Thanks for listening and providing support and ideas. I like the idea of delegating. My son needs some coaxing and instruction on how to do some tasks but he is capable of helping declutter so we can have a path for our plumber, electrician, etc. He should be able to call Soc Sec and ask why he has not received his missing check but he will need some help from mum to complete the SSI application.

When I made my list I was healthier but now have some illness that limits my energy to be productive. So add to my to do list - go see family doc about positive blood cultures.

I am going to try to focus on a few items at a time until I am less sick.

So far...

2. drive to town & have CBC drawn once weekly. Drive back to town next day to pick up med. I think my meds have to be high priority because if my mental illness gets worse that would limit my effectiveness to do just about everything.

5.Go to local garage: change oil, rotate tires, check fluid levels, fix piece of plastic from convertible top that has fallen off, get inspection sticker Went to garage and changed oil and got an alignment. Back tires are wearing unevenly so they could not rotate. Will have to save for new tires. They said my brake light bulbs are fine. no prob with wiring so I will take car back after payday and they can work some more on that and replace brake pads and rotors.

7. go to USPS & pick up mail from po box (haven't been there for > week) e done

8. pay water bill & electric bill (do I have enough money?) sent email to electric explaining I spent money on prescriptions and asked if I could delay payment - no problem - will apply for government assistance when program is taking applications early Nov

17. declutter the house so the repairmen can come in my house without falling This is a long term project. Son has already been helping with decluttering.

21. send PM to my friend here at psychcentral who has offered to give me free advice on the IRS issue (bless her heart ); I have made notes on what to ask but need to compose the PM now DONE just need to file papers with IRS and see what happens

22. respond to letter I received today saying my property is in violation of county code because of accumulation of rubbish/garbage & weeds/grass is higher than ten inches First draft letter is composed; I was going to redo to correct grammar/typos but now think I will just send as is

23. Drive three hours each way to dental school next week for evaluation by student dentist for my son & I because we have not had dental care for ten years because of low income. Then schedule appts for the actual dental care. We went last month for evaluation and return this week to begin treatment. Looking forward to a healthier mouth.

24. Drive my son to school & drop him off 1pm M-F & pick him up on the days he has to stay for fifth block M-Th. Son missed several days because I was too sick to drive.

This is the best I can do at the moment.
