I put the stones back and filled the bird bath. It seems to be holding the water well. There is rain in the air so it may be hard to tell if we have stemmed the flow but it looks better.

95/100.
One of those days where I'm feeling overwhelmed by chores and don't know where to start. You ever have those days? You feel kind of paralyzed and end up doing nothing, right? I'm finding what helps me is to start in the corner of the kitchen with dishes and go from there.
First, I clear off my drying rack area:
It wasn't bad today, just a couple of things. The mug stays there; it's what I put cutlery in to dry. The yogurt container is for compost.
Next, I have to finish filling up my dishwasher and running it.
I got a new countertop mini-dishwasher recently because my old dishwasher stopped working and I couldn't keep up with hand-washing. The old dishwasher is pretty old--over 15 years old, probably. I didn't think it was worth getting repaired. However, I wasn't sure I wanted a new full-size dishwasher to replace it. My eldest child just went off to university this year and my youngest child is only with me part-time. The rest of the time I'm by myself. Do I really need a full-size dishwasher for 1.5 people? Also, I'm really thinking ahead to possibly downsizing at some point. Plus, I didn't want to deal with having to get a plumber to install a new unit at this time. So, I decided to try this cute little thing. It was on sale. (I can't remember the price off the top of my head, I think it came to about $300 CAD including taxes and shipping?) Jury is still out on whether it was a good buy. It's VERY small. But I knew it would be mainly for dishes and cutlery, not pots and pans. I'm okay with hand-washing a few things, just needed a little extra helping hand so I wasn't drowning in dishes every day. So from that standpoint, it's fulfilling its purpose.
Lol, I know the before and after pics look the same but I DID squeeze a few more things into the dishwasher. What's left is mostly things that just need to be rinsed out: my Turkish coffee pot and French press, a pot I steamed veggies in, a takeout container that will go in the trash.
In clearing off the stovetop I discovered I still had about a half cup of coffee left in the French press. Woohoo! Yay me! ☕
In the sink I have: a cat food tin and a meat tray (the brown stuff is just coffee grounds). These go in recycling but I like to wash things out before putting in the recycling bin so that things don't get stinky in there because a) stinky recycling is 🤢 and b) it won't attract raccoons and rats that way.
Now, I have to take a break from dishes for a minute to deal with laundry. I had put this laundry outside to dry the other day but I want to run it through air fluff in the dryer to suck out lint and soften the fabric up a bit.
That big box with what looks like a little doorway is what the mini-dishwasher came in. My cat loves it! His own personal little fort. 😆 I guess I'm keeping it for now.
Here he is enjoying his privacy:
Ok, back to the kitchen, I have a pot roast I wanted to put in the crockpot for dinner. Hopefully it's not too late!
Oops! I forgot about the max 10 photos per post. Stay tuned for my next post if you want to see the pot roast!

Do you have much to do? Or is it sometimes a bit boring if you have nothing to do? Sounds harsher as I meant it 😅
Actually, it gets kinda boring when there are no people in the store but I always try and find something to do!

If you like to keep a tidy space but don't always feel like tidying up, I've found what works best for me is to turn it into a speedrunning game.
Pick a space that you want to tidy up and/or clean (ex. Couches/coffee table/end tables, office space, dining area, kitchen counters, bedroom, etc). I like to pick the space that I've been putting off on cleaning or just really needs some attention
Set a timer for 5 minutes (you can set it for 10 or 15 minutes if you want, I just do 5 minutes because it feels less daunting if a task to the lazy part of my brain) That's all you need, trust me.
Try to beat the clock! Pretend you have company coming over to spend time in the space you picked and make it presentable!
Once the timer goes off, if you're satisfied with what you did, then you can leave it at that knowing that part of your living space is cleaner than it was before. If you want to continue, then go ahead and continue!
You'd be surprised what you can get done in 5 minutes, believe me. And a lot of times, the hardest part is just getting started. Sometimes you have to go into a task telling yourself your just gonna spend 5/10/15 minutes working on it and then if you don't feel like continuing that's fine, you've still made progress. But most times (for me at least) once you do those few minutes of work, you'll be in the right mindset to continue working on it until you're satisfied.
I hope this helps my fellow procrastinators, and I in no way take credit for this idea. I think I found it on Pinterest in college when I didn't want to do homework 乁[ ◕ ᴥ ◕ ]ㄏ

Small Changes
Yesterday in an attempt to tidy the studio I made some small changes. I just switched out some cloth, trading what was in the trunk that I couldn’t see to the narrow cabinet and putting the big sheets I use for rag rugs and such in the trunk and switched the bookshelves too, moving the yarns to where the art supplies lived and the art supplies where the yarns lived and then I covered up the…
