Copying Megan's Numbered Points

I like that format so well. It's just perfect for when I have a lot of things on my mind. So, thanks, Megan - here goes! 1) I've gotten strong enough to actually do some cleaning, and I'm going to have Mark or Beixe fix me a pail of soapy water with a rag each day from now on. Then, I will scrub till the water gets too gray. Then I'll pour the gray water on the plants outside, in the summertime (if I can pour it). I want to think of other things I can tackle, too, and how to set things up so that I can manage them on my own. 2) I enjoy going outside early in the a.m., whenever I can. It makes for a much more peaceful day, even if I'm only out there a short time. And Leto LOVES it. 3) If I want to write longhand letters, I have to do so early in the day as well. Once things start distracting me, I never get them written. 4) I like starting creative projects in the early afternoon, so I feel like I have lots of time if I want it; however, it takes discipline to resist the computer until later in the day! :/ 5) I am going to get my pictures and shelves hung on Saturdays or some time when Mark is home or someone is! I really want to get it done! 6) I am going to go through the books I have out and organize them. After that, I will slowly bring in more and go through them. And I'll do the rest of the unpacking. I need help for that, too! 7) That's all for now. There are other things I'm already doing and are already a set part of the day, like scripture time, blood sugar tests, taking medicine, and spending time with Mark. We try to do things with Seth, but it's harder since he works so much. I mostly see him during the day, when he does his chores and we visit. Anyway, after (whenever!) I can fit these things into my day, I'll work on some more things and post about them too. Fascinating, huh?

I like that format too, then it's easier to read too! I'm glad you're feeling good, but don't wear yourself out too much with cleaning (that's what you always tell me!). :) Today we took Hunter to church for the full 3 hours (yikes!) and he was actually good! Well, I mean, better than I expected him to be... he's been sleeping for the last two hours too, yippeeeee! :)

You sound like Cinderella with all that scrubbing with a bucket and sponge until the water is too dirty!
You have lots of good things going on and it is SO good to figure out when your body and spirit work best.
Morning? Afternoon? Midnight?!
I would say that if I was there I would help you hang pictures, but we tried that and it never happened! We'd always get to talking and the kids would need things and then it would be time to go. So you'll probably get more done with me gone. I feel for you trying to get stuff hung and having to wait for help. Brooks and I get about one picture hung every two days and it is driving me crazy, but one of these days it will be done.
Good luck!!!
