For those of you who are new to the thread, the goal is to come up with three things each day, and to do them. :) It is always nice to go to bed feeling that you accomplished SOMETHING, and this thread is here to help you do just that!!

Why three? A good friend of mine once told me that he feels that is a good number to shoot for each day, to feel that his day wasn't frittered away with little insignificant time-wasting things. But if three doesn't work for you, and you think you can only commit to two, or even just one good thing a day, you are still welcome to join!

I got one of the camper comforters washed, so that's not going to be laying around. One more to do, probably not today. I have to dry it by hanging it over the exercise bike and there's only room for one at a time. Those should have been washed a long time ago. I want to get them both out of the bathroom so I can deep clean in there before Christmas.

Yesterday's list...

1. Remove tomatoes from dehydrator and grind? freeze?

2. Go through harvested tomatoes seperating ripe from under ripe - ripe in to dehydrator

3. Go through spices and get order ready

4. Organize a few things in the stockpile


I did absolutely nothing. It was rainy and dreary all day long and since DH was out and about most of the day I camped out on the couch with a blanket and the remote. I munched and watched TV all day. :p

________________________________________________________
Today I scrubbed the shower and tub, took care of the tomatoes and organized the stockpile. Spices can wait a few more days.

Not sure what I'll do tomorrow but there's plenty to choose from.

Well, so far no bed change...very little on the counter...some but not a lot...BUT...BUT...I've got I think 6 loads of laundry washed, dried or hung AND put away including the bed blanket...no small feat for me.

I may get more on the counter done and get to the bed before I hit it. We'll see....my back is shot.

This rainy weather blob is still sitting right on top of us. Been here for three days and isn't supposed to move out until tomorrow. It's so stinking muggy and dreary here it's hard to get motivated. But chores await so I think for today I will...

1. Get a hard clean on the bedroom (dust, windex, wipe doors, etc.)
2. Hard clean on bathrooms (tub and shower were done yesterday)
3. Remove and wash shower liner and curtain

3/4 Today

Dropping off and picking up the car threw me off kilter and harvesting, cleaning, prepping the veggies is always time consuming...no matter how small the harvest. Bills and budgets didn't get tended to so...

Thursday's list:

1. Pay bills/update budgets

2. Make fresh tomato sauce and freeze

3. Household and my laundry
