White Sands National Park Wednesday @ TDD - C&C

[Lauralind]

Trissie dd and dsil have a great place in Alberta. It's living space is plenty big enough. 2 bedroom upstairs and one downstairs. The kitchen is kinda half done. Bottom cabinets are nice. Top ones are practically useless with shelves way too close together and no doors. Looks like they painted it and didn't finish. But very functional. They even have a big double lot. The shop is old though and really should be taken down and rebuilt. Not priority for them.

Laundry is going. Bedroom is tidy. Dh took the garbage with him. Laundry room and Kitchen next . Somewhere around school run.

lauralind, that sounds like a perfect gathering place then and you won't have to worry about getting everything done at your house! I am not thinking that far ahead yet.

[Lauralind]

Trissie I'm not thinking that far yet except trying to put out of my mind the building it at work. Which I hope is going to make a little progress without me there but not likely cause freight. Which I have to finish when I get there tomorrow. And hopefully direct the others to do it. But whatever... it's my day off. I need to get busy.

First time... I guess ds worked pretty hard yesterday... no energy today. Not feeling up to school. Oh well whatever.

I just have to wash a couple things and counters in kitchen. I think I will eat something and coffee and then see what I can get to.

Good *morning, everyone!
(*Please substitute your own time of day here.)

Thanks for the start, trissie. Not sure I want to visit a park and be surrounded by missiles.

Kittykatt, I love fall but the shorter days aren’t my fave. I also love the AA Milne quote.

Helia, hope they can pu the dresser in a timely manner, one more thing to be able to check off the list.

Hi LAnn.

Laura, I hope your dad accepts the help and can enjoy the company.

Up and attem!

Thanks for the info, Harriet. I admit I get lost when I look on the other boards, as to what’s current, what do I want to do this month, and then I get distracted so I forget to join in. The monthly habit is a huge help in getting some small things done that I put off.

Done:
Bible
Feed pets
Spot clean floors
Feed me, cheese toast, iced coffee, lemon water
Wipe down bathroom, clean toilet, scoop litter
Add garbage bags to grocery list
Toss old electric whisk
Open new whisk that’s been stored in cabinet, thankful I didn’t give it away, charging it, wish it was battery or plug in
Went to toss old whisk and saw it was fixable, crisis averted
Litter
Laundry
- dry dh’s comforter
Emails
Wfd - thawing ground chicken for stir fry type meal

Do:
Dust
Vacuum
Litter
Kitchen - dw, dc counters, clean out fridge
Laundry - finish dh’s bedding
Planner
Write out first of the month chores in October
Steam mop rug to see if it smooths it out any
Water porch plants
Mail
