Greg and the kids are in Nanaimo for the day. Elliot’s been up there since Thursday and Greg and Amy headed out around 9:30 this morning. I decided I’d stay home and do some house stuff. I’m feeling rather crappy so I’d rather just be doing nothing, but I have persevered. So far, anyway. It’s only 1:30 and I’m actually going to have a nap after I post this. Hopefully I’ll wake up with some more energy.
I’ve accomplished quite a bit so far. First up was the laundry room. It’s become one of our dumping grounds for items that don’t have a home. I took pretty much everything out of it, swept the floor, and then started putting some of the stuff back. I was also able to store a few things in the crawl space (our crawl space was under water last year during the heavy rains so storage down there is pretty limited). Everything else is either destined for donation or for Used Victoria, and I moved it all to the office. I’m hoping that now it’s in our face a bit more Greg and I will actually do something about it. Anyone want a TV? We have two to get rid of!
I then unpacked three boxes that were from our move 11 MONTHS AGO, and that sure was satisfying. We still have a couple more to unpack, but we’re close.
While Amy and I were up earlier this morning I made some apple sauce out of the apples that were left on our tree. Unfortunately there weren’t many as the deer, squirrels and birds have had a feast. I made six jars and they are now in the freezer. My kids won’t eat it but I’ve got a good muffin recipe that uses apple sauce, so it’ll get used.
I swept the basement floor.
I did the shredding.
I’ve done four loads of laundry, and almost all of it has been put away already. I’m just waiting on my flannel sheet and duvet so I can put them on my bed and have a cozy nap.
Later this afternoon I hope to clean the kitchen, organize the kids’ rooms and tidy up the rest of the house a bit. Not sure I’ll have time for all that.
And then I may just treat myself to dinner out.
