I forgot to wash my laundry yesterday afternoon, so I loaded the machine, that I could do it after eight ... when I was too lazy to get out of bed and go into the cold ...
And this morning, I got up too late ... ah, well! It's not overcast, so at the latest, everything should be dry by Sunday. I did turn on the geyser this morning, so I hope I'll be able to clean the kitchen ... if I'm up to it.
I made plenty of coffee, now I'm just waiting for the power to go off ...
Aaand I'm back! Power is back, laundry is washing ... internet is not cooperating! Ah, well. I did clean the kitchen during the outage.
I'm trying to work on a meal plan ... I'm going through my books, but they call some meat cuts by names I'm not familiar with ... and I can't look it up, because the internet is not cooperating. Sigh ... Another issue is that I'm having one of my 'brain-dead' days. Can't seem to think straight - mostly, because there's too much buzzing around in there ...
What I really need to do, is slow down and read ... only, I want fast results ... and that doesn't work. So, I'm basically buzzing my mind to a stand-still. Which is kind of stupid, right?
Not really, though. I spent most of today with cookbooks. Slowly reading explanations, descriptions - not skipping through or skimming over, or picking bits based on key words ... reading. Good, old fashioned reading. Slowing down my mind to live in real-time.
Mippies were happy that I made time to cuddle whenever they asked! I had more than just one roly poly with Mewthos - and Ziva! Lap cuddling Janey - again and again. And Mini had a long session, following me around, mipping and mewling ... I keep feeling she wants something specific, only, I can't figure out what!
At least I can listen to a different audiobook tonight, again. Not tomorrow night, though. Yeah ... load shedding continues ...
