I have only 12 things on my to do list now

I had a great day yesterday and got little 12 things done! I’m hoping to get another 8 things done today. Some easy, some a little more time consuming and involved. If I don’t get it all done I won’t be upset it’s just a little goal to challenge myself.

the list is;

scrub stains off patio and sweep once dry
open and put away deliveries
breakdown boxes and take to dumpster
build cat tree
take out garbage
put away dishes, wash any new ones dirtied
dust
vacuum
hang curtains (3 rooms)
put photos in frames
hang mom’s paintings
pot plants

Woo! You kick butt!

Good job yesterday, good attitude, and good list.

You’re doing well it seems, that makes me happy.

Does kitty help with chores? Knowing cats she probably just watches and supervises.

Keep it up my foliage friend!

Thank you, I just did a little, took a break, did a little more and took another break and on it went. Doing 2 or 3 things and then stopping to eat or drink but always getting back to it. I did good and I was happy with me.

Actually, that’s funny, yes she usually does come wherever I am and wants to get into it with me. Except the kitchen, there she has no interest.

Thank you. They were easy things like do the dishes, take out the trash, sweep the front porch, clean the litterbox etc. But it was all stuff that needed done.

Oh, I won’t get all that done today. That’s just the list of everything. I’m shooting for the 8 easy things but I may not get even that. It just depends on my energy level today and motivation.

lol, nope, just a wish list of all the things that need done eventually. I really want those curtains up, but doing that isn’t my strong suit.

Do you have someone who can help you with the curtains?

My sister mentioned I pay my son in law to do it. He does odd jobs to support his kids. Maybe I’ll give him a call since I think that’s the only way it’s getting done lol

I tried to give him money this weekend but he turned it down said he felt bad about always taking money. This would be a good way to get him some, I’ll just over pay him.

That sounds like way too much to do. I’d be lucky to get 3 of those things done.

I’m finding that if I make a list and break everything down in small chores I can get a lot more done than I dreamed of. The list are sort of a confidence booster in a way because we all do little things each day that we take for granted like taking out the garbage and doing the dishes. When you put it on a list you’re giving yourself credit for it. It feels good.

Yea. I do that too Leafy. It’s amazing feeling when you can tick everything off.

Just feels like a load of crap is taken out my brain.

Yes. I guess that’s true. I’ve been lucky to go for a walk and go to the store lately. Hardest thing is vacuuming.
