Daily goals, motivation and check in

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Good morning everyone 🙂

Shocking sleep last night. It was so windy that I ended up with 2/3 of the little people in my bed waking scared throughout the night and both cats stirred up and running completely feral around the all night. One is currently practicing a spiderman climb up the back door. Today I am thankful for metal security screens rather than normal flyscreens throughout the house!

Counselling appointment this morning then I'm going to take it easy for the rest of the day. My counsellor is an online counsellor and one huge bonus is that it means I don't need to go out anywhere to get to it. Chiling out with a book after that sounds perfect for today.

Goal today is to pack away the washing I have in the baskets and try and grab the stuff off the line if there's a break in the weather enough for it to have dried.

Hope you all have a good start to the day and as usual, looking forward to hearing what you have on 🌞

Haha @Former-Member .. hmm no .. for brief period 30yrs ago maybe lol looking like a cross between popeye and home simpson after terrible sleep this morning ha. Briefly saw scene last night teev flipping channels English comedy think SBS. An older middle aged Indian woman ordered a male human facsimile robot for sex. After been promised a lot he was fat unkempt uncouth unattractive not romantic and after telling her he would listen to all her problems, camera closed in on her for monologue so could see it coming, he fell asleep on couch next to her snoring. Then farted in sleep for good measure..
Ive got to go for a walk. Usually pass for attractive if overweight but not if I keep walking up looking like this lol so may have to be a bit pro active next few days, be kind to body lol

It is my clear understanding that God created bare bottoms @Appleblossom .... lol .... and that one was a very nice one ...... get to draw all sorts of things in live model drawing class ..... 😏

The icon is, I believe, the three angels that visited Abraham and Sarah, telling Abraham that Sarah would beat him an heir in their advanced age .....

Yes, there is an iconography class available here .... it's managing my life circumstances to commit to it that is the difficult part .....

On my to-do list atm.

HOUSEWORK guide I found helpful. Bit like having to have impossible tasks broken up into small achievable bite sizes. Thought some here might find it useful as goals for the day. I edited my own version to take into account bin night, shopping day and other work-arounds:

DAILY: load of washing, quick sweep & tidy up, make beds, dishes, dishwasher

MONDAY: strip & air beds, sun pillows, wash bedding, sun & air blankets monthly.

TUESDAY: dust, wipe mirrors cupboard doors, vacuum

WEDNESDAY: Wipe clean fridge - pantry -microwave - dishwasher - oven, Plan meals for the week.

THURSDAY: bathroom & laundry tubs & toot, empty & wipe bins, street bins out, organising & declutter,

FRIDAY: pay bills, mail, shopping 

WEEKEND: gardening & yard & shed work, clean car, sweep paths, BBQ, family time, community.

Embroidery with likewise minded ladies this morning. I received yet another tablecloth to finish. Someone asked what do I do with all these lovely things as I have no daughters etc to inherit....probably back to second hand shops or I could be shrouded up in these....macabre ?

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hi @Neb, love people with the patience to do embroidery. Please, if you can, put up some pictures of your work. Maybe on 'through our eyes' thread with some other work.

Hi @Former-Member, @TAB, @Appleblossom, @Faith-and-Hope, @Shaz51, @Owlunar, Where's @Former-Member? @Former-Member, @Former-Member... @everyone

Very hot & muggy here today

What's everyone's plans for the weekend?

Re: Daily goals, motivation and check in

Hiya @Former-Member 🙂 i missed your bite size housework guide. Love it! Your day sounds really productive. Do you enjoy mowing?

Nothing too exciting planned here for the weekend. I'm hoping to try and hand little people over to family for a break for the night, but not sure whether that will happen yet. I feel a little suffocated at the thought of the weekend so some breathing space would be super helpful at the moment. We've got a weekly activity we do on tomorrow and that's nice though.

What about you? Any plans?
