So, yes.
I am a happy camper today. Found the silverware, just need to check w/ Mom & see if she is ordering the 4 place settings or 8. If 4, then I’ll order 4 too so I can have 8. Fortunately, they’re not ungodly expensive.
Replaced the little food processor so I can cook without fear of burning down the kitchen. OK, I can cook without fear of this particular appliance burning down the kitchen.
The dishwasher is running, laundry is going, the bedroom/clothes organization has started (with a bag for things to toss – when the undies have no elastic left, it’s time for them to go!!), and the chicken for the chicken salad has been cooked and is cooling in the fridge.
It’s turned out to be a freakishly productive day, which is very unusual for me.
Edit/Addition: There is now light in all the major rooms of my home. Here’s hoping those flourescent bulbs last a LONG time.
