Write it Wednesday PWYC

[Twins' Mom]

I'm in a "Write it down" frenzy again - writing down tasks faster than I can do them! Yesterday's awareness of hot spots has merged with "write it down" day.

What are you writing today? Journaling? Fiction? Nonfiction genealogy? I'm also keeping "Children of William White" open and adding a little to it daily.

Hi Twins' Mom! Thank you for opening the village this morning.

I'm not writing anything today. The only things on my to-do list are the regular Wednesday jobs. Water the plants and wash the dishes. I am not going to Walmart today because I don't need to. I will need to go to Costco tomorrow. Dh needs something and the price is much better at Costco than anywhere else.

Morning girls…

Funny cause I need to do some writing myself today. Am finally feeling better so since I’m not going any where today decided to start my laundry a day early! Will change my bed, remake it and wash the other sheets.

Yesterday I worked on my 500 piece puzzle and finished it. First time ever of doing a puzzle and really enjoyed working on it. Now I need to return this one to my community library and find another on to work on.

Twins I thought of you when you wrote you were loosing your trainer cause she was moving away. I worked with mine for over 4 years and during the process became very close to him despite our 40 year age difference. In fact he was the first person I told that I suspected Sweetie had Alzheimer’s. I remember crying as I told him and I never ever cry. He truly understood my needs both as a trainer and a friend and moving away from him was very difficult.

I still uses much of what he taught me when I exercise at home and we still communicate through fb, but it’s just not the same. I miss him.

Good morning!

I am in the 4th hour of my day. Both teens are out of the house doing school and work. My morning routines have been accomplished.

DS16 got pulled over by police last night for excessive acceleration from a stop sign. This is the first time DS16 has been stopped by police and it shook him up. The police asked DS16 why his hands were shaking. He didn't receive a ticket or warning, but the police just talked to DS16 about it. Hopefully this experience will make a lasting impression on DS16 and he will modify his lead foot ways.

I have been making more progress in the 4 room switch decluttering this morning. Consistent daily progress is my goal as I keep my eye on the end of September for this project to end.

Yeah, gonna miss trainer so much! I think it will be hard to transition to a new one, the male who runs the place and is also a trainer is great too, but I feel like K challenges me more, tells me I can do it, and I do. I think because he's older he may be a little more conservative, which is great also...

I need to finish a.m. routine and get off to the grocery store. This afternoon at two is PT, whoops still need to fill out their form online too.

I'm thawing steak from the freezer and will get veggies at the grocery today. Also need to go to temple, bank for cemetery, UPS store, and the post office. What else? And I need to write these on an index card to take with me in a prominent position in the car.

I liked Cathy's hot spot challenge yesterday. I still haven't finished with the one here by my computer, but I'm scanning and discarding papers.

I did my journal writing.
Have been out to the garden and have one bush I started yesterday pruned back & dead cane cut off.
Next I"ll be removing what I've cut off to a diff area of the back yard.

Into my 3rd hr. of the day. first break now. Just had my protein for bfast.
Hydrated. Glad we got rain in the night a clap of thunder woke me but I did not get up
was just glad when I heard the rain! I slept really well and we did not get up till after six!
Yea!

I skipped the Current events class I think it's toxic, listened to an art one instead way more fun too!

I've decluttered more stuff off the deck I have stools to paint that were on it at some point.
WTG gals on your fall routine start up!
-----
CI Did another round.
Ack humidity is 70% !!! I have done another round got the branches moved yea!
Rolls are raising in the oven.
Sweat was pouring off me had some carbs it was time.
Ddoggo came inside with me she loves it when I garden.

Round of errands complete in that direction: groceries, bank, post office, UPS store. This afternoon need to go by temple because it's in the direction of the PT. Perishables are put away.

Grocery store was unusually busy. The cashier thought it might be because we're expecting rain for several days - remnants of the hurricane in the gulf. We really need it, although it's not been as hot some of our grass is brown again.

I'm going to s2s quickly before I go back out. Also need a snack...

Good afternoon! This is about the only thing I'm writing today, other than keeping track of which row I'm on -- I got a kit to make an amigurumi (one of those little crocheted dolls) for my birthday. I've been wanting to do such for quite a while now. Anyhow, I've never crocheted before, so I'm a little surprised at how well it's going. There was at least one row (or round, really) that I had to pull out and redo three times, and my tension is kind of wonky, but I'm halfway through the main body. Of course, this is a chick that is mostly egg-shaped, so we're not doing anything too complex here.

I do have something written down -- a list of the next 10 things from my brain dump -- and I'm using the crocheting to avoid it studiously!

I'll work on finishing tidying the dining table next. It shouldn't be that hard, right?

[Lady Maverick]

Mystery - Thank you for sharing about amigurumi kit. It looks like something that would interest DD13.

I am off balance today. Weird. I start walking forward but I find myself veering off to the right. My guess is inner ear fluid. I took a musinex in the hope it would help. I put some ear drops in also.

I almost have 3 of the 4 rooms decluttered. It feels like I am peeling one layer off at a time. I think I am done but then I look again and find more. I took multiple layers of curtains down today. I will not be putting those curtains back up. DS16 likes his bedroom to be dark so those windows had blackout curtains. I prefer to let all the natural light in. So now I have a decision to make....what window treatment am I going to do with those double windows? They face the road, so I want the ability to restrict seeing into the house while also allowing all the natural light possible. hum.....

Hope you're doing better this afternoon LadyM. Have you had a cold or allergies?

The PT appointment was great, she's pleased with the range of motion I already have and did some measuring of the angles I could bend up and down - both hands - checked grip strength, thumb strenth pressing down strength. She agrees that twice a week is enough and perhaps only three to four weeks. So happy this isn't going to be months! The funniest thing is that there's a machine they call the "Bendomatic" and one puts the back of their hand into the padded slot, and goes up and down stretching the hand downward at the wrist.

We grilled steak (from the cleaning out the freezer stash) and I have corn on the cob with it. Dtrainer suggests as a minimum, two servings of veggies and two of fruits daily. I'm there. Wishing I ate more like LadyM and Harriet.

wow, can't believe we're still on page one.

I'm working on list for tomorrow.
