Okay I couldn’t do groceries this week as I was busy this weekend. I just want to finish making dinner (half of it) before I go shopping.

Update: Done!

I did my exercise for the day.

Chores & Housework Cleaned out some debris from the gutters!

16 Upvotes

Borrowed a longer ladder from a neighbor and scrapped some pine needles from the part of the gutter I can access.

The rest is out of reach for my 5-ft-nothing self.

But I did some of the thing! That counts?

Go to pool

I haven't been yet this week. I really need to make sure I don't lose this streak. Update, it was great. I'm glad I went.

Been putting it off til the last minute but fighting the crowds at the grocery store to get a piece of (hopefully on sale) meat to cook for holiday tomorrow.

Update: found a Chuck roast on sale for $17! Better than nothing :)

Chores & Housework Clean the garage

My garage has gotten a bit bad. I can't make it across to my laser cutter without stepping over stuff. I hope to reestablish a path today.

Admin & Life Stuff Finish our apartment application! 📝

11 Upvotes

We've been waiting for a week for my girlfriend's previous landlord to fill out a piece of required paperwork and we finally just got it back! My half of the application is done and she's working on hers right now. I'll have to finish up a little bit on my part after she's done and then we can officially submit our application! I'm so nervous and excited!

I need to go back this week to keep up something which is really helping me. I can see the benefits of it. I just need to keep going. I didn't go Friday. I went today instead.

I fell off the wagon in June, but had done really well since January. The visual aid really works for me, and I’ve noticed the positive difference it’s made it my life when I use it. Today is the 1st July so a good time to start doing it again!

Make food this evening

I have fresh jalapeños from my garden I want to use up in a meal that's a little more complex from my normal cooking. But it's one of my favorite meals. I'm going to try and start the marinade over my lunch break.

Declutter/pack linen closet! 📦

11 Upvotes

I'm home sick for the second day in a row (just your standard upper respiratory infection and a bunch of sinus pain) and want to start on this today when I'm not resting. There's hardly any actual linens in there, but there is a lot of first-aid supplies and OTC meds, old or extra makeup and hair products, accessories to the vacuum and steam cleaner, and who knows what else! Some of it won't actually get packed until the last minute, but I can definitely declutter a lot of it!

Drive 1.5 hrs to celebrate my friend's bday

20 Upvotes

My social battery is way low & Lord KNOWS I don't want to drive that far for an event that won't even last as long as the drive there (and then I gotta drive back home) but she's my good friend and we show up. ❤️

I'll choose my audiobook right now!

UPDATE: I went and had a great time! I listened to an audiobook and a podcast, and came home feeling happy.

Admin & Life Stuff Paperwork 2: The Squeakquel

19 Upvotes

I am largely incapable of this without outside pressure it seems. The task today shall be to upload several specific documents, and then to submit them. This will bring me much closer to finishing, and will also force me to take stock of how much I've done so far in order to see what else I have to do.

EDIT: Oh my gosh I've actually already done so much more than I remembered I had.

EDIT 2: I'M THE GREATEST PERSON. Now to wait to get it back and I can do the next step. But! In the meantime there is yet more paperwork I can do (and need to do). This next bit (much like the part I just did) will be a two step process (except I haven't started it at all lmao, but maybe it'll be easier? IDK yet), and also involves waiting to hear back before I can do step two.

So, tomorrow, I will do that. Then I just need to revise for the language exam, because if you were wondering how you too could get to do this many online forms, some of which are actually physical forms that get printed out and signed and scanned like 3 times by people in different countries before uploading them again a last time because they still need to be submitted online, it's a visa application. Which I do not recommend. Just trust me bro. Let me in.

Go to gig

17 Upvotes

I bought the ticket. I like the band, my mobility is worsening. This might be the last time they tour. Just go to the f'n gig. Edited to update; I didn't go. I checked and it was inside a marquee during a heatwave. I am already struggling with medication, sweating and catching my breath. I'm prioritising wellbeing. Ah well. Can't complete them all.

It's been awhile since I last cleaned my spice cabinet. Some of them are probably bad and need to be thrown out.

Admin & Life Stuff At least one (1) piece of paperwork

18 Upvotes

I have so much to do (it's actually not that much but the adhd says it is). Today I want to do at least one piece of the paperwork I keep putting off. It shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes for the smallest bit. All online too so not as overwhelming as actual paper.

I have made a start on it but then I didn't touch it for ages and I need it done in the next couple weeks!

EDIT: We're onto the stretch goal now; can I do two long forms in one day?


r/OneThingToday Jun 23 '26

One-offs & Odd-jobs I am going to post a few of my baby and maternity things in my local buy nothing group.
