Found some with teams but no indecator light sigh can't find a replacement crockery thing in white.
Looks like jc penny & sears wmrt & other stores carry it new in copper w/ thevlight but the lid is vented b/c pressure builds up bc it it clipped. Some customers had theirs quit or the crock broke. I will not have to order it.

Also discovered my facial masque products for oily skin are still made yea, one is a mint and the other mudd both by Queen Helen.

hi, good morning

The 10 put away and 10 toss and 1 clean in each room is helping me a bit. the mess still builds but I can see some progress until the next day. We all tend to just "relax" at night and not do anything. So I have to find a new way to build a habit of action at night instead of letting everything go.

I can't believe the time is going by so fast.

time for changing to work cloths - I had to run an errand
drained for a minute but need to pick up speed. I love cooking for others but I am feeling a little overwhelmed by the dream I have in my head of what to do and the reality of time.
do I really want to spend so much time in the kitchen? I have the responsibility to feed others outside our home healthy meals and I have to make sure I have things that "they" will eat. (so basically I sometimes cook 2 different things as my family has its favorites and I have to adjust to special meals).

so before cooking anything: making blueberry oatmeal bars, banana bread, coffee cake bread from package for their freezers, I have to do my round robin.

blessed, I don't see how you add so much cooking to your days and still get everything done. I wouldn't be able to do it. I think you are a lot more adept in the kitchen than I am. I am efficient at washing dishes, though!

I've been trying to find ways to add time-tracking to some 3x5s. I like the forms that track every 15 minutes you spend on a task by having little ovals to fill in with a pencil.

There are some called Concrete Goals Trackers that are ready to go and print out at the right size already (printables are down the side of the page), but they track your opinion of how valuable the result of the time was by rating it 1, 2, 5, 10. I really don't need that - I just want to track and record that I spent the time. I do like that it has a good title space above, but it's got the words "start date", when I need to write what my project is there. I like that the days of the week are down the side, but why the right side I don't know. None of these little oddities are so bad - I could just ignore the words and numbers I don't need. But I might try another form from the same site, called the Emergent Task Planner and see if I can just cut away the upper right hand portion to put on cards.

Thanks for reposting the links, Harriet. I like the general idea but, as you mentioned, none of them is quite what will work for me.

However, now I'm curious to see what little bubble characters might be available in the OpenOffice writer & spreadsheet modules I use all the time. Hmm ... How much time do I have available now to create a couple of forms that will save time later?

I've always liked your Healthy Habits card.
