I need to empty the cats' litter box
But first I have to take the garbage cans to the dump

But the battery on the truck is dead

So I have to hook up the charger.

The door is falling off the mail box, so I have to wade through my husband's shop to find a nut and bolt

While I was away, the roof leaked again

The bucket on top of the dresser overflowed.

The veneer on front of the dresser has lifted

The water ran into a couple dresser drawers, soaked all the clothes and then warped the drawers.

The bank called complaining that they haven't received the check I mailed 10 days ago even though all the other checks I mailed then have all been cashed.

At this point I can't figure out if this is all overwhelming because my depression is coming back or if it really is all overwhelming!

6. Nose! Do not put cats outdoors unless you want some cat tortillas!
I have two litter boxes to do every day. It's like character building without the character or the building. lol

Well, at least I have managed that one chore every single day of this Ten Foot Depression. :)

2. I've always thought
that if you had a to-do list, that you had fought half the battle. I hope the other half goes better for you!

3. Well, I got the litter box emptied and I'm working on the to-do list.
And once again, I'm wondering if I slipped because I skipped taking some of my meds and my Vitamin D on-and-off for a week.

4. So it's a nice, warm (50ish - it's upstate New York ) day , and I
figured I would put the van on the charger this morning and get all the cans to the dump this afternoon.















Except now I can't get any of the doors on the barn open. I think they're all jammed by frost heave!

7. It's when the ground freezes and expands. It can do some strange things.

One year there was a hump in the road in front of the house. For about three days all I heard was thump-thump as each car went over.
