I'm beginning to think I have ADHD. I start something and then get very easily side tracked !! I go into the bathroom to brush my teeth , and end up cleaning under the sink, the medicine cabinet and cleaning the bath tub . Look for something on the lazy susan, find 3 packages of coffee beans, so grind them up and put in the coffee can. And on it went !Some dusting was done. I had YS bring up a stepstool so I can reach the top of the TV cabinets and the top of my desk !! Dust is probably an inch thick; I'll know when I get up there !
Our freezer is packed full !! [ And it is a 24 cu ft freezer !]Bloggers that I read from Great Britain would be shocked at the amount of meat that is crammed in there. In fact, there is so little room, the hunk of beef will have to stay outside in the cooler til we use up some contents. Thankfully the weather is soooo cold , that it'll be fine. Yesterday the windchills were -30* , the same for this morning. YS was texted to stay home yesterday and today.
Finally the infinity scarf was finished, lengthened my scarf and sewed it up. 24 squares are now sporting a crotcheted border,another 30 to do before they can be arranged and sewn into a blanket. Then 2 more batches of knitted squares to be transformed into blankets. It is sure using up a lot of odd skeins of wool which is good ! The previous owner of the puppy did not send any blankets, not even in the kennel. She is supposedly kennel trained, but how uncomfortable to be stuck in a kennel with only the plastic flooring !!
Yesterday was hockey day in this house. There were 4 games shown on tv and OH watched everyone. Our Canadian is doing well but the big game to decide the medal round will be tomorrow afternoon against the USA. Meals are planned around the games ! I made a 7 day menu up, think promptly had to change it. the pork roast was frozen solid so I changed to spaghetti, but I had brought up chili !! I have an ice cream pail with crabapple juice so I might make some crabapple jelly later on this week, just need to check how much sugar I have in the house.That would clear up some space in that freezer !
With the egg donor having a new boyfriend, it hit me that if she had taken YGS, he would be on, at the very least, his 'third ' father. He would have been an emotional mess and , no doubt in our minds, a behaviour problem. I keep reminding myself I must be thankful that she left him, no matter the emotional and financial trauma we've gone through.
Well, garbage and recycling has been put out, I need to look at some recipes and get on with the squares.
Supper is now in the crockpot. Sweet and Sour Pork.. Hoping it tastes good as I have never been pleased with the other dishes I have made. I'd like to start using the crock pot more often as it saves on electricity and all bills are going up. CPP is going up 1.8% this year !! Whoo hoo !!!
OH has the wash on. I envy those bloggers who can hang their laundry outside. However with temps that go to -40 or even lower [ sometimes to -52*] , one relies on their dryer !
