Although my husband & I aren't out of work because of Coronavirus (which I am most thankful for), he is sticking around the house more. Therefore, I have an ever-growing honey-do list. On today's to-do is to assemble 2 new end tables that arrived last week. The boxes look nice sitting in the living room, but it is now time to open them. We better be taking a drive to the dump today...

Meet with my training group outdoors twice. As of today, we're still allowed to do so in Michigan and we're following strict protocols for distancing and hygiene.

Train on my own at least twice.

Play golf a couple of times. Golf courses are open, but bars & restaurants that may be associated with them are carry-out only. Again, my course is following strict protocols about spacing, group size, number of people allowed in the clubhouse, etc. We'll probably walk and pull rather than take a cart so that we can maintain distancing.

Talk with my accountant about the status of my tax returns and if Michigan has changed the filing date to match the feds.

Clean out my HBA storage closest. I've got a lot of stuff jannmed in there and it's getting hard to figure out what I do and don't have.

Significantly cut back my exposure to social media.

Play fetch with the dog.

Good on you! I also need structure. During this cooler, rainy, 10 day period, I updated family budget, went through future travel plans, created home maintenance lists (I'm a list person) and cleaned up a lot of computer files in Word. Also painted front and back door and cleaned master closet.

Breakthrough this week with sun and warmth and I'll get more active. I'm that simple. Those blinds and ceiling fan blades are not going to dust themselves. More closets to clean. Will break it to hubs that we're moving around furniture in basement rec room. I'm thinking my grand fanale will be switching from winter to summer clothes in closets and determining what goes into my give away bag. I hasten to think my grand finale will be switching from summer to winter clothes. Can't even think about that.

Good luck to you -

Considering this our spring cleaning time. Would love to clean carpet -- but have to wait until we can have people in the house.

Truth be known -- I'm not feeling energetic. Need to get outside and walk in good weather. My row machine is calling my name, but I have selective hearing.

You guys sound like me. I have scrubbed down bathroom tile floors (yes on hands and knees), done a deep clean on all three baths. I have already done those fans, treated and cleaned all the hardwood floors.

Two bigs tasks in front of me this week are pantry and my own closet again. No think I will also shampoo my area rugs with the Hoover steam vac.

Trying to keep going but house is anything but inspiring, right? LM

*. Spray down screen porch, give it and furniture good scrubbing

* Bring porch cushions out

* Bath dogs, brush well

* Give cars a good clean inside and out

* Start spring pruning, nose around and see what’s up & blooming

* Give the closets a good purge

* Breath deeply

But today, I’m reading a good book & enjoying the spring breeze with DH and doggies, wine may be involved later

I'm not on any tight schedule but am trying to get something productive done everyday.

This past week I cleaned out all refrigerators (I have an old side by side in the garage) and freezers (I have a chest freezer in the garage too. I also stocked up on a lot of frozen & non-perishable items.

This week I plan on getting my closet organized (again!) and giving the master bath a good scrubbing.

I also need to clean & organize the basement where I have my workshop for my Etsy business (that I put on vacation temporarily)

Once the basement is done I have a TON of scrapbooking supplies and many photos that need to be organized and make make a few scrapbooks of old family vacations & the kids....I was going to get around to it someday.

Who knows how long this might go on?!!....I'm not a gardener but if we're still in isolation by warm weather I make take up a bit of gardening and maybe growing some vegetables.

Pretty much like it always does, except the weekends, I won't be doing my regular shopping at my favorite stores. And work will be extra stressful and hoping and praying no one from work gets sick.

Monday: work

Tuesday: work

Wednesday: work

Thursday: work

Friday: work

Saturday: work in the yard

Sunday: work in the yard and clean the house.

At least I'll be saving $ by not shopping on the weekends.

If I was off, I think I would be painting, and cleaning out the garage once again.

@ jeanlake
Thanks for putting pencil to objectives and setting example. I was just thinking I needed to do that or my days might waste away. I have started several things but fail to stick to it.
