Looking for accountability partners (task check in) #2

Yesterday was pretty good. I accomplished my three tasks and some others. I feel a little unfocused this morning.

1. Tedious task.
2. Exercise.
3. Finish overdue book

4. Library

I have mended the jacket and washed it. I only bought one new t-shirt. Today I was at the gym and the training was so hard that I had to rest in bed afterward. I have been at the grocery shop, but have let this day be an easy one with regard to work.

Tomorrow I will dine out with a friend. No other plans.

I send my best wishes for your doings ...

I stayed up today and did chores. But it wore me out. I didn't really have the energy to work around the house. So I took a nap. I am resting for the remainder of the day. I wonder if I have a bug or if this is side effects of the booster. I hope everyone has a good evening.

Yesterday was okay. I was quite engaged in the morning and went on a brisk walk in the afternoon. I accomplished what I meant to but was pretty useless after 3 PM and fell asleep extremely early. This morning I am off to a slow start. Normally I'd have a few hours of work done by now.

1. Tedious task. The end is in sight. I may try to finish it today in a marathon session.

2. Homework
3. Exercise

I have had a relaxed day today and a visit to a restaurant. I am not going to make other plans for the weekend than shopping, groceries tomorrow and hopefully reach a church at a time when it is not so full on Sunday. Covid is growing again, so I try to be careful.

I hope everyone on the thread will experience a good and relaxed weekend.

I have 7 of 7 appointments for the week behind me now. Yay! I am tired as my brother had 2 back to back appointments this morning and it took 5 hours. I received good news while I was out. I’m scheduled with an excellent orthopedist next week to address the arm I hurt helping my brother up from a fall. I’m really happy about that. I will rest for a little while, enjoy a good meal and then get to work around the house.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Feeling overwhelmed today with the sheer volume of responsibility that I’m shouldering right now. I’m going to make a plan today and look for solutions and opportunities. I’ll also prioritize things.

Hoping everyone has a good Saturday.

The marathon session worked. I finished. I also exercised. No homework, though. I am not sure if I want to add that to the list today or just plan to do it on Monday. It's due Tuesday.


1. Exercise
2. Find something fun to do.
3. Start on homework. Use a timer. Do not overdo.
4. Revise goals for the month.


I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I did my responsibilities early this morning. I am free at the moment to relax and do what I want. I think I will work on music and do some art. I wish everyone the best! Happy weekend!

Jennifer, I don't know what to say to this. I don't want to hurt you, but I cannot understand that this is America. Where I live we can have help in the home (to do housework) for sick people (long term sick) and it doesn't cost much. We can have a nurse come home to us if we are very sick (long term sick). When my father was ill (terminal) a nurse came every day and looked after him and a GP now and then when he was at his death bed. Sometimes it can happen that there is not enough nurses like now in the pandemic time.

I wish you well living in a situation that puts great demands on you!

I have had a relaxed day today, only visited the grocery shop. I have repeated my CBT techniques and will go to bed soon, up early tomorrow to reach a sermon that is not over crowded.

A continued good weekend!

We have the same availabilities here. My mom is dead set against having help come in so it’s been difficult. I will sit down with her again and talk it through.

Thank you for your message and your well wishes.

Not sure I ever found something fun to do, but it was an ok day. Exercised, got a great start on the homework, listed goals but still am not sure where to focus. I may just jump around a bit this month after two months of focus on one specific project.

I'm not going to plan on getting any thinking work done today. I will work on a little this morning while my husband is still asleep but will shift to active tasks for the rest of the day.
1. Tidy house.
2. Dishes
3. Cook

I was really depressed this morning but did REST and self-soothing. I used the 5 senses and it really made a difference. I feel much better. I will finish self-care and then relax for the day. I'm ordering groceries now. I'll be glad to have more food. I hope everyone has a good Sunday.

Oh, I am glad to hear that America is still America. Mothers sometimes think they own us because they raised us, but they don't! Many years ago I read a book about mothers' strategies (to control their daughters) and how to use some strategies back on them. It talks about different "mother strategies", and helps us to identify with one or more "mother type" and then we are given beneficial strategies to not have to "bow for their wishes" but still be friends in one way or another. It really helped me.

It is still in print and they have it at Amazon or maybe you can borrow it from the library if interested.

My day has been good. Some small and young children celebrating Halloweeny have been here with their mothers. I hope that there will not come more because now I have very little "goodies" left.

I have an appointment with a doctor tomorrow and will not set up other plans for tomorrow then buying groceries and to work for a couple of hours.

Send my best wishes for everyone's doings!

Brilliant idea! Thanks for recommending it!

It was nice having a low stakes, puttering type day. I finished a book, exercised, and did some more work on my goals. I also did the dishes and some cleaning. I had cleared out some furniture to make room for a project a few weeks ago and was able to put everything back yesterday, so that was nice.

Today ...

1. Finish and post homework. Only one more hour on this.
2. Revision. Really dreading this. Would like to start rather than think about it.
3. Reading assignment

Hope you will benefit as much as I did from reading it!

My appointment with the doctor was OK.

I have got a brilliant idea today. Somebody stole my sewing machine. I want to buy a new one. When I was young I liked to sew some of my own clothes by myself. I want to take up that habit again. I am pensioned and can work if I want to or not work if that is the the option. For now my time is occupied, but later on I am free to use my time on sewing if I want to do that. After I decided that this is what I want, I felt much better and my breath became more regular.

Why should not old ladies feel well dressed and special? (By the way I think I will repeat the "mother-daughter" book). I want to have a life and live better. I cannot become younger. I will still become more tired then when I was younger, but I want to have that inner feeling of being well dressed. Old people can be beautiful too.

Plans for tomorrow:

- Up early
- Rest after breakfast
- Coffee
- 09:30 House-work
- 10: 30 House-work
- Lunch
- 12:00 House-work
- 13:00 House-work
- Make dinner
- Rest and enjoy life.

I wish everybody well with their doings!

I've had a busy day. I opened a lot of packages. I need to clean the cats' water dispenser. And then I will be done for the day. I hope all of you are well.

I hope you get that sewing machine!

Yesterday was a pretty productive day. I posted my homework without spending too much more time on it, exercised, did some errands, applied for a job, and started my revisions. I also reached out to some people with questions about something and got some extremely helpful responses back.


I have two meetings today, one this afternoon and one tonight. Other than that, I am going to keep pushing forward. Using my lists helps a lot.

1. More revisions. Just throw time at it.
2. NaNo
3. At least 15 minutes cleaning out garden.

Today has been a productive day since early this morning with the added bonus of it being a beautiful, sunny, breezy fall day so I’m taking breaks out on the porch with a good novel and a mug of eggnog frequently. I have therapy later on and my sister is coming by to help out. It’s a good day.

I hope everybody has a peaceful day.

Yesterday was pretty good. I would like to make more progress on my revisions than I have been, but I will take what I can get. Right now I will settle for building momentum. I am juggling some competing priorities but trying to move everything forward.


1. Revisions.
2. Test prep
3. Exercise

Hope everyone has a great day!

Yesterday was fine. Today I am going to use the whole day on decluttering a small room.

Send my best wishes for everybody's wellbeing!
