I woke up a few times during the night. Last time around five, when I decided to get up. Somewhat of a headache this morning - turns out, it's courtesy of the weather! Overcast, rain ... the type that weighs on my brain, I'm afraid, giving me a mild migraine.
Fortunately just a mild one. But I wasn't expecting ANY rain - if I had, I would have bullied myself into mowing yesterday afternoon.
Not quite ten, and the kitchen is clean. I still need to hang up the laundry ... only ... it's still raining, on and off! Don't ask me how I'll get my jeans dry! I think I'll do that next. And then, I have to process the fruit & veggies in my fridge for the freezer. I also want to freeze parsley, as I have such a lot right now.
Sigh ... I've hung the washing on my stand and carried it out on the veranda. Started raining again, and the rain decided to caress my washing! So, I've had to move the stand. I've also put the other one up, where my jeans, etc. are trying to dry.
Next, I want to prepare everything for the freezer ... only ... power is going off in an hour and a half! I could carry on cutting and getting things ready without power ... but I won't be able to prepare bags, as I need to cut those big buggers down, and seal three sides before I put goods in them. Sigh ... load shedding sucks!
Going on quarter past eleven, and I haven't started. Instead, I'm now cleaning the waste drawer. Again. I was lazy last week - I should have taken the trash out during the week ... And I'm going to have to take the next bag out right away, too, since I've got meat to re-pack. Sigh ...
Right. Cleaned the waste drawer again and re-packed all the meat. Then I took the drawers out of the freezer under the fridge and just popped them in the chest freezer - well, one drawer. I defrosted the freezer under the fridge during load shedding, cleaned everything and put the two - now clean - drawers back. Still got some meat and the veggie freezer drawer in the chest freezer.
Power apparently came back quite late - I wasn't paying attention. I'd taken a nap, and when I got up the sun was out, so I took the laundry into the sun.
Right, Sweet melon is in bags and freezing - once frozen, I can vacuum pack them. Seeds are on paper towels, drying. Laundry is dry, inside, folded and packed away.
I stumbled across a new term last week: Quiet quitting. It means "putting in no more effort than absolutely necessary."
Yeah, my mind is spending far too much time at work. I can't seem to help myself ...
Quarter past five. Tomatoes are vacuum packed and in the freezer. One packet of bell peppers is cut into strips, vacuum packed - seeds on a paper towel, drying - and in the freezer. One more packet of bell peppers to go.
Done. They're not very nice, though. Wouldn't want them in a salad. Good enough for a stir fry, though.
I've helped myself to some potatoes and chicken during the day, now I'm just treating myself to ice cream ... then ... load shedding ... grrrr ...
