Egads, half my day is gone!

Now that I'm sort of used to getting up at 5am, I'm a little appalled at how quickly today went. I awoke at 9:30 and stayed in bed until 10:00, but now it's nearly 1:00 and where the hell did my day go?

So starting tomorrow I'm going to start getting up earlier again. Maybe not 5:00, but 7:00 seems reasonable as long as I don't go to bed too late.

Today I am determined to be Productive!Phnee. I am working on the principle that I have very few free days left before November, and if I get a job before then (hey, you never know), then I'll have even less free time. So far I have done a cursory de-cluttering of the kitchen and emptied out most of the refrigerator. I am mildly appalled by some of what was around the kitchen, but now it's being dealt with.

This will be of little interest to anyone but me, but for my own purposes I'm going to make a to-do list for the next few days:

( There is nothing to see here. We are a bush. Move along. )

I'm probably forgetting any number of things. They'll be added as I remember them.

Cleaning Update #2

Admit it, you missed these. ;)

Okay, maybe not.

Anyway, the fridge is now clean! w00t! The kitchen is in a state where I might even contemplate cooking in it tonight. The other goal today is the litter boxes. The rest is not quite as much of an emergency, though it all needs to get done this week.

I am also pleased to inform you that yes, it is indeed possible to cut oneself on a refrigerator drawer. I am not sure how I managed, but there it is.

I have to go out and buy Vim and paper towels. I am nearly out of both, and both are pretty important if I want to get this place in decent shape by the end of the week.

Cooking goodness

I am making tuna casserole tonight. My kitchen is clean enough that I will contemplate cooking in it. Looking in my cupboards, I discovered that I was running a close second to Mother Hubbard, but that I had pasta and a few cans of tuna. Further scrounging revealed a can of condensed mushroom soup, so I'm good to go. I have never made this before, but I think it'll be good. I've topped it with cheese instead of bread crumbs, and it is now in the oven at 450˚. Melty goodness.

Tomorrow there will be more cleaning. I'm going to try to head to bed early tonight in the hopes that I will be able to get up around 7am and thus not lose my entire day again. Today was disconcerting that way, to put it mildly. I'm too used to having longer days now. No more sleeping in until all hours, except on weekends.

In honour of the tuna casserole, I have made a new icon. It's not exactly a cooking icon, but it's close, and it'll serve for outdoors-y things too, like campfires and such.
