- animal control officer visit – to pick up the stray – looks like his family was found. Yay!
- headache – free pass on this day.
How to learn to be satisfied with accomplishing three things each day.
It made me
Relieved 
"It was hard at first, but ultimately freeing."
How I did it: Once I made the goal on 43Things I only allowed myself to write down three accomplishments a day. I'd gotten into the habit of writing a long list of tasks I'd achieved in order to make myself feel better about each passing day. Turned out it had the opposite effect and I never felt I'd done enough.
Only being able to take credit for three things each day made me more aware of a) how much I really do some days and b) how little quantity matters.
Lessons & tips: Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right? Had to admit to myself that this concept I've had for years that doing more is always better, or somehow makes me a righteous person at the end of the day. Feeling righteous can have the negative side effect of allowing you to act self-righteous. This is not good for one's relationships with others. ;D

- laundry
- sanding down and repainting a mannequin head for my Mom in law – who
makes sheepskin slippers, hats and other nice stuff. She needs the head to be prettified for Monday. - P.D. day for the kids. 2 of them were crazy tired/out of sorts. Managed to keep a level of sanity. That’s my accomplishment. (Autumn seemed so out of sorts, then I noticed her lips were quite swollen. Benadryl. Don’t know what she reacted to though.)
