I wish I could

I wish I could just wiggle my nose and all I want to do would be done. Not happening.
Today I would like to change up some storage, and move some things around. In my mind I can get it done, but lets see if it really happens.
The weather is mostly cloudy and blustery and that takes away my energy. This is the last bit of computer time I am allowing myself for now as I really should get busy.
If I get anything done I will report later. Meanwhile I have warm socks on my feet and a fresh pot of coffee. Who could ask for more?

I second that wish. It seems, it takes me longer and longer to accomplish these things.
Today I've been productive as visitors are coming. But I just keep wishing I was on top of things and not scrambling. My bedroom is becoming a bit of a dumping ground as I tidy everywhere else.
I stayed home two days in order to "catch up" and only managed to get a little done each of those days. But lucky I did that little.
I hope you get your stuff done.

Well, I got some done. If I had company that came more often more would be getting done. I take it you still substitute.

@GardenGerty I do still sub. So I do have days to get stuff done.
Glad you were productive. I did enough to see a difference.

Whenever I start with decluttering and arrangements around the house, things are done well in the mind but getting them in real action is very exhausting and sometimes the mission is aborted in between 
. I hope that you get done what all you plan to do.

That is so very true. I do get side tracked, but I am moving in the right direction.

@GardenGerty Getting distracted and side tracked is very common, but as long as we make little progress in positive way, that should be okay

I hope you can get some stuff done. I know how the cold can zap one's energy.

If the sun would just show from behind the clouds it would help the mental energy.

@GardenGerty I am sure it would, but we don't need to bake, either.

Forties here, with wind. I turned the heat back up to 68, but it is chilly in here.

I hope you manage to get some of the stuff you'd like done, done.
It was/is windy and blustery here today after it stopped storming. At least the thunder didn't keep waking me up like it did yesterday.
I did hear the trash can blow over but, since it's up beside the house right now, nothing fell out.
Have a good day.

I have accomplished some things. I have also taken it easy and my body really appreciates that. Using hot packs on the neck muscle that is sore.

@DaddyEvil Oh wow, I'd prefer heat over ice too! Are you still doing better with the sciatica?

@GardenGerty The chiropractor told me to use ice on my lower back and hip because heat will make the pain worse and slow healing. I'm not sure I believe him... Heat always helped me more than cold did.
I'm glad you were able to get some stuff done and I'm sure your body appreciated you taking it easy.

Well, I would ask for a nice cup of tea... but I'm with you on wishing things being done without actually having to do them.

Today I would really like to hibernate, but that is not happening. Hot beverages all around for all my friends if I could.

Good luck getting things done. Warm socks and hot coffee is a good combo.

I loved Bewitched and envied her nose. But I would never have married her husband who did not let her use it. I have socks on too and just had a cup of Lapsang Souchong tea. Loved it.

I had some herbal tea earlier, as I waited for another pot of coffee to brew. If my nose worked that way, I might have just stayed an independent woman.

In other words you would want to be like Bewitched but that would make life too easy for all of us so I guess that is why we cannot do that. I usually decide in my mind what and how I want to do something and then do it,

I know what you mean about finding the energy. Sometimes, it’s just hard.
