I may add more to this later in the day.  But it's 3am, and I need sleep

Random Musings

• I would love to have two washers and dryers.  Even though I don't really have need for them.
• I have been binge-watching Law and Order SVU.  It gives me bad dream sometimes.  
• Last week I did all new recipes.  This week I've made all convenience food: spaghetti, tacos, breakfast sandwiches and Mandarin Orange Chik'en and sticky rice.
• I've been working on an easy quilt for Bertie's birthday.  Thomas the Train print on the front and yellow flannel on the back.  I'm just machine stitching around each box.  It's looking cute, and again, is super easy.
• I like working on sewing projects, but it makes my neck hurt.
• On Saturday I'm getting my hair done.  I wonder what colour it will be.
• Bertie took two baths today.  Mostly, because he was grumpy, and baths help.
• My house often looks like it was hit by a tornado.
• Since Bertie is sick we've been watching a lot of cartoons (or gargoons as he says).  I wish we could watch something other than train cartoons.  Ugh.
• I don't think Aaron and I have been in sync lately.  It happens.  :-/
• I had a piece of pie tonight.  I still need to eat less sugar.

Busy Bee

Here are the things on my plate for tomorrow:

• Laundry (I think this is the mostly laundry I've ever had to do.  Aaron found a bunch of scouting clothes that were either in his car or desk that need washing.  We have linens to wash.  We washed all four animals yesterday, so there are many towels. Plus nearly a week's worth of regular laundry.)
• Groceries (There are a few staples we need (apples, milk, etc) and I need to figure of what proteins to buy for dinners this week).
• Exercise (I WILL exercise,  Depression is getting to me, and I need to get moving. It's been a while).
• Dishes (Empty washer, reload, bottles, and pots and pans)
• Bills (get them ordered and ready to pay).
• General cleaning (floors, counters, tidying, etc)
• Find a birthday gift for my mom, and mail her cards

I'm not sure how much of this I'll get done.  Depends on how generous baby is feeling.
