Day off, sort of

I decided to take this morning off. No cleaning, no groceries, no errands. I have been watching Season 7 of Stargate, made myself a smoothie for breakfast, and am now making tuna casserole to take with me to work. With any luck it will last me until the end of the week in leftovers. I'm pretty sure it will, as it happens.

Either tomorrow or on the weekend I shall head out to Canadian Tire for canning paraphernalia, and I shall embark on a new and exciting adventure of learning how to can my own stuff. Yay apple butter! Or something. :)

Gotta go check on my water now.

Hope everyone else is having as peaceful a morning as I am.

Open letter

Dear Dwarves Operating a Jackhammer in my Head,

Please stop. Right now.

No love,

Me

Yet another reason to move to the country

snapper turtles and goats.

I need to seriously start putting money aside. I shall have to ping maleagant and see what can be done about this.

In random news, I have decided that tomorrow I shall make cream of broccoli soup, as I have all the fixin's for it, and my broccoli is sitting in my fridge looking ever so slightly off. So into the soup pot it goes.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to figure out that soup is what limp vegetables are for.

Also, I have decided to try doing some very small-scale home-growing of veggies and herbs, mostly herbs. That way I get some practice in before I move out to the country and have to do it for "real." I foresee research in my future.

It must be autumn...

Definitely autumn, even though the official date is a week or two away. I am currently overwhelmed with a few different impulses:

1- Do a complete decorative overhaul of the apartment

2- Do lots of baking/cooking (mostly baking)

3- Get lots more sleep


Yep. Definitely autumn.
