Put away dry dishes. Put away the rest of the dry clothes. Started dishes soaking. Wash dishes. Make bed, have water and meds. PUPA 5 minutes. Spend extra time on paper processing. Sweep corners and mop kitchen floor. Start pulling dandelions. I knew if I kept watching I'd find the ones I didn't get last fall!

BetsyMarie Perfect! It's daylight, but I feel positively batty. TA-DAH 1. Unlocked shed and pulled out snow thrower 2. Drained snow thrower 3. Set fire to brush pile (the neighbour two doors down had the same idea, but less smoke from his) 4. Started pulling out items to clean the shed, but saw wasps crawling inside the southern wall. So pulled outdoor rug out (had it for several years, finally using it) 5. Put fogger into shed to kill hornets, wasps, ants, etc. 6. Mini-load of laundry 7. Changed furnace filter 8. Set up purchase order for regular shipment of furnace filters 9. Rolled out the outdoor rug and immediately sprayed with garden-friendly ant killer because there were ants all over it. TO DO 1. Pick up package from post office 2. Put away dry dishes 3. Mini-load with previous one to make a full load for dryer.

PUPA 5 minutes. Wash dishes. Made bed, had water and meds. Go for a walk. Get dressed. Declutter at least 5 things. Work 5 minutes on the boxes. Write out questions for next week's phone calls. Spend extra time on paper processing. Sweep corners and mop kitchen floor. Start pulling dandelions. I knew if I kept watching I'd find the ones I didn't get last fall!

Sat TaDa Dried bath towels Steam load kitchen linens Sewed 90 minutes A Zoom devotion Eggs to hb in instant pot Made 3 deviled, ate Made 2 potato 2 egg potato salad, oOo, perfect amount for me. Just enough to enjoy a few times, and not get to the point, am I STILL eating this? Made 1 can, 2 egg tuna salad, with leeks and apple Put a bit of each on a plate to sample, oOo yum. Into fridge for later and Sunday. 4 hb eggs into fridge, I can eat for breakfast, or make another salad.
It was like chain cooking, I mixed the pot salad in the bowl I cooled eggs in...same spatula, spoons in the mayonnaise and relish. Worked great.
Hmmm, getting low on eggs. Added to phone list. I use OurGroceries ap. Free. They have an upgrade. Shrug. Works for me, and I'm not into piddling away $.
