!. down east today its actually cold but supposed to warm up later. (thats for we Canadians).I am so glad you ladies saw merit in my worry list. Like all newish ideas it has lost some of its grab. we do like to saboutage ourselves dont we. Thats exactly why my worry list has value I will not let these items get sidetracked. They are still tweaking at the corners of my mind. So stick with it Ann.ORDERS TO MYSELF> still lots of time to act somewhat spontaneously.
JDI<s for today .
Whatever time is leftover in this day will go to worry #1.
little bedroom only now my winter clothes and some clean laundry must be put away. Once done I must not use this bed to pile on again. IT becomes a real nag to me and also I never have my clothes where they should be.
My anxiety level is very high this morning. Right now I am fighting the urge not to go and get xrays done. thats a big worry for me is not tackling medical issues.There is a little 5 year old girl in this 73 year old body saying "I dont have to go if I don,t want to ". I know she is not my friend when I am trying to be an adult who tackles her worries.
Thats enough of that sort of talk here. Be patient with me I do go on so .
Get dressed.
Go for xrays.
Pat myself on the back.
Have a tea out.
Into my little bedroom. Thanks all . Ann 39.

Cyd, I remember you recommending Branches to a newbie one time. I find them helpful because instead of panicking that everything needs doing, I can focus on one area (except for urgent tasks) knowing that the other areas will get their turn.

Ann, I've heard that there are two seasons in Canada, winter and construction! But the two overlap, and while we are just beginning to feel that winter may be over, we have had road construction holding us up for weeks! That's organization for you, do it even if it is still barely possible!

Definately have a tea out when you go for those X-rays, Ann, and maybe a goodie with it? : )

JDI:
Dailies
Strip bed, launder sheets - DONE and ready to hang out. (I did not strip DH's pillows this time as he hasn't been here, and I shall put the sheets and my pillowcases back when they are dry (so they are still the matched set).
Vacuum car
Go to church for an hour
Some bathroom cleaning
Two or three necessary phone calls
Ironing (it's still waiting!)
Make yoghurt
Put out garbage and yellow recycle box

Good Morning!

Ann:
You are way too hard on yourself! Taking care of your dog, ndDH is a full time job. ((((HUGS))))).

Bushlady:
It has been raining here and no full moon to see. I am so disappointed, they said it was the largest one! Called the Flower moon. Did you know each moon has a name? I didn't previously.

Met a couple of Aussies on the trip. Many from the UK.
We even sang some songs together on the boat ride to the music that was playing on the deck! Such fun....and good times. A couple of people from Scotland also!

Okay, a little stomach upset today, so that may be why I am not so energetic....my energy is coming back....slowly.

Do a babystep in closet (for donations)
Put suitcase downstairs (DONE)
Work on beading
Address cards for mother's day to mail.

Praying Mary is doing okay.

Ann: Hope the X-rays got done without too much trouble; I'm a bit like you - I, too, put off medical tests, etc.

Cyd: You are doing so well with all your tasks.

Bushlady: You, too, seem to be doing well with your list.

Diana: Hope your stomach settles down and you feel better soon.

I did babysteps on my list, yesterday, but didn't finish many of the tasks. But, I did water the front garden, had my phone services restored, made fresh lemonade (with lemons from my trees), took a nap, visited with my cousin, called and spoke to another cousin, baked zucchini bread, scrubbed the kitchen sink and so forth. Need to focus on what I did, instead of what I didn't do.

JDIs for today:

- Water the back garden
- Weed for 15 mins.
- Continue to tidy the house
- Take the trash cans to the curb
- Pick up DD from campus (she's working late)
