oust Next thing you know, we'll be making Oscar the Grouch's pickle ice cream! Good job on working your pantry down. Weighed myself and took BP. First time in three weeks, and not as bad as I'd feared. Made bed and had meds. Started dishes soaking. Shower. Do stretches. In a few days: Pick up drugs from pharmacy.

Washed dishes. Showered and dressed. Put away dishes. Do stretches. Tomorrow: Do troubleshooting for my phone which is using data like mad in spite of the fact that Wi-Fi only is supposed to be used most of the time. Call pharmacy to see how long they'll hold on to my "ready" meds. In a few days: Pick up drugs from pharmacy.

Weekend, thawed 1# hamburger and 2 or 3# sausage. Sun morning, put ckn legs in crockpot.
Monday, i was supposed to have 4 hours new years holiday (had 4 hrs fri). Planned to leave after 4 hours, ended up working 7:30 hours. WAS going to cook. Tuesday, thought I'd leave at 3 pm and cook, but worked till 9:40 pm.
So Wed morn, this am, i went in at 11:30 am, so there.
Washed dishes Deboned, chopped chicken Continued cooking ckn bone broth Chopped leek, some to fridge Cooked leek Cooked hamburger into crumble Cooked 4 sausage patties for breakfasts Crumbled the rest of the sausage Got it all put away, in fridge Made lunch Put supper, last of the hamburger soup in a bowl in water, in the instant pot, on low Showered Went to work Worked 1:30 longer than i meant to
Home, soup Long tele call with sibling, very nice
Strained the broth I was planning to can it while it was hot. Oh, well. Made room for the broth in the fridge WAS going to vac seal the food. Sigh.
Filled the crockpot with soapy water, turned it on. Practically cleans itself that way. You're not supposed to soak the crocks. This works for me.
Oh, yes, I've worn makeup two days in a row. Go, me.

Good morning/afternoon to all! Pick up Ordered delivery (new to me!) of drugs from pharmacy. Had meds and made bed. Started dishes soaking. Do troubleshooting for my phone which is using data like mad. Get dressed. Write thank-you notes. Respond to friend's request that I join her for a thing. P.S. The smiley is waving, but the banana is (right now) frozen in a surprised position. P.P.S. And now the banana has thawed. Oh, well. It's a mystery to me.

Hi there goldenthreads. I hope you get your phone figured out! ta-da's: Completed more food prep, and put most of it away. Laundry is mostly done. I need to put a few more things away. (When I was typing this, I realized that my "put away" spot for laundry is not a proper place to put things.) It was one of those "light bulb" moments that I think many of us who live in constant chaos need to experience more regularly. Went for a walk. It was a shorter distance than my goal, but I had stuff in the oven, and didn't want to be gone too long. Maybe I'll walk again later. Carried some junk mail in from my car and discarded most of it. (Found that my daughter had left an unused Covid test in my car 2 weeks ago. That would have come in handy for her a few days back. to-do: I still have undone things on my list from earlier. Sort out supplements in to pill organizers Take out veggie scraps to compost bin Prepare for snow tomorrow. I leave for work before dawn, and want to be prepared to clear off my car, and pull out of the driveway. (Only about 2-4 inches is expected.)

goldenthreads, I saw the other day that you have a persistent cough. Is it doing any better? Fed chickens... poor things were starving! Also filled their water. collected eggs Took compost out to bin Moved my car to the end of the driveway, and did some prep to make getting out easier tomorrow morning. Put supplements into pill organizer. Loaded more dishes into the dishwasher and started it. Close up chicken coop... topping off their feeders while I'm out there. A bit more tidying up Get showered and ready for bed.

Now trying to reconstruct the post that disappeared. I'll take my memory of what I wrote and condense it. Landlord brought me the groceries. Said the roads were miserable. Ally Yes, I still have the cough. It's not as frequent or violent today. Was gonna get COVID test today, but I had to reschedule to Monday due to road conditions/weather/therefore no staff. oust "a huge jar of pickles"--so many possibilities! mouseanne Congratulations on all your work in the kitchen to prep for what's ahead. Good for you on the late office start on Wednesday. Seems right to me. doodles I might try a "kitchening" session tomorrow. The word is so delightful that I think maybe I'd enjoy it all more with a relabeling. razy I hope you tell us one tidbit of your adventure when you return! Put away the groceries. Got dressed. Brushed the snow off the car. It's been frigid, so no scraping required. Do troubleshooting for my phone which is using data like mad. Write thank-you notes. Respond to friend's request that I join her for a thing.
