Good very late morning, guys and dolls! Wow! Everyone accomplished quite a bit yesterday. I'm sorry to read about WITers struggling with problems, but glad you're here. I fell into an existential hole yesterday afternoon, but there's no time today to question why I'm here and where I'm going. Tomorrow I go back to work for three days before classes officially start again, so today I've quite a list.
TA-DAH 1. Got out of bed 2. Dressed 3. Ate a little and made coffee
TO DO Everything. But first... 1. Go to the bank and get the insurance payment in the mail 2. Finish undecorating 3. Shake the tree outside to dislodge the dust before bagging it up

Hey seahorse good work on the dishes. I, also have to deal with compost today. I know what I need to do with mine, we have a compost heap at the back of the garden and a worm farm - my issue is getting off my butt and doing it. The meringues - they were easy enough to make, basically just egg white and sugar beaten together then baked really slowly, more drying than baking. My presentation wasn't good, I just put blobs on the baking sheet but they tasted OK. Actually they tasted great, especially with whipped cream and fresh fruit! Would I make them again? Maybe... But only for a few special occasion. One thing I like about baking or making things from scratch is how aware I am of the ingredients, of what I am eating. The meringues had a cup of sugar in them and very little else! I have been real sweet tooth so once I start eating sweet food I find it hard to stop. When I know what I am eating I find I have more control. I cannot bring myself to make anything which requires icing (I think Americans call it frosting) because it is basically just a whole lot of sugar and fat - no wonder it is so delicious! OK - that went on longer than I intended... Obviously procrastinating... Made appointment Went and visited hens Made breakfast and looked at the mess in the kitchen Shower Kitchen Tidy sitting room and maybe get the vaccum cleaner out

razy - the meringues sound yummy! My fave that I've ever tasted had chocolate chips folded in - as if they don't already have enough sugar. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/GuBQQkiwyXxnHbJKesLq.gif) I hear you about the compost - even the times when I have had a compost heap or bin at my own residence, I had trouble getting it out there. DONE Washed a few more dishes Rinsed out a few containers for recycling Forgot to look at my previous list and have already sat down for a break Oh - but found 2 library books that I want to return while in town tomorrow TO DO Take a few more dirty dish items I found in bedroom down to kitchen Wash 1 dish Start making TO DO list for trip to town tomorrow
