Ta Da Tuesday! PWYC
It's magic! Ta da! The things we can accomplish when we count the ta das! So take a break from the to-do mentality and celebrate all the little accomplishments of the day!
Ta da! It's Tuesday and the garbage can is out!

Re: Ta Da Tuesday! PWYC
Yes, we have both trash pickup and recyclables to remember this evening. That card is up, plus I always keep my post-it reminder on planner for the every-other-week recyclables. It says, "Totally Crushin' It", to remind me to break down boxes, etc.
At 2:45 I'm to become the substitute ddolder at her house, lol. One responsibility will be to meet the HVAC folks who require an adult to be present before they will enter a home. They'll be installing a new "box" in the attic to enclose the unit there. Also, a watchful eye on her youngest's homework progress.
High hopes for more sewing time today.
Very little kitchen clean-up because I worked on that a good bit last night.
HRH has a reminder set for himself for his own Desk Day.
I want to use up some produce today so that I don't chance losing it. Probably a smoothie on the horizon and a tofu scramble.
Cathy reminds me that a sweet potato is waiting for me, too.

Re: Ta Da Tuesday! PWYC
Good morning
Ta-Da's are incredibly motivating! Watching the card count increase as tasks get accomplished always gives me a satisfying dopamine boost.
Random Ta-DA's
** DD14 delivered to school while chatting about current events and furries.
** DS17 encouraged to do his best
** Trash to the road including a lighthearted visit with neighbor
** DH has put the flag out by the road
** Hip pad in use - it currently has 4 things that I want to accomplish today.
Next up -
** pull items from freezer for which will influence what meals I will be cooking today.
** Get everyone daily meds out and ready for them
** Plant something

Re: Ta Da Tuesday! PWYC
Hi!
I'm awake but I want a nap. Dh had an 8 a.m. Doctor's appointment.
The kitchen is in awful shape.
All the litter boxes need to be cleaned.
All of the garbage cans need to be emptied.
I just did all of these things on Sunday.

Re: Ta Da Tuesday! PWYC
My house keeps falling behind - I worked all day yesterday and it looks worse this morning -
found out dd's invited niece over to be outside - the patio is awful - the house is a hoarders house - I haven't had the house be this bad since I was first on the system when younger
the house looks like a hoarder home - I know dd younger and mom's purchases are overwhelming me - everything is on the dining room table. no more stuff.
dog hair is everywhere.
pulled my cards
dh dishes
me microwave
dh has agreed to work with me on them so that I can feel ahead
vacuumed kitchen floor except under table mom is there
dd made it up to the shower yay walked backward up the stairs
I have to take mom to urgent care for getting tested for uti
she is slow going and weak - I need to see what is going on
plumber said that we need to replace the toilet again .
the insides might not be available to order again
geesh - what a rip off but with dd home from hospital, mom not feeling well, etc. it is better just get it done. it's a scam.
I think I will change plumbing companies. They changed it a couple years ago.
had to stop working to get dressed to take mom

Re: Ta Da Tuesday! PWYC
bw2, I'm glad that dh is going to work with you - nice to be able to delegate some jobs since you're feeling behind. Well, it's no wonder you feel behind, look at what you have going on with your dmom and dd! Don't be too hard on yourself...
I walked two laps with dfriend M this a.m. - she was using a cane because her hip is hurting again, so we walked more slowly, but it's enjoyable to catch up.
Setting timer at BOTH to work 45 min.
-get package ready to mail
-refill meds containers and take meds
-a.m. routine
-start on porch clean up. First is sweeping around the corners and edges where grass and stuff accumulates

Re: Ta Da Tuesday! PWYC
Instead of sticking to my planned tasks, I decided to take a 30-minute walk on the park trail while the temperatures were cooler. Now, I'm sitting in front of the fan to cool off for a bit before getting started again.
Homeschool has to be my priority right now. *POOF*

Re: Ta Da Tuesday! PWYC
Up by 6:00 today.
Sun was coming up a good thing. Went to bed pretty early back was out it seems better today so that's good.
Trash is at the curb & I picked up twigs.
Did the bujo & planning. High hopes but wondering if I"ve over goaled for my day.
52* feels cold to me this morning.
-----
A bit later did three things...
Did some journaling.
Desk duty Paid a bill via phone.
Cleaned receipts out of walled.
Checked oil in one rig.
We've walked & saw a deer going from one garden to the next!
Having bfast now.
