Morning all. I made a big step yesterday. Ds slept in his new room. His bed and furniture are in there. Need to put his curtains up and see if it can convince him to use a laundry hamper and a hook for towel?
Then I can at least Declutter the other bedrooms and do the bedding and get ready to use them. In case fil does come up with dd and dsil. Then I need both. That's a big step now I don't have a completely empty unusable room. I can carry on with all my Declutter plans.
Dinner yesterday went well. Mom loved it and dad I think enjoyed getting out.
Now I need to get up and get ready for Monday work again.
Shower
S&s both baths and reboot laundry
Tidy laundry room and master bedroom some
Make bed in craft room
Put extra bedding back in bin and close
Tidy kitchen all the way
School run

Re: Marilyn Monroe's Monday @ TDD - C&C
Good morning/afternoon! Sending mojo for all of your endeavors.
I’ve been trying to type for hours but keep getting interrupted. We had a house inspector here just to see what’s what and now I have a whole new list of to do’s for dh and me. It’s good to get an official eye though and it’s mostly stuff I already knew. Now dh is hungry and wants to go somewhere to eat. I spent the weekend cleaning so I think I’ll take the day off and relax. I did get a book that I want to read so may do that in the hammock while weather is still nice enough to enjoy.
Have a good day.

Re: Marilyn Monroe's Monday @ TDD - C&C
A hammock AND a book, trissie! Enjoy, Bama!
It is my single day off in my spite shift before I do another 4 days. I have been trying to get at least one thing done during my evenings, as the days are not as long, to make it easier on myself when I do get a day off. Thus, I am surrounded by clean laundry, and last night I ran the little dw, so a good way to start the day. Even better, the forecast rain is not coming until I'm back at work tomorrow, so ddog and I are free to go as far as we want to enjoy the spring weather.
I'm just going to grab my toast and come back to finish CUOP.

Re: Marilyn Monroe's Monday @ TDD - C&C
Thank you for starting us off, trissie.
Hi, Gma.
Woo hoo on the uninterrupted day, kittykatt. I hope that you see lots of progress to feel proud of. You always get so much done in a day that you impress me, interruptions or not.
You know, one of the good things about going to specialty firms for the big jobs that need to be done first is that if the handyman comes around expecting to take on jobs that you had called about and that he never responded to, you can say "Here are the jobs that still need to be done" and you will have some work for him.
L.Ann, you are so much more diligent about doing your physio exercises than I am. WTG! I am trying to remember to slip some in when I don't have back to back calls.
The exam preps sound like a big job, helia. I'm glad that you got the first drafts done yesterday. Wishing you energy and success in your busy day today.
Woo hoo on getting DS settled into his new room, laurlind. You are definitely making progress on getting ready for Easter visitors.
Welcome back, trissie!
Hi. Peaches.
These are my goals for last week. I made progress, but I can see that I have to make an effort to move forward on the paperwork:
Goals
Prepare for taxes
Face Finances–done
Laundry–done
Dog medicated wash
slow cooker of beef and potatoes--done
Small slow cooker of tomato/meat sauce–done
Make corn bread–done
Set up smaller cart as plant stand
Take current plant stand to basement
Run the dw–done
Phone visit with db–done
Figure out when to book vacation
Spend some time crocheting
And here are my Ta Das for today so far:
Monday
Cleaned up after dog X2
Put away dry laundry
Put away drying rack
It's not much, but it's not nothing!
