[blessedw2]

dog is still not eating - thinking she may have to have surgery. she ate some rice and chicken and pumpkin at the end of the day

I will see what I can get done today.

today is anti procrastination day
there are a lot of things that I have had to push forward.

i forgot to water plants today they are dry
put rest of lights on tree as soon as dh picks them up or I can get them tomorrow XXX can't find any more lights
bathrooms
paperwork bills
more christmas cards
dr. for january missed xxxxx
missed laundry room
missed vacuuming upstairs and dusting for home blessing.
if still feeling better - set up appointment with dentist. praying this cold goes away all together!
put the white elephant gifts back in the hall closet

CHRISTMAS CARDS!!!
MOM'S PRESENT
3 PENS

[blessedw2]

Keeping on on dog. she ate this morning. then stopped eating.

Remember there is no magic in getting things done. Keep it simple. Don't over-goal. See the importance in your day. Focus on the light/hope that is in your day.

walk dog for short walks (slowly).

finish Christmas cards. all but 5 cards done -

my plan is to not over goal -

I have been up since 5 - laid there until 6 - did nothing but coffee, dream a little, watched youtube videos from min. mom, garden answer etc.
time to take d dog for a short walk. She is sleeping but I think it will be good for her to have a15 minute walk.

took d dog for only 20 minutes - she is cheerful at times but not hungry -

separated the presents - I need to wrap dd's present and make a card.
opened the new covers for the couch that came in and are now on - much neater even though I would rather have the white furniture for the front room. dh is lovely but dirty on those chairs. he insists to sit in there instead of the family room. it's okay - even though he wanted the white knowing that it would be an issue. he said he would leave it for company. he is okay with this though which is nice.

all presents wrapped. I will put the white elephant gifts in closet tomorrow
I will put the wrapping paper and tape in closet in case dd's need them.

[blessedw2]

I am waiting for addresses for 5 Christmas cards. one from france. I can send the other one for france tomorrow.

dog broke a plate while I was sleeping - now to pick it up. i put a fence around it as it was way too early to deal with that.

so here I go.

[blessedw2]

I don't believe in resolutions but I do love goals (and now that I am older I don't see things as a failure if I don't do them - I always learn something and have fun along the way)

In 2020 I didn't have a goal to learn something I really wanted to do. I had no focus for learning which is not good for someone like me).

I am going to list it here - and check it again on January 2022

continue the 1 minute declutter everytime I leave the car.

[blessedw2]

the kitchen week of decluttering is done (except the plastic bag drawer and the junk drawer) - that will come around again and maybe I can do 5 things to declutter, every so often, from those drawers.

this week - work on going through dd younger's stuff again.
1. put it all in one spot.
2. talk to her about her drums -
3. pick a space that the things will fit and get rid of everything else that won't fit in that spot (or as Dana of Decluttered at the speed of life) calls it a container - a container (area/room/shelf) can only hold so much - if it doesn't fit - just keep what you love that will fit).
4. look for garbage
5. look for the duh's or easy
6. go through and pick and choose so it fits in that spot.

[blessedw2]
