Did a few things except the mother's day cards. Will do that tomorrow. They are local so I can mail them and have them received in time.

I am fine now. Don't know what that was about, but glad it is over.

Bless:
To be able to pick lemons off a back yard tree is so wonderful!

You did great my friend. Yes, definitely focus on your DONEs not TO DOS

Went and picked up my meds this morning. Finished up the beading project and started the next one. Got some more donations together.

Unfortunately, the closet door on the side of the summer clothing doesn't work well, so am going to have to switch things out. Knew there was a reason I didn't do it previously. Good way to empty donations from both seasons.

I haven't done a list for a few days and I think I better do one. I seem to get more things done when I actually plan my day

Mom's mobile home and lots are definitely sold with the 15th (next Tues) as the date for change of possession. That means I have to have the place totally cleaned out by Monday evening at the latest.

- with DS' help, get the things from Mom's place that I want to bring here
- start getting Mom's place set up for a yard sale this Fri and Sat
- take Ms Molly (my newly acquired 4 month old Shih Tzu cross puppy) for a vet check and her next set of booster shots (2 pm)
- sewing - Mom needs comfortable slacks and it's looking like the only way to get her some will be by using my sewing machine and my sewing skills
- get DH's obituary ready and submit to the local newspaper for publication (and a Card of Thanks as well)
- attend a church leadership meeting this evening (7 pm)

Diana, you know what they say - when your trees give you lemons, make lemonade!

Darlene: You are busy and getting a lot done, with or without lists, but I agree - one seems to accomplish more with a list and a plan.

I did everything that was on my list yesterday, except the weeding. That will be put off for another day.

JDIs for today:

- P/U DD
- Call neighbor to check on her dog
- Dinner, dishes, etc.
- Paperwork

Right Bless. I just wish my yard had a lemon tree to make the lemonade! LOL

Darlene:
I whole heartedly agree about the lists. You have a lot on your plate right now, which is both good and bad. Had to move mom, (to my home) right after my DH passed. Kept my mind busy and my body tired. Praying all goes well for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Was out early and gone most of the day. Tomorrow is another day of busy errands, out early, hopefully home early.

I was gone all day, today. (How do you ladies who have full-time jobs manage to get it all done?) I'm retired, but busy none-the-less and hardly home.

Still, the only thing I managed to do today was exercise. Tonight I'll clear off the coffee table as it collects various piles of papers and try on a few pairs of summer pants to see if they still fit.

I made a list on paper today while at school but never posted online.

Today's JDI list:
-load of dishes
-wipe kitchen counters and stove
-fill vitamin tray
-post office/store

I hear you Jo! I seemed to have gotten more done when I was working, etc. I find I take more time to do things now!

Tiny, love that your JDIs were crossed off.

- sewing Mom's slacks (baby steps)
- more set up for the weekend garage sale

Darlene, hope you get the obit and Card of Thanks organized without too much sadness. You have a lot to adjust to right now and you seem to be doing well. ((((( Hugs )))))

After I vacuumed the car on Monday morning and then spent the hour in church, I seemed to run out of steam after lunch.

Yesterday was a bit of a dead loss, I can't even remember what I did in the day, I was in such a slump, (oh, I did go out for a haircut in the afternoon, though), After supper I perked up a bit and I got some yoghurt made and ironed a piece of fabric for another Barbie doll creation, also put some beans to soak.

This morning I woke up at about 6.45 am and decided I would get up in a short while and have a shower and hair wash and go to mass. But when I was all ready, I suddenly realised that it was nowhere near 7.45 am. I had mistaken the time and had got up just after 5.45 am, so it wasn't even 7 am!

So I went out with a bag of strips of yellow plastic, and I went round to all the amelanchiers I could find, because I was afraid that it would rain and then the blossoms would fall before I got to them. I tagged them so they wouldn't get cut down by mistake one day when they weren't in blossom.

So, JDI:

Hair wash - DONE
Trees tagged - DONE
Mass - DONE
Grocery shopping - DONE
Beans, etc. - now in crockpot
Dusting and vacuuming
Ironing (oh, there it is again!)
Around midnight, welcome DH home!
