Virgo Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Welcome to Daily Goals! cleaned kitchen, dining room, and living room started laundry/put some away went to the gym balanced my check book (that's always fun ) Made some calls for quotes for the garage. A friend came over to add an extension to the rain shower head, but it didn't work out. I need to order a different part. My daughters and I are going out for dinner before church tonight. I'm going to see if my dad wants to go along. I've really been missing my hubby and mom the past few days. Bursting into tears, which hasn't happened in awhile. I'm trying to keep myself busy and fight the urge to crawl into my bed. I actually started making my bed every morning so I wouldn't get back in it. It works! Tomorrow will be 16 months.

IfIonlycould Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hi Virgo, Trying and Needytoo-Wow! You have all been busy getting it done! Welcome here tmppgh-we remember what it was like to just have a goal of getting up and showering! Just take it one day at a time and go easy on yourself. I remember having a conversation with my therapist. I was frustrated because I seemed unable to get anything accomplished and I had alot to get done...I had to get a house on the market to sell and all I wanted to do was sit on the couch and cry. He told me to paint the window trim and cry...I would have still gotten the cry out and something would have gotten done too. He promised me I would feel just a little better afterwards and he was right. Well, I keep getting sidetracked from my posted goals, it seems like something is always popping up (including terrible rain storms!) to move me in a different direction but I am still getting stuff done. I finally have all of the patio stones that I was removing moved to the side of the house for the trash cans to sit on...WOW! anyone here ever move those 2x2 patio stones? Thank God I had a dolly. The patio is now down to a more reasonable size (it was 26x16 with no bedding around it..I took out enough to make a flower bed area on one side and a border on the other now it won't be just one massive expanse of stones). I planted some flowers but not all. Got sidetracked to fix a plumbing issue. Rain brought me inside so I went down to basement and continued to sort and purge. So again the patio project continues! This weekend: Get the bedding area cleared out of remaining base sand. Amend the soil. Plant perennials in the bed. Mulch the bed. Spray flower pots (I have the plastic pots that I spray paint a high gloss black --makes them look like ceramic without the weight and can't tell they are not ceramic!) Plant annuals in the pots. Vacuum and dust house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needytoo Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hugs tmpphg2015. IfIonlycould I still feel I don't get enough accomplished. Wish that feeling would stop. Well my week didn't go as plan. Had to euthanize our old cat and kids were very against it. Told them he passed at home. Driving back my low tire pressure went on. Thought I better get that taken car of so I drove to Honda. I was making a left turn into honda on a busy road, waited for the light to turn yellow, looked clear and turned and then got hit by a van. Grrr. Got the car and tire fixed. Was not a fun day. Now our dog has diarrhea and I am worried sick (she gets diarrhea often eats anything). Last week I was at work everyday and I have been laid off. This week I for another meeting that stretched out for the whole day. I calmly pointed out I am not getting paid so supposely they are going to try to get some pay for me. Next week they scheduled me for another three meetings, hello people hire me back. Didn't get my husband's car towed away. Think I might have found someone that can use our old boat. Put down landscaping cloth in one flower bed and planted it. Planted 8 hanging baskets, 6 more to go. Next flower bed is a real disaster I think I should rent out a rototiller.

Virgo Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 I forgot about going to the bank, and ended up living the item I wanted to return at home. Other than that everything else got done. My daughter will have to study the guide they gave her and return to take a test. Nice having individual time with her today. That doesn't happen very often.

Trying Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm in full on panic and list making mode with the up coming move and putting my house up for sale!

Virgo Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm marking more items off of my list. My daughters and I worked on cleaning out the garage more again today. We worked for about 6 hours. Tomorrow I have someone coming to give me an estimate on hanging insulation and drywall. Hopefully this estimate is more reasonable then that last estimate I got. I have 5 gallons of change ready to take to the bank. My Jeep is loaded for a run to the dump. I already made another trip to the Good Will. I also made it to the gym today!

Needytoo Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It took a long time but I finally can say the yard is back to its glory with exception of a few dead branches on some trees. All flower beds weeded, landscape cloth put down, mulch covered and flowers planted. It was very drooling hard work but I did it all by myself. Now onto my patio. Weeds are now all dead and need to be removed. Going to wash the patio stones down, put this polymer stuff in the cracks and paint the fence.

Virgo Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Landscaping maintenance is on my list too! I'm just waiting for a nice day. We've had a lot of rain. I detailed the interior of my Jeep yesterday. It needed it desperately. It needs a good wash and wax, but again I'm waiting for some nice weather. I went through the basement and gathered more items to take to the dump. Years worth of paint cans and remnants from house projects. Why do we save stuff we think we might need later? It feels good clearing things out. We have family visting from out of town this week, so I'm not sure what I'll get accomplished. I did pick up some more paint Thursday for two of my painting projects. We'll see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgo Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Showing the house is the worst part of selling. I thought it was worse than packing. Yes, just breathe. You're getting a lot accomplished in a short amount of time. You can only do so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needytoo Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Never ever let mother nature take over a patio. Wow it is hard to get it back but I think I am finally winning. Weeds are gone, new polymer sand put between the pavers (huge nasty job did it on my hands and knees), now cleaning the pavers and will seal them on Sunday and then paint the fence then onto next project.

DonnaP Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Washed my kitchen floor last night. It's been on "the list" for ages. It could use another go-over, as the dirt was fairly well embedded. haha. But it's a start! I've also been experimenting with a ton of new recipes, trying to use all the produce I get in my weekly farmshare basket! It's been a culinary adventure! I almost forgot how much I enjoy cooking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
