Same here. FF, you always seem to get more done in a day than me, even though you dont get around so good. sometimes i wonder how you do it! It sure is nice to have my net back so i can catch up on all ya'lls journals. That stir fry sounds good. I do Asian style dishes all the time. Its a great way to use up garden veggies.

I hope your friend is okay! I'll remember Farmfresh's "Patricia" in my prayers.

I love it. I putter all the time. When people come over they can't stand it because I don't sit down. I stay on my feet and do "stuff".

I will tell you my secret weapon ... the putter!

That's how I get a lot done on my days off

Even on days I work (trashes me too, FF ), I manage to go to bed with a decently straightened house, clean sink, stove wiped down, litters cleaned, etc etc. My days off I tend to get quite a lot done, even if I have to leave to run errands (requires several hours of hiding after to get over it lol).

Sounds like some cool tech to me! You're my Yoda, FF! May the force be with you.

I will tell you my secret weapon ... the putter!

I start in early in the morning ... puttering. I rinse off the dishes and fill the sink with dishes and HOT water. Then I sit (and usually chat on here). In about 5 to 10 minutes I get up and shove the last of the dirty laundry down the close chute. Then I sit (and usually chat on here). In about 5 to 10 minutes I get up and start a load of laundry - maybe this time I will wash and rinse the plates, get a glass of iced tea and ... you guessed it SIT. If I do something particularly strenuous, like weeding a 20 foot row of okra from my little garden scooter (for example) I will actually have to lay down for about 30 minutes. Mowing my 40 x 120 lot (that is almost all garden and house and very little grass) plus my BIL's similar sized lot (where I am also planting) takes the better part of a whole day because I can only push the mower for about 10 to 15 minutes before I have to lay down (since by then my back is usually spasm-ing). I have always been a hard core multi-tasker, now with the added putter technology, I can still get quite a bit done in a day.

UNLESS I have to go to work. Work days I barely make it and when I am home I am totally trashed.

Work smart. Work short. Work often.

That's exactly what I'm doing this week. I feel like I've gotten very little done, because I haven't done big exhausting chunks of anything. But I just walked in DS's room and went, "aaah, that's better!" so I must have made more progress with getting little bits done than I realized!
