Any prepping going on this weekend? Or plans for this coming week?
Didn't get in much of a nap yesterday before going in to work a night shift, during which I - woo-hoo! - finished part one of my 3 part ACLS test! No worries about part 3, but the Sims in part 2 have my teeth on edge - so not a part of the video game generation here!! I ended up crashing for a while late this morning until early afternoon. Still not terribly motivated to do much more than plan for the rest of the week. I do have the Sunday papers yet to sort through, so will check the ads for any useful stock up items.
Co-worker Buddy left a surprise in my locker - a 32 oz, insulated, stainless steel 'sports bottle' type thing. The box said it will keep ice for 24 hours; and keep stuff hot for 6 hours. So, just out of curiosity, I dumped half a package of a seasoned rice mix that I had in my locker into it, added the appropriate amount of water from the spigot on the Bunn coffeemaker (210*F), screwed on the lid and went on in to report. I was hungry 5 hours later, and dinner was ready. Handy little item for the vehicle or locker BOB. I'll be checking out the shelves at the supermarket for more ideas for things I can 'cook' in it
I'd left Hubby a note before I went down for my nap yesterday, asking him to hitch the trailer to my van, as I wanted to stop at the free mulch pile on my way home from work this morning to load up. He decided to order new tires for it instead, and asked me to wait until he had them on to go get mulch or composted manure. Can't fault the man for trying to keep me safe!
Tomorrow is aqua aerobics with the neighbor ladies again - I feel pretty creaky after missing part of last week so need to make sure I step it up this week! I'm hoping to get out and do some garden clean up work after I get home so that I can be ready to plant some fall crops, and start amending and preparing the soil for next spring. I'll also probably end up canning green/wax beans again, and I've got a couple of sprouted sweet potatoes in the root bins that I'm going to plant in a raised bed - they won't make new potatoes before frost, but I think I can probably cover the bed and keep them producing greens (leaves) for cooking for a few more months at least.
Guess I'd better get up from this computer and go get something done - take care folks; don't let the crazies get you down!
