Hello to everyone! Did stretches. Baked the last sheet of cookies that I didn't get to last night. Started baking the take-and-bake quiche I bought at the bakery yesterday. Shower and get dressed. Clean out purse. Go to pharmacy. Help with some editing of draft. (Work on it at library right after pharmacy?) Thoroughly clear and clean the kitchen counters (didn't finish last night).

Crust and filling edges of quiche are nicely browned, but the center is still liquid, so I've protected the edges with aluminum foil. The directions said to keep frozen, but I wonder if I should have let it thaw before baking. I keep going back and adding 5 more minutes +5 + 5... PUPA 5 minutes. Made bed, and had meds. Thoroughly cleared and cleaned the kitchen counter, and started soaking the dishes. Get dressed. Clean out purse. Go to pharmacy. Help with some editing of draft.

Hi goldenthreads . Hope the quiche ended up ok. You sure are preparing some delicious food lately! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ took friend's dog to vet appointment ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dogs out The quiche was good! I just don't like overdone edges, so that was a nuisance. The cookies are far too good. I love them. That's why I rarely make them. I've moved them to the top of the refrigerator, in hopes that I develop intermittent amnesia. I think I need to dump some on offer some more to others. You are outing yourself as a sucker for dogs! Treats in the LFL, taking your friend's dog to the vet, and sharing your home with your own dogs... For all we know, your vacuuming and mopping are all about the dogs as well! (You're a good friend, too.) Washed dishes. Cleaned out purse; I'd dumped it out a few days ago, but now I've dealt with the contents. Made card and gift lists, but only the names of the recipients. More work is needed! Get dressed. Go to pharmacy. Help with some editing of draft. (Work on it at library right after pharmacy?)

Good afternoon, missjean mouseanne . mouseanne, congratulations on the replacement car, and also on everything you've been getting done. May your rides be smooth. (I'd eat beans and rice most days before going back to powdered milk. Tried it once as an adult (used it some growing up), and it went into composting after a couple of years sitting on the shelf.) Had a text discussion about draft. Made bed, and had meds. Did stretches. Shower and get dressed. Wash dishes. Write out a plan for the editing: printouts of guidelines, steps, etc. Do some more editing of the draft at the library!

goldenthreads, i had bad experience from mom trying to save money and have us children drink it, yuk However, i was informed a few years ago, there's a trick: it isn't shelf stable, it goes rancid. THAT is the yuk. If you refrigerate or freeze it, it is fine. I have drank it straight, reconstituted, and it is fine. Not my preferred beverage, but acceptable. It's in my fridge, i dont have a deep freeze, and freezer space is limited. Yea, my car jumped from 2001 to 2017. I've never had a car payment. The budget is stressed. 1:40 Fri TaDa Report Dishes nearly done Previously, I had dug thru boxed tupperware, pulled as many bits with matching lids as i could. I've just washed all those.

mouseanne People who don't understand how money works get in trouble. I know you know how to stretch a dollar to compensate for actual needs that cost money. Thanks for explaining how to handle that milk. Took out recycling. Started dishes soaking. PUPA 5 minutes, including the yoga mat, which is normally out. It took half a minute to roll it up and zip it into its bag. Glad I timed it. Shower and get dressed. Wash dishes. Write out a plan for the editing: printouts of guidelines, steps, etc. Do some more editing of the draft at the library!
