    Well Steven is doing IF weekdays, so I guess I will jump in. I'm going to try an eating window of nine to five, so I guess that's 8:16. Somebody has to explain this change in morning routine to my dog, who normally eats after me.

    Machka I think, asked about shoes. I have shoe shelves under my hanging clothes where I store my everyday shoes with no boxes just lined up on the shelves. My dressier shoes are stored in their boxes on the top shelf of my closet.

    Michele, no the clothes don’t fall over when you take some out. If I take one from the middle, I just slide the ones left in the drawer together. Now the really silky tanks, panties, and socks do need more structure. That’s why I use the dividers.

    Bananas mentioned shelves, as opposed to drawers for folding clothes. I have those in my closet for sweaters and jeans. I stack those clothes the traditional way. Some people use a container and file the clothes vertically in the container. To me, that is too much trouble. What I like is to be able to see the clothes at first glance. That’s why I like vertical in a drawer, horizontal on a shelf.

    Honestly, I would prefer hanging all my shirts and tanks, but our closets are small.

    Tracey – yes, they are getting special funding for cleaning. But I wasn’t told that I would ONLY be cleaning. I do have a number for using the register (to open it) and have been checking people out. When I first go in, I totally expect to clean things. But after an hour or so, there is just so much you can clean. And I’m only supposed to be cleaning in the front of the store. Well, most days I clean and then work on the register when it gets busy. But the monkey-monk has to see me only cleaning. That’s OK. Lovely family

    "Get to do"s and "chose well"s
    Chose well: dogs to powerline, pulled a little more salal, vacuumed hard surfaces.
    Bonus: pulled a big black garbage bag full of weeds, one load of laundry.
    Get to do: inventory donation then call for appointment, take pics of car, test Bluetooth speaker so can do BB&B or T’ai Chi from voice recordings, Pilot tech support 5034447924 to link subscription and fix login, make experimental almond paste, declutter sideboard, practice new dances (Nothing but You, Shake it like that, Larger than Life, Here I Go Again/Mama Mia, Real Deal, Get it Right); make garlic almonds for Barb and Dan; prep potato area and raised beds for beets, carrots, parsley root, parsnips, radishes and sow; weed drive again, finish weeding flower bed, mulch flowerbed; invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine. Reward: inventory seeds, plan fall cool season garden, order replenishments, figure out where to plant naked lady bulbs, Tuesday: call Progressive adjuster,
    Self Care September
    29: 3 things I appreciate about me: cheerful, grateful, fair to middlin’ honest.

    Cooler today so was able to dink around in the yard for a couple of hours.

    Katla I dare not use the self cleaning function in my oven. Last time it woke Joe up thinking the house was on fire and boy, was he mad!
    Lanette Why not all three? We could be watching you on TV with Brad P…, uh er Dr. Fauci ;) then on the Weather Channel then on National Geographic :)
    Machka rest = nap, recreation = line dancing (don’t’ have a pic but here’s one from Scottish dancing days-I'm the short one with her back to the blue plaid)

    , beach walking (see profile pic). Back in the day my BFF and I spent every New Years at Yosemite. Some of my fondest memories. This was taken on my 30th bday:

    (((Allie))): I hope all works out well. Being a mom isn’t for sissies. You are doing a great job. :heart:


    I have Halloween decorations up. Yay!!! Now I need to buy treats for potential trick or treaters. I don’t expect more than a few. Trick or treat is a month away, but our town celebrates Halloween every day in October. Festivities will be under way on 10/01.

    Friday, 10/2 is the day my dog will have surgery for cancer on his backside. I hope for the best. He’s a sweet dog and I would like to have lots more time with him. We have an excellent veterinarian. Keeping my fingers crossed and sending prayers for a good outcome.

    Tracey - Lovely pics! <3

    Allie - I send hugs and hope he can open up to some help.
    I lived a long way away from my son when he was in a poor way with anxiety and depression. I visited him a few times, but I think it was good for me that I couldn't see it close up every day. It hurts so much. I worried at a distance, but he eventually pulled it around. Getting his two greyhounds really helped him through the worst. Now I see him flourishing. You are a loving and caring mother. <3

    Going to get my phone sorted today. Can't decide whether to put the screen protector on. I will take it with me and ask the man in the shop.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    As we come to the end of September, I'll ask ...

    What does R&R (rest and relaxation) mean to you?

    Sleep? Exercise? Hobbies? Meditation? Other?

    Do you have a photo that would be the picture of R&R for you? :)

    My mother's response ...

    Not "having" to do "something."


    How very true!!
