Chore day

Mippies allowed me to sleep till twenty past six! That's as long as their patience held, though - and I'm actually glad. I don't like missing most of a day to sleep, it feels like such a waste.

I let them out, then made my coffee - only to have three mippies under my feet. Going out is not on, unless I'm outside as well! Ha Ha! So I came to sit outside with them. Lady Jane, however, is in 'orbit mommy' mode today - she won't go outside without me, and even when I'm outside, she stays right by my side.

I've started the first two loads of laundry - I've decided to do the third load on Wednesday. I need to wash my work pants as well, and they're last to be washed ... today they wouldn't dry in time.

I've sort of washed the bathroom floor - I swept and then washed with just water. I didn't even bother with tile cleaner, so ... they just look cleaner, but aren't really clean. That's okay, though.

I've done the bedroom and kitchen floors as well, now it's just the passage and what little space is open in the lounge.

Then I took a nap before washing the danged dishes - I do NOT like washing dishes, ha ha ha! Lady Jane is still mipping and sticking to me. While I was trying to nap, she decided to take a stroll on me, she may be the lightest of my mippies, but she still weighs over 4kg! That weight on my hip, then the side of my tummy, then ... yeah - not pleasant!

I fried my Schnitzel and cooked some Spätzle (a type of pasta) with veggies to go with it. Boy, I'm so hungry this weekend! I've not got a bread in the oven, and I also remembered to take out something to put on it. I don't know what I should do with the leftover pasta and veggies ... I think I'll just keep it till tomorrow and fry it up with whatever's for dinner tomorrow night.

I hurt my right hand yesterday, the index finger. I scraped some skin off on the side, as I was digging in the ground. It opened again, when I was washing the floors, so I put a plaster on it. Which, of course, started to come off. So I couldn't do any gardening, even if I wanted to, today.

I've taken out the rubbish ... gosh, what an exciting life I lead! I had better cheer myself up with some ice cream!

Sigh, not even Lady Jane came to join me for my ice cream! And I'm hungry again, if you can believe that! I keep thinking of meals I'd like to cook for myself - but can't at the moment, because I still haven't unpacked everything from my kitchen nor am I getting groceries every week. I'm thinking of getting some things tinned, like mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus and such since, whenever I do buy any of them, I don't actually use them up. I don't have the energy to cook a meal on weekdays, which leaves only Saturdays or Sundays - and by then, I no longer feel like the meal I had in mind when I bought it. At least with tins, I won't be throwing any food away anymore, which really, really ticks me off. I hate doing it, yet at the same time, can't bring myself to use it when I must.

It's a very different life style, once again, and I haven't quite adapted, yet. Mostly, I've just focused on the garden, rather than getting myself sorted. At least my mippies are sorted - I'm getting them all the munchies and food they need, just the litter I still need to figure out. Maybe I'll do some online searching tomorrow, see what else I can order for delivery rather than having to go out and shop regularly.

But that's tomorrow's job. For today, the only job left for me is to sleep ...
