I worked a solid 45 minutes without much to show for it. Being behind in everything stinks! It takes much more time to do the simplest of tasks once they are behind. Lunch & Supper are planned. DW loaded and running. One of the overdue 6 days of MPB daily gross accounting done. SHE Cards brought up to date.
27 = CCC
Gotta start somewhere.

Re: Motivated Monday
That's right, Okay -it was probably our first PODA when we started as SHEs. Think Mystery uses it a lot now too. Don't think I'm up to 45 yet, but getting there.
Had blood work at 7:30 this morning. There was quite a line ahead of me and the computer wasn't working very well. Finally got done at about 8:30. I'm a very hard 'stick' so 'plumped' up as much as possible beforehand. Wore gloves, my warm jacket, drank water and used my heating bag (per suggestions from dKathryn). He had quite a time so can't imagine what it would have been without all of that! Have to go in Wednesday for check up and flu shot.
Just made reservations for Lancaster, PA on the 31st of October. DH has the shut off (water) date for Mon/Tues, October 29th & 30th. We may decide to leave that Tuesday -if so I'll just move our reservations back a day. Going to 'Sight & Sound Theater' to see "Jonah & the Whale". We'll leave from there on Friday morning.
Haven't even cuop yet. Spent way too long making reservations and actually ended up just phoning both the theater and the hotel to make those. Much easier.

Re: Motivated Monday
Phone call from DSIL during my "break/rest" time. Perfect timing. 
We put together the beginning plans to take the 8 little cousins ( 5 years old and under) to go trick-n-treating together this Friday night. I expect it is going to be a fun time for them!
Next 45 minutes of focused effort coming up..... *POOF*

Re: Motivated Monday
Sorry I was missing. Belated Happy Birthday to OKay and Happy Anniversary to the LucyLees.
I've got some strange something going on in the upper left quadrant of my back. It started as a muscle cramp under my shoulder blade and now it has moved (or spread) to include my whole shoulder and neck. One of the nerves/muscles in my head even hurts. Rotating ice and hot packs and taking OTC pain meds. Will try to get into massage therapist/chiropractor as soon as they open.
Haven't done anything to the house but did go thru all tshirts and have big bag for donation.

Re: Motivated Monday
Blessedw2 and I had the same thoughts about ((((MT)))) pains. Gall stones came to my mind too.
Visited with DMom on phone. She is pleased with their vehicle repairs. DH has a halo as far as she is concerned.
Back at it! *POOF**

Re: Motivated Monday
I'm off to the groc. store. I haven't been as productive as I could have been. Oh, well. . .
More Done:
/a.m. routine - still need to empty dw and start laundry (maybe; I don't always do a lol each day)
x touched base with the young mother to whom I'm bringing a meal
x lots of emails re: moms group teaching schedule for next month
x devo. study time -- I'm never sure whether or not I should put this down; it does take about 30 minutes of my day, including prayer time.
x lunch - I had it early b/c I was starving by 10:45
x dealt with photos of the race; made my own album and put a couple on fb
x found a recipe online for an Indian cucumber-yogurt salad to go with the Indian chick peas I'm making tonight!
x menu plan and groc. list finalized; I'll need to go back Wed. b/c dd17 has not yet told me what she wants for her bday dinner; we are now celebrating on Thursday and including our Thursday dinner crew, if they want to join us!
I will probably not get enough Heb. translating work done. That means someone else can translate my section 2nd time around.
OK, I'm off.
