Averygoodun's Personal File

Over the last few days I have:

( I'm seemingly better now. )

I'm tired. ;-)

Geoff is leaving for Brazil tomorrow afternoon, so that's unpleasant, but Page and I will deal. (And hey, it means that much less cooking will need to be done! That's a definite plus!)

I just hope I'll be able to use the beautiful, wonderful, early-Fall weather to finish my back garden, including transplanting all my plants into their spots. Without injuring myself again. After school, it's my highest priority. After all, Fall is here, which means winter is just around the corner.

Anyway, that's the state of me right now. I'd better serve up dinner now, though.

- Dig up and pot pieris
- plant sedum
- laundry
- clean up entryway
- figure out dinner (burgers?)
- pick up dr. note; fill out school forms; request second prescription for keeping at school (nevermind!)
- bills and paperwork
- get trash and recycling out
- finish up planter boxes
- write email to HOA pres. (Hope it didn't sound too snarky as the back yard isn't directly his fault)
- chiropractor
- deadheading
- make choc. pudding
- trim and file all my nails
- paycheck to do tomorrow! Yay!
- pick up Geoff

And hopefully it will only be a moment. Still loads and loads to do, though not loads of laundry. The last load is in the washer right now. Yay!

I have slowly, slowly started the household catch-up, and while the results wouldn't be visible to a guest, they are noticeable to me. If only because the pile of recycling is out of the house. And the risk of stepping on Legos has been reduced by 200%. And the lack of an impassible pile of clothes on the upstairs landing...

I haven't gotten around to preparing the vegetables/roast yet, though. Bad momma bear, me.

Good momma bear, me, I made Page help by shucking the brussel sprouts. I didn't force the issue on his peeling the carrots, though. Which means more work for me. ;-]

Also very nice momma bear, me, I made a diet-compliant version of chicken nuggets today. Chicken strips dipped in egg and coated in a mix of almond and coconut flours with a bunch of salt mixed in. I fried them up and then put them in the oven for a few minutes to make sure they were completely cooked. They were tasty.

The leftover egg and flour fritters were also tasty, if a bit charred.

But, god, I hate preparing vegetables. I love eating them when they're well prepared, but what a time-sink and nuisance.

Ach well. It's late, so I'd better end my moment and get to it. Yep.

It's all Fallish out. It's even rainy and gloomy! So much so, I actually went so far as to make soup for my lunch. (That's almost unheard of in this house. I'm not much of a soup maker or eater.) I forgot the celery, unfortunately, and it really could have used some fish sauce, but otherwise it was quite nice. On the down side, the soup used up the last of my frozen batches of bone broth. On the plus side, the weather is at least accommodating for making more.

The thing I don't like about Fallish weather is doing errands in it. And I have a lot of errands to run today. A full sheet's worth. (The sheet is rather small, but still!) Five stops. Or six... A lot of separate stops, anyway.

*overly dramatic sigh*

*points to subject line*

Ach well. The fridge is well and truly bare, so I must go restock at the very least (three stops).

*sighs again*

Bye.

and absolutely no progress where schoolwork is concerned.

I have, however:( in no particular order )

*feels loads better*

Now I am going to play crosswords and sudokus until I get restless, at which point I will either go out and weed a bit or put food into the oven.

Tomorrow I will start attacking the schoolwork. Not before.

Finally got enough stuff done so that I can make a to do list without feeling completely overwhelmed. Just a little whelmed.

So what that the sun is setting already? It sets early these days.

*looks around shiftily*

( Right. What should I do first? )
