Best Of

@chicagoan Still giving pocket duty for Thursday. @irishlove In pocket for a better week for you as well.

Slept a short amount but that is fine, in process of clearing sink, I get tired during the process and stop, really need to continue so no budget boosting or possible walk until both laundry and dishes are done. Co opted a smaller washer as a sink to soak silverware in as well, that is a decent use of equipment. Never soaking in regular washers, either, stay with smaller stuff. I also realized that when instant pot is not in use, can soak dishes in the steel drum of the instant pot, removing the steel drum and endeavour to not let stuff get so out of control. That way, more than one soaking location, shorter soak then clean and clear out sink for thorough clean. Might work better. I just hate scrubbing dishes. Dishwasher is a no go as even if I got a portable one to hook up to sink, I have nowhere to store it. I definitely need better organization skills. Big boxes are helpful, need to strategize where to keep them. Not too worried about floor space because the boxes are large. May also get more of the rubbermaid stackable totes as well, store litter that is scooped in something with a tight lid. I do not really want to store stuff out back may be an option as well. I prefer stuff to be in house. Waffling on the walker and where to store, once I clear the front of the closet, will check inside to check if there is room. All other closets are full.

I have got the sink almost empty, really need to give it a really nice scrub, silverware soaked in wee washer, now drained and waiting to be dried in the bathroom sink, kitchen sink will receive a couple doses of very hot water to clear out anything that might be in there, given the state of the sink once it was cleared. Taking some breaks as I chip away at what I need to do. Need to wash dishes right after eating less scrubbing, less work work as well. I also notice these wee black bugs, thinking they are coming through the drain so once sink is cleaned up, just keep it plugged in to block escape, do regular hot water down the drain. I have been told could be related to neighbours. Other option I am mulling is the litter genie, I scoop into a bag inside the pail but those little buggers are small enough to get out, better served to scoop into garbage bag and put a tighter seal to avoid the situation. I also do make traps with apple cider vinegar too so that is good.

Meals for today, not too sure, still got the stuff I made yesterday leftover, was the burger, chili beans and crushed up ramen noodles. Also seasoned with taco seasoning and put queso and sour cream at end. The noodles and beans heated in the frypan, added a bit of water and had let them soak. Thinking for a first meal, get a meat pie and start the microwave, once down to 30 or 40 seconds of the timer, add some of the leftovers with a bit of cheese. Option two meal for dinner sees an egg cooked in a mini griddle with some shred cheese and put in a tortilla.

I will still be working to finish everything so in own pocket for that, it is garbage day so need to put stuff in bags, triple as I do toss them down them down the four stairs. Easier for me that way.

I hope everyone has a good day and in pockets for everyone.

Squeezing into your pocket with everyone else. Fingers crossed for a successful surgery and a biopsy that calls for an easy treatment.

I used an ice machine for the first 2-3 weeks after surgery and it was really helpful.

Please let us know how you're doing.

Well, I got rid of a stack of streaming channels that I only watched one show on and went back to disney plus because they added Hulu and have all movies I have collections of, Marvel, Star Wars etc.

I also found 24, complete series as well. I always loved the ticking clock and the fact that no character was safe and the scary things happening to our characters, all contained in one day. Left a little something for fans.
