chochiyo_samaI couldn't fall asleep last night. The last time I looked at the clock it was 1 am. As a result, I couldn't get out of bed soon enough to take my garbage to the curb. So I will have to have the stinky stuff sitting in my porch until next Tuesday.
However, once I DID get up, I got a lot of stuff done.
Before I did anything else I made scrambled eggs so I could get some protein in my system and take my meds.
I started my laundry right away too. I had four loads--three of clothing and one just a blanket. It is all done, folded, and upstairs now EXCEPT the blanket. It is in the dryer and I will get it before I go to my mom's tomorrow.
I baked chocolate chip cookies and cherry winks and also dipped pretzels in almond bark and sprinkled them with colored sprinkles. Everything turned out yummy.
I put away all the clean dishes--there were quite a bunch of them--and when I was done cooking, I cleaned up the kitchen surfaces and did up the dishes.
Jim Engvall stopped over and widened out my driveway for me a bit. I shouldn't have any trouble getting out. He carried my laundry basket of gifts out to my car for me. I am very thankful for that since it is hard for me to walk without my cane now, and my lawn is uneven and there is snow everywhere. I packed Jim and DeAnn and Josue's gifts into a big garbage bag so they'd be easier for him to carry. I only had chocolate chip cookies baked at that point, so That's all he got. If they stop tomorrow I will give them some dipped pretzels and some of those cherry winks. Those turned out really really good. I wanted to make Russian Tea cakes as well, but I burned out.
I called Jim Cronin and told him if he stopped on his way to work, I would give him some cookies. I gave him a baggie of chocolate chip cookies and a baggie of dipped pretzels.
I tidied up quite a bit, but didn't get the vacuuming done like I had hoped to...I also did not sweep and scrub the kitchen, but I will attempt to do both tomorrow before I got to mom's.
My suitcase is packed except for my sewing stuff. I need to sort out that stuff and perhaps cut out a few more outfits to sew while I am at mom's house.
Right now I am under the covers. My knee hurts and my back hurts. All those trips up and down the basement steps are probably responsible.
At least the laundry is done. And my suitcase is packed and my baking is done.
I am going to try to clean the bathroom before I go to sleep tonight. At least, I want to clean the toilet and the sink. The floor can wait.
I might try to vacuum my bedroom rug too, while I am at it.
That's it.
