Change of plans. I got up a little later than mippies wished - Mini tossed my phone off the bed and Mewthos mewled for breakfast, ha ha ha! And I didn't feel like going outside, just yet. So I started my day with lots of coffee and playing my online game - which I've neglected for quite a while, and practically ignored weekends since I've moved here ... but recently got interested again, so ...
I meant to start in the kitchen, with the dishes ... but I had been so lazy this past week, I first needed to tidy up somewhat ... which led me into the garage ... and next thing I know, I'm unpacking books, and sweeping the garage! Car is back where it belongs, now!
I've washed the dishes, then swept the floors. In between brushing and cuddling mippies, of course! They just don't let up! I've washed the new mattress protector, it's taking quite a while to dry, as it has a cushion type layer. The rest of the laundry is done and dry, just need to take it off the line, fold and pack it.
I was feeling peckish, so I started thinking what I'd like to cook myself ... then I went from peckish to hungry, and decided to fry the steak I had taken out for Friday. And discovered the Texan steak I had bought yesterday! Ha Ha, I guess I'm getting old - so, the food issue for the weekend is therefore solved. Just need to bake bread for next week.
And then I went out into the garden. I swept all the Jacaranda blossoms and stuff off the back porch, cleared the path between the house and the wall and then started clearing the grass off the pavement outside my bedroom! There is a whole porch paved out there! The grass has rooted between all the bricks, and the whole right part looked like it was lawn! Yikes! Well, I cleared about half of that today. Why not the back section, as I had planned? Because that was in the sun, whereas the space outside my bedroom was in the shade! I'm really happy with the progress I'm making!
Tomorrow I'll need to bake bread and figure out what I'll eat next week, as I've finished the sirloin - I think I'll just place an order for more.
I've also made myself a couple of blueberry milkshakes! Yummy! I just love those! And as a bonus, I saw a simple way to clean the blender afterwards! On that list of 'cleaning hacks' I linked this week. Just fill the blender with hot water, add some dishwashing liquid and blend! That also solves one of my biggest problems with cleaning the blender: I'd always end up cutting my gloves on those sharp blades! Yes, I use gloves for washing dishes - not for vanity reasons, but because I wash my dishes in very hot water. Too hot for hands. That's also why my gloves don't last too long - the heat kind of shrinks them, and after a couple of weeks they end up being too small.
I called At to confirm his visit tomorrow - I'll pick him up tomorrow morning. He still doesn't have his drivers license, because the mucked it up and I haven't been able to get it fixed. I should have booked him an appointment - but when I tried, there was never any opening, and I tried for weeks. Then this whole move thing got in the way ... Sadly, even if he had a valid drivers license, there's still the issue of a car for him to drive. Long story, and this is not the place for it.
I'm quite looking forward to showing him my house and garden! He's truly interested - not 'being polite by' faking interest.
Mippies are all around me now - oh, and I lured Mini into the new litter box, and she seems to be taking to it! Nice!
Well, time to cuddle mippies, then sleep ...
