Routine Saves Me....
Routine is really a life saver for me. I am much more content w/ a "plan" every day... even if it is a check off list of what others might see as nonsense or something that I can just do tomorrow.
This week is Zone 3 / LR and Dining. I have already done a lot but I guess I need to get into the habit. I do not like doing baseboards and walls. I guess I can at least wipe them down w/ the swiffer mop. I have very few things to "dust". I HATE to dust and mop. But I bought a Swiffer Mop and I think it is going to make me do much better. I don't mind toilets, sweeping, pulling weeds, laundry... but I HATE mopping and dusting. Fly Lady at least holds me accountable.
It was beautiful at the park tonight. There were a lot of ppl on the trails. I love going out there. It is peaceful and there is something nurturing about the sound of gravel under my feet. There is water out there.... ponds and ducks and geese. A lot of trees and grass. The rain has really made it nice. And they do a great job of keeping it nice. My trail goes right by the dog park. There are always so many ppl out there. I'm glad to see dogs out w/ their ppl!
3 classes tomorrow.
No drama today. In fact ... a message saying that she was going to take the shorter route to go to the doctor. I'm so thankful. I just still do not want drama. And I have minimal to say... and just drop it. I refuse to go on and on.
Hopefully I can get some walls painted this week and a few more baseboards... that wld be great... just make progress a little at a time.

So happy that you are having a good day and also well wishes for a good week/weekend ahead, Yes schedules do save
us. For me it is a way to not be scatter-brained.It allows you to pace yourself through the day- spend limited time on
each task and not over exert yourself on any one given task.
I have items to discard (mostly paperwork) and also I have numerous tools to organize( and misc hardware items).
It is so funny how you can put these things off,
I also have to organize and pack a few things in the garage for goodwill and such.
I have a number of things to get done. I got my front steps re- done in all granite- and the company did not do the
measurement for the top landing correct so I have not been able to put the wrought iron railings or anything back yet
because they cannot fit if the measurement is not correct. The owner of the company refused to correct this and
I cannot deal with the whole court thing-because he is so mean spirited that even if I win- like Im afraid to have him
even in the vicinity. It is not worth it to me, My peace of mind is always the goal for me so I will just get another company.
My brother had a cardiac ailment so I will leave for a few days to go visit him before he returns to work. He was on a months
vacation.
And yes I do I have a few weeds to pull. I love to garden, We have property out of state which I returned from a week ago,There
is a lake in the backyard,It is so peaceful and you can see families of ducks in a row when you are lucky,The evergreens are
tall like skyscrapers.It is really nuts but beautiful.The air is so pure and plentiful.It would be nice if the whole world was as peaceful.

I also like routine, I stick to mine everyday or I would go crazy.
I get up at the same rime, feed the dog at the same time and clean the bird cage everyday at the same time. I also eat at around the same time everyday and make myself clean one room every day that I'm off but my nights off are mine to do as I like, it works for me, lol
You get a lot more done than I do though, lol
