I love your mini-stories in list form! Good job on safari, with the punchline at the end. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I've been feeling very drained. I appreciate all your lively and informative posts. You have a TaDa book! What a good idea. Congratulations on your successful weekend. Dear goldenthreads, as always, thank you! Please, no need to apologize about a delayed response because you're under the weather. I hope you to feel better soon. TaDa book. It's just a cute little notebook. I have it just for this reason, i work and work and work, and it feels like nothing gets done. But, there it is, all recorded. No need to be discouraged, I did what needed to be done. Even if I blow off a weekend day, I needed some down time. It's my "you did too work" list.

The only things left in the box lid are a few papers and about 24 cassette tapes. Sigh. old music. I've been on the hunt for an electronic gadget which will play them.
Hmmm, recently, DD added me to family spotify. I could make a list of the cassettes, and play them from there, and get rid of the tapes?? ?? ??

Hersta snaffle piddle perdle! Blarsted theives. Love your curse words. They sound Anglo-Scandihoovian. If the blarsted theives aren't taking your measuring spoons they're knocking down Post-it notes and stealing socks.

Thurs TaDa Pre wrote 3 day weekend listzilla, that'll be less contemplation time in the morning Filled ice trays Sorted, rinsed, soaking 15 beans Hand washed strainer and 2 sorting bowls
Went thru avail curtains, compared them to laundry and kitchen Windows, no decisions, yet, neither exactly right, 1 set doable for laundry, but only have bottom (cafe) for 1 of 3 windows. I'll look in my master notebook and see if the fabric to finish the other two is logged, then see if I can find the right lettered/numbered box.

Sorted, rinsed, soaking 15 beans mouseanne, Woman of Mystery! Is she soaking 15 beans in a New Year's Ritual? Is she a descendant of Jack of beanstalk fame, continuing some family tradition? Would all be ruined if 16 were mistakenly soaked instead? Stay tuned to see if the secrets(s) will be revealed! You are really going to town on your wall and window planning. And keeping track of inventory! You're a reference librarian for your fabric supplies. Very cool. May your 2021 start well and remain satisfying.

I know we're a soap opera, with lots of lines of interest/info rolling... So, if you think back, I roasted a turkey Tues Wed, I slow cooked giblets in broth Yesterday I strained and fridged it. Next Up is baking cornbread for the dressing. Now, I like eating cornbread itself. I also actually LIKE beans and cornbread. So, I looked at the pile of bags of beans on my counter. The top one was: linkI buy a ham steak. I cube it, and use it in soups, beans, scr eggs, quiche, salads... I have a new one. So I might make ham and beans, or I might use the turkey... So last night was it to add interest to my TaDa list? Hmm, possibly...or maybe mousie just wanted beans to eat with her yummy cornbread. The mystery continues. Turkey weekend goals: possibilities Canning turkey meat in broth Freezing just turkey sealameal Making turkey meal sets turkey, giblet gravy, dressing, in sealameal baggies for the freezer I'm a little late to the party, but I like having lots of frozen meals ready to grab from the freezer for dun da da dun, TAX SEASON. did you hear the trumpet fanfare? Did it make your blood run cold?My friend was laughing at me, you and your turkey, you do this every year. Then you have to deal with it. (I get the biggest one.) Well, yes. 1. I like turkey 2. Price, it's the best value meat. It's under $1 per pound. The bigger birds have a higher meat to bone ratio, so, generously, say 20% bone, (it's prob less) so $1.20/lb. 3. Think Bubba, a la Forrest, Forrest Gump: trad turkey meal, turkey enchiladas, turkey sandwiches, turkey noodles, turkey veg broth soup, turkey creamy cheesy soup, turkey and dumplings, turkey pot pie, turkey queso.... Inventory? Hmm, when I was planning buying a house/moving, I started packing the fabric hoard. As I packed a box, I wrote a list. In a 3 ring binder. I kept track of the binder. I moved Oct 2019, had knee replace surgery nov. I'm still setting up house. Fabric is still in boxes. But I have a place to start when I go on a hunt.

Turkey rice... Turkey chili... Self care report I've been doing way better on daily inhalers, flonase Tues and Thurs I went to chiro, emphysema coughing tightens my upper back, plus I'm old, ya know? Wed I had a 4" haircut, stylist and I discussed 4" and 6", she though 4" would be enough to smooth up the ragged ends For girls only: Thurs morning, I was looking at it, and thought she must have gone with 6", them, I realized my points of reference were off, I didn't have a bra on, yet. I have d'quervan's in right wrist, it's like carpet tunnel, cept it's the thumb channel. It's acting up and I wore my brace at night Wed and thurs. Go, me! Fri TaDa Inhaler 1 Dress, hair up Looked thru art for bedroom Switched calendars 2020 is a blessing one, looked thru it to see if I want to get a poster board and hang a few... Gah! Hoarder! I'm still thinking about it, tho... Moved a dining room box of shoes to go for repair to library closet floor So...part of my cluttery problem, is my mind is cut and dried. I decided "such" will go this drawer closet cupboard etc. Then all this random stuff sits out in the open, cuz to my fuzzy lil brain the things don't "go" with "such." Other, normal, people have cluttery drawers closets cupboards, mine are pristine. Their rooms look nice, mine are, well, you know, not. Tested 3 way bulb, no, 50 only, put back in the 100 only Looked for rubber band to put a note on the bulb, what? They have a place. Not there Added to shopping list Looked at weekend weather, need to set a Sun afternoon timer to plant bulbs in the 54* PUPA 9
