So far today, I have
- shoveled out 2/3 of my car (Back end with enough rooms to maneuver an exit; foot and a half strip to the left, with hopefully enough black top showing to melt down some of the impenetrable crust from the plow; a little bit around the corner to the front; and most of the chunky stuff off the car itself)
- pouted over the newly acquired blisters on my hands
- Made a pot of tea
- Started a big pot of beef & bean chili (huh, which hasn’t been properly written up on the food blog yet)
- bought groceries and produce
- washed the dishes
- removed the stinky garbage from my freezer and yet forgotten to take the bag out to the cans – Yay! (actually, I’m not too worried – I have the heat turned off in my house right now)
What I have not yet done:
- bought 1 can of tomato paste
- vacuumed the floor of the bedroom
