Today - already a busy beaver this morning:
-Put green hanging folders into fiance's file cabinet (done)
-clean toilet (done)
-unwrap a box of his kitchen stuff (done)
- put down kitchen rugs (done)
Tonight - bonus time:
-put away his kitchen stuff
-vacuum stairs
-pack suitcase with baby stuff and put in nursery
I seriously wish I had some time off to get more done - fiance moved in last week and then we spent this weekend one day cleaning his apartment and another with his family for his mom's b-day - so we got nothing unpacked. It's driving me nuts that everything's sitting there and I just want to have one really productive day getting stuff done. Unfortunately a lot of the stuff fiance has to go through. ARGH.Goals:
Lose 25 lbs (exercise at least 3 times/wk/eat healthy)
Spend less
Save more $ in ES
Do three things daily

I had a very productive day yesterday - before and after work. Of course, got so revved up I stayed up really late and am a little tired today. But I did figure out a solution for the bunny hay problem - I have two buns and their hay gets everywhere. I did some online research and created a hay dispenser for them that should help.
For today:
-blood tests (done)
-unload and reload dishwasher
-finish laundryGoals:
Lose 25 lbs (exercise at least 3 times/wk/eat healthy)
Spend less
Save more $ in ES
