Monday Make a Difference

[Harriet]

Start of a new week.
Lots of possibilities!
So many ways to make a difference.

My way of making a difference today is to keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing. One of the motivational speakers I've heard in the past had a term CANI (Constant And Neverending Improvement). I think of that often as I go through my day. Just making consistent tiny differences adds up over time.

Today is a normal day for me. I'm starting my day with 49 SHE cards due. 16 overdue. I'm making it a game to see how many I can get done by the EOD.

Not surprisingly, I'm getting a slow start. I was asleep early last night and up at 7:30ish (Muffin was adamant that I needed to rise and shine - sheet pulled over my head only works so long. ) I've worked at a.m. routine a bit, in little pieces and walked the ddog.

Need to pull out all the laundry and get started on Mt Washmore soon.

Good morning! Not sure how much difference I will be making to the world today, but I do have plans to make a difference for me. I have a carload of stuff that I will take to the animal org storage unit this evening. Yesterday, I ran a large load to Goodwill. Some people do spring cleaning, I do pre-Halloween party cleaning. Yesterday, I made a list of people to invite. I also balanced the checkbook, did church webwork, LOLs, and some party prep. I also determined the time and place of camping with friends. The time is non-negotiable. The place is semi-flexible: I need to have electric hookup in case DD17 needs to do homework. The friends are passengers, but DD is crew and essential to getting back in my yard. That establishes the hierarchy of who is considered first. Don't like it? Get your own camper.

Dentist trip went as expected, but the heater repair people had to reschedule to Saturday. He was able to push start the motor and get it running, but the noise level did not require special knowledge to know it would not last. It is possible to get a new motor and clean up the furnace, but realistically, the unit is 26 years old. He will be sending me prices based on a new and a 2 yo unit (still under 10 year factory warranty).

The animal org problem dog is now on more pain meds. The dog coordinator assures us that it is not a narcotic, but for neuropathic pain. I wish people would get over their fear of narcotics. Yes, they can be abused, but they can also be essential to quality of life while arranging surgery to fix the underlying problems. They are for dang sure necessary post surgery!

Good luck to Harriet on the after accident car search. Been there done that quite recently.

I think I'll skip CANI, too much like living with my x. I was always supposed to be improving. He would determine what to improve, how to improve it, and decide what was good enough. And, of course, nothing was ever good enough. If I did manage to get something sort of ok, it didn't matter because he had a long list of things to improve next. A disheartening target constantly propelled out of reach by a perfectionist. After I learned to ignore him and make my own happiness, he had an affair. That system will never be good for me.

Elizabeth, I do pre-Rosh Hashanah cleaning here. I can't quite get started on it today, tho. I can't quite get started on anything, to be honest.

[Nancy]

I am back from walking the dog, I also did some min. On the exercise bike.
Laundry is in the dryer still going.
Got the trash dumped.
Dpc to make but have to charge phone 1st.
Dusted one room downstairs, got dust bunnies out of corners and from under the bed.
Organized upright freezer contents shelves have specific food groops like, veg. On on main dishes on another, one is set aside for the Thanksgiving & Christmas.

Sun is trying to peek through the clouds.

I have a joy will put in J & C.

Belated birthday wishes to Mr. Sunny. Not sure how I missed doing that yesterday.

I personally think our board has too much power.

I can certainly see that as a 'negative', Harmony. Let us know how things went yesterday. It was yesterday or do I have the week wrong?

Trying so hard to 'think' on the winding down parts of getting ready to go south. Though I have 6 weeks, it feels like 'nearly over' and I also have that "IGAY" (I've got all year) syndrome. So, I try to think well ahead of the game. Those 6 weeks will no doubt go very fast.

I am still puttering around here. I've unpacked more and rebooted laundry. I keep making a mess when I unpack things... I made a DPC and sent a text about the sprinklers in the yard. I don't think the guy is done.

Right now I need to s2s and get to the grocery. I haven't been home long enough to do a real grocery list - I just know what I've noticed since last night.

I had to look back at Harmony's comment from last night, I thought for a second she was talking about this message board.
