Edge's Closing CI

With so many things on my list, I'm actually surprised I got almost all of them done! And the only reason I didn't call my nephew was because I'd come home late from work and it was past his bed time, so I'm pretty happy with what I've completed :grin: My next goal is to actually complete everything on my lists when they're actually important, lol. It's easy ticking off the little stuff :-p

Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action - Walter Anderson

pro's CI - 7:10pm

I finished ironing and cleaned the toilet.

My head is starting to pound again - need to take migraine medicine. These headaches are getting very tedious. I'm not sure I'll get anything else done tonight.

Rest up

Take good care of yourself, Pro. *hug* And that dent you put in your cleaning list was pretty good, especially under the circumstances :-) Maybe you could invest a few hours in more sleep and check out those supplements you mentioned.

pro's CI - 5:15pm

I did a few more things:

- Did some dusting (not thorough).
- Vacuumed.
- Put away clean laundry.
- Picked up a bit.
- Started watering plants.
- Put clocks back.
- Finished watering plants.
- Did ironing.

I would like to work on my pile now, but I'm not sure I have the energy. I'm just so tired. Maybe I'll rest and then try.

I did some stuff:

- Did some dusting (not thorough).
- Vacuumed.
- Put away clean laundry.
- Picked up a bit.
- Started watering plants.
- Put clocks back.

I think what I'll do next is ironing. That's relaxing and I can watch TV while I do it.

pro's CIU - 2:10pm

I'm tired and don't feel like doing anything, but I have to do something. At the very least I need to reset my clocks. I don't even know what time it is.

Also, my apartment is too small to be messy. There's no place to walk. And the plants need watering - I didn't water them last week.

And I have to put away the clean laundry.

Maybe some green tea will give me the energy for all this.

The laundry nightmare is over. I have a lot more to do, but I feel so week and unwell I don't know how much else will get done. Right now I'm going to rest.

Are you alright, Pro? It's not still the migraine, is it? What's wrong?

not sure

Thanks for asking, Edge. Honestly, I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I just realized a minute ago that I may have folic acid anemia, which is a possible side effect of an antibiotic I'm taking. Maybe I'll take a folic acid supplement.

Hope you feel better!

Hope you feel better soon, Pro!  Meanwhile, hang in there, and take pride in all that nice clean laundry.  :-)

Falcon

thanks :)

It's a huge relief to have clean laundry. I've had to stop at Rite-Aid for clean underwear a couple times this week. :P

pro's check-in - 9:30am

I have an absolutely GIANT pile of laundry to do. It's all packed, but I'm dawdling on carrying it downstairs because it's heavy. There's lots more I want to do today. I didn't feel well yesterday and mostly slept.

Before class

For those of us in daylight saving zones here in the U.S. -- hope everyone enjoyed an extra hour of sleep (I know I did!)

To do before class:

Eat breakfast
Clean bathroom
Cat litter
Clean kitchen
Tidy
Change sheets

Might not get all that done, but I can get a good start!

Falcon

Good start

O.k., ate breakfast, scooped litter, cleaned the bathroom, the dishwasher is running & I got a start on the kitchen.  Not a bad start! 

On my way to class.  Catch you all later.

Falcon

Everything is going alright. Got rid of the bulk of the phone calls that I needed to make. Feeling good :-)

Yay!

Congrats on getting the phone calls made, Edge!  I usually hate making phone calls, myself, so I'm impressed.  :-)

Falcon

phone calls

I hate making phone calls too, and a few others on this forum have said the same thing.  I wonder why we hate that so much?  I'll go to a lot of trouble just to avoid making a phone call.  Anyway, congrats on getting them done.  I need to call the IRS - that's like the world's worst phone call, lol.

J.

Thanks, Falcon!

I really hate those too, even though there's really no need to be so apprehensive about most of them, lol. Thanks for the support! I really appreciate it :grin:

I was getting on well until the washing machine broke and I've been trying to fix it and I can't and there is a mess.

Rexroth

Writing worries

Hi Rexroth,

I like your "write down worries" idea -- sounds like a good way of getting worries out of one's head, by getting them down on paper.

Best of luck with the washing machine!

Falcon

Rexroth 19.31 GMT

Thanks Falcon. Now the sink is blocked too. I thought I had the washng machine fixed and it looks like I haven't. Bother!

Rexroth

Rexroth 21.57 GMT

I've washed the clothes and hung them to dry. I've also brought a load of stuff from the kitchen back to the bedsitting room so that the washing machine repair person can get in. I've more to move and I need to clean the maching and under it where it is filthy before I arrange the appointment. I also need the sink unblocked so I'm emailing my landlord to do that as my plunger does not work.

I'm tired

Rexroth

Rexroth 22.45 GMT

Need to sleep.

Night Folks
