Hi mouseanne... don't forget those who work in healthcare. Sometimes I used to work in the ER with trauma patients. We always were busy on holiday weekends with all the intoxicated people doing stupid stuff, especially during the wee hours of the morning. Yesterday I started getting things accomplished, but there are areas where decision fatigue sets in quickly, and I fizzled out and went to do some work for my classes. ta-da's: After spending time on social media. Made and ate breakfast. Wiped out the sink Went out and got the mail. Cooked some eggs in the pressure cooker for later. to-do: I think I'll do play the dice game again, although I need to put some "fun" activities on the list. Yesterday I quickly felt overwhelmed with all of the drudgery of it all. Things that need to be done: Clean the kitchen/fridge and dining area. Water houseplants and garden work Fun thing: Work on that quilt that I started years ago.

mouseanne, what has you itching so? Cortisone cream may work better than that dreaded pink stuff! Ta-da's Went for a walk DH wanted help removing the filter from our AC unit, which I helped him with and then put it back in. Made up dice game list, which had me cleaning in the kitchen. I was able to get rid of a few things. to-do: Water the houseplants... maybe some outdoor plants as well. Continue to play the dice game. List is posted in dice-game thread.

Hi all! I would have been back an hour ago, but DH had the computer tied up. Watered the houseplants, and some outdoor potted plants. Sewed 2 patches over the small holes where a mouse chewed on an insulated grocery shopping bag. It didn't chew through the lining, just the outer cover. Did a little tidying up while I was at it. Put the bags in the car. (My problem is that I always forget to take the in my car.)
to-do: Continue with the dice game? Clean another shelf or two in the fridge. Review lessons for school.

Ally, dratted mice! TaDa 3 more boxes 8 drawers emptied Still kinda working scattershot in the sewing room, but progressing. Made a banana breakfast bar for my gathering take. I think it's a fail. I used steel cut oats. The batter didn't look like it would hold together. Rolled oats spread out and cling to each other. The steel cut are just pebbles. So...increased flour from 1/4 cup to 1 c. Poured in some milk, two eggs instead of one. We shall see. I have grapes I bought Fri I can take. Put a box of fabric in the car to give my out of town friend I will see tonight. Yay! (Both the seeing and the giving)

I'm equivocal. If I say they're granola bars, which they are, they're ok. A bit chewy/crunchy. I'm taking them.
