A good week
Posted in RamblingI am feeling pretty pleased with myself right now. First of all, we did lessons every day this week! That's unprecedented, literally. I blogged about our lessons every day over at my other place, mostly for my dearest's benefit and my own sense of accomplishment.
Other accomplishments- I made up a double batch of nearly 100% whole wheat french bread and it turned out really well. We still have one loaf's worth in the freezer for a weekday pizza lunch at some point this month (probably when I am feeling tempted to run out) I have the second to the last load of laundry in the washer and it's not supposed to rain for the next 3 days. Dearest put up my good clothesline last weekend so I can actually hang out all the washing. My kitchen is clean- no detritus except for that from today's breakfast. Christmas is put away, the big box just needs to be taken to storage by Dearest.
I have a few plans for the day- wash eggs and make a run to the vegetable stand and Chas's house to deliver them. Pick up chicken feed at the feed store. Take a bath and shave my legs during nap time (a regular Friday occurence, whether I need it or not
) Get this washing pegged out and clean my floors (especially the hard ones) and my bathroom. We've had a warm spell and all the flies woke up and somehow made it into the house- blech. We've been killing them for days and I think they're just about gone. I'd also like to clean out the van and I need to finish a little sewing project for a birthday party tomorrow (my first use of the embroidery aspect of my new machine) I'll post a pic of that when it's finished and I have a break. Oh, and I want to vacuum under the couch and get the last of the Christmas garbage out from under there- can you say "chocolate coin wrappers?"| 3 comments | Link

We too, have had flies this week. We live in a state that usually isn't bothered with flies in the winter but this winter has been mild for us. I still have lettuce growing in my garden, which is not normal for this area.
Our van needs cleaned out too,It is a mess.
