Routine Maintenance

[blessedw2]

I am enjoying the cooler temps - thrilled

to add to routines:
worst jobs first
most tedious jobs - usually it's a visual job that is bothering me.
Feel good job - usually means looking for trash!

a A +: last night I emptied the clean dishes from the dw - I was able to wake up to a clean kitchen!

[blessedw2]

going to work outside before it gets hot -before (shock ) routines
dogs fed by dd
I am up slow - had breakfast and coffee
dd turned on dw
S2S
Meds

Put things down on paper as you see the job that needs to be done as it stays in my head and drives me crazy

I had to put this down on paper - lol computer -
WHAT IS OVERWHELMING ME BC OF OVER-GOALING PAST MY ABILITY THRESHOLD:

THE GARDEN - TO MANY JOBS TO BE DONE AT ONCE - I CREATED IT AND NEED TO FINISH ONE THING! I IMAGINE THIS PERFECT GARDEN AND WHEN I THINK OF PERFECT; I HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT NOTHING IS PERFECT - STRIVE TO WHAT IS DOABLE.
THINGS FROM THE MOVE - PUT AWAY OR GET RID OF
LETTING DD YOUNGER KEEP TOO MUCH STUFF BC I WANT HER TO FEEL THIS IS STILL HER HOME EVEN THOUGH SHE HASN'T LIVED HERE GOING ON 3 YEARS.

it's so hot outside that I can't work on my daily routines outside. So letting it go!


first things first:
lunch
take dh to his dr. appointment - I wait in the car - I might take the time to get my car vacuumed.

Cleaned under the mower deck two weeks worth forgot last week.

[blessedw2]

well done d Nancy!!!

[blessedw2]

today I will be working on zone 2 and zone 3 (weed) in the garden - water zone 5

Nancy, DH says failing to keep the underneath of the mower deck cleaned off causes it to get rusty quicker, so good job doing that.

I am in bathrooms this week. Was looking at my focus calendar and I've been keeping up the past 3 months but not BIG projects. Just enough to keep things looking ok. Let's see what I did:

Porch was twice in that time period. I did a big clean out there once and a broom sweep once.
bedrooms: worked on the pink room when I moved some stuff around and put together a drawer unit and got things more in order.

Office: can't remember what started all this work there, but everything got dusted and I organized cables and cell phones into boxes.

Closet: pink room closet got emptied and cleaned out.
Laundry: I remember cleaning and scouring the laundry tub, I guess that counts!
Storage, that would be my garage, wellll yesterday I bought DH a new tall wastecan for his shop, and we had garage door company come and fix the non-operating garage door and DH has greased the chain.
Outdoor, twice I've trimmed the grass around the flowers, and I pulled a couple dead tomato plants out.
Kitchen, Sunny and I reorganized the bottom closets so I had a place for the popcorn maker. She found a different way to store the pots and pans that is working better. I redid my vitamin/Rx drawer. I did wipe the things I keep on top of the cabinets.
Family room, I pulled all the furniture out and did a big clean.
Another Porch: Front porch needs attention.
bedrooms, bathrooms, I did big clean in master bathroom, and we kept our bedrooms up.

So, other than regular routines that I mostly kept up along with routine maintenance, this is what I've done this past 3 months.

Is this an ok place to put focus happenings? What do we think?

[blessedw2]

definitely d harmony! focus is part of our routines!

well done on your work!!!!
I am really beginning to see how my routines need to be the backbone to my day, week and month.

[blessedw2]

I have the cleaning people come - I found I got lazy the last 4 days knowing they were coming. Once one thing drops (for me it is vacuuming my floors) then everything starts to build.

I had planned on working outside but I think I need to wait until later. my body is moving slower than I would like.

back to visual put away first.
my routines for the morning are done! (ooops except for dog stuff outside and changing the animal waters outside).
the ladies did my weeklies and some monthlies yay!
