pro's CI - 2pm
I've done enough basic housekeeping - straightened up the apt, vacuumed, washed dishes, cleaned toilet.
Now I need to turn to the part I detest - the accounting. I'm going to finish watching the TV program I'm watching, then I'll get started.

e saturday mid-day
I fell asleep again for 3 more hours and am now finally up and not wanting to do anything again. I have a luncheon to go to at 2, my son has a friend over and they have taken over the living room and the other one just left for his 3rd day of work.
G is at the doctors and the house is a bit of a pit. I can't seem to get the chatbox to load, but it looks like it is a great working environmnet because it is currently standing room only! Until I get in I will go back to my nowdothis page and see what I told myself I would do!
Sammy ci :: 10:30 am
Good Morning!
I don't think I've checked in at all for the last few days.... So here's an update:
Thursday (between classes) I fit in 2 photo shoots...One with the puppy (pictures came out super cute....thinking of turning them into christmas cards!), and the other was an ad shoot for lemons...haha.
Friday I worked 9-5, made a couple phone calls, dropped B off so I could have a night home alone,....rented a movie, and just hung out.
Today: I got up at 9 (didn't sleep well last night....several alarm clocks in the house went off at random times...), need to shower, get dressed, run errands, then spend some time at the library working on my Marketing paper. Waiting for the arrival of my marketing groups survey questions, at which time I will distribute at least 10 surveys via phone or email. K needs a place to crash tonight, so I need to pick up around the house before she gets here....D and L should be arriving home sometime late Sunday, so the house should be clean for that anyways. Must ask K to help me teach Sunday school....Dual purpose: 1. I really could use an extra hand, 2. Would like K to attend church more than she does now...which is never.
I'll check back after running errands. Happy weekend!
pro's CI - 11am
I vacuumed - a bit more thoroughly than usual (moved some stuff), though still basically a mediocre job. My housekeeping is basically preventing total disgustingness, not positive cleanliness.
I'll water the plants now (since I didn't last week).

pro's first check-in - 8:40am (chatroom day)
Good morning. And thanks to chickadee and e for the messages they left for me this morning!
I need to work this weekend - need to more urgently than ever. I'm going to be checking in all day. I must get my expense records together and send them to my accountant so he can file my tax returns, and so I can get started on my business ventures (since I'm soon-to-be-jobless - we're still negotiating last day, etc.).
I'm finishing breakfast now, and I should get dressed.
I think I'll head to the chatroom for frequent check-ins today.

e's saturday
Good morning and thanks for the mice, Roses! Today would be a good day to get things organized. As i type that I can feel a bit of dread sneak into my feeling, but I would really like to get some things done to prepare for Thanksgiving, which I am hosting. I can tell I am not estimating how long things should take.
water, meds are done, feeling a bit dehydrated today: need to think about a humidifier in the bedroom.
dishes, laundry, clear off couch, file papers in kitchen, make breakfast for C and his friend, get ready for lunch with Steve, clear up bedroom, hang more pictures, dust, vacuum and wash wooden floors, lay rugs, set up table for Thanksgiving.
A major bedroom overhaul needs to occur, as well as a thorough detailing of the bathroom. The front porch must be cleared off this weekend. extra seating should be borrowed from upstairs. Plead with G for the microwave to be properly installed!
the chatbox continues to work its magic, so I will head there to get inspired. Have a lovely day, everyone.

Good Saturday morning! It's my grandson's 2nd birthday so we have a party at noon. I need to leave here at 10:45, pick up my parents at 11:00, and be at the other grandparents house at 11:30.
Before 10:45, I need to:
After the party

The present is wrapped, I'm dressed, and we all have directions to the party. I need to put on some make up. I made a start on a grocery list, looked at the ads and made a list of sale items, but haven't made menus yet. I can sit at a coffee shop or something after the party and finish up.
Going now to put on makeup and load my grocery list starter in the car and let it warm up. It's 17 degrees here. Where the heck is global warming when you need it?

Hi Pro Buddies!
It's a cold day here, so that Warm Sunshine threadstarter is helping me, Roses -- thank you! :)
This morning PA helped me to remember to start the bathroom swishies, bag up the trash to take out, start a load in the clothes washer, and say prayers for Pro. Next I want to buy groceries & other items. After returning from that, I want to do an errand at another store before it gets too busy. During mid-day or in the afternoon I need to do some paint touch-ups, and also ready the new condo for a company visit next week ;) I may update my CI later.
1:10pm. This morning I finished Part 1 of the bathroom swishies. Took the trash to the dumpster. Bought provisions for the week and put gas in car. Returned item to the store, and paid off credit card. Window-shopped through stores, making a mental Wish List ;) Ate lunch, put clothes in dryer, and started another load to wash. Next it is time to do the paint touch-ups. Do I want to do those? Yes. OK, then why I am somewhat trying to procrastinate? Ummm. Well, I want to take a little break. OK, how about if my little break is changing clothes, carrying over a few more things to the new condo, and having a glass of milk? I'll give it a try, and then hope to edit my CI with an update later ;)
4:45pm. Exhausted! lol. A more positive way of saying it: I got a lot done :) While I was doing the paint touch-ups, I also tried the new washer & dryer at the new condo. I started with clothes that it doesn't matter if they get messed up: pajamas ;) They turned out ok. Then I washed towels & a hoodie. They turned out ok, too. I guess each weekend I will try washing a few more types of clothes & see how they turn out. In the meantime I am still washing my office clothes at the rental condo ;)
Next: eat something. Hang out at the rental condo for another 45 minutes or so, until current load of clothes dries. Then go over to new condo for the evening.
Have a great day, everyone! :)
