I Knew It Couldn’t Last Forever

The library limit went back to 50, folks. I mean, yes, books aren’t sitting in quarantine for three days, but do you know how long it took me to juggle our 6 library cards so that we could pick up all of the holds waiting for us?

It wasn’t pretty.

Anyway. I have book reviews waiting, but my hubby and I have been hanging out and actually watching shows more this week, and so I don’t feel so terrible about that. If I’m feeling it, I’ll try to fit a review in tomorrow; if not, well…there’s always Friday.

What I Attempted Today

1. To work on the binders I need to prepare for the girls in our church youth group. One out of the three pages I tried to print was successful; I moved on.
2. To do something about the light fixture situation in the littles’ room. I enlisted my tall neighbor, but the light fixture has issues; I moved on.
3. To make this lovely Asparagus Leek Chowder. Two bunches of asparagus had gotten slimy and had to be tossed–SO, so sad–and the mushrooms were pretty sketchy, while the leeks hadn’t been pristine when I bought them. I persevered, though, and my aunt came to enjoy it with me. The ingredients could have been finer, but it was a lovely lunch.
4. To do my Costco shopping. We ended up rushed and had to go straight to the school to pick up the middles, and fitting my purchases into the fridge and freezers was terrifying, but I did get it done.
5. To enlist my children and clean up the living room. It wasn’t perfect, but it did look a whole lot better.
6. To exercise. I still have 10 minutes to do.
7. To do the dishes. I managed this partly by assigning my 11YO to bathe my 6YO, since the missionaries were coming at 7.
8. To feed people. I may have been a bit lazy for parts of it, but we all had 3 meals today.
9. To review a book. Yeah, didn’t have that in me.
10. To go to bed AND to sleep earlier than last night. I’ll let you know how that pans out!

May Day

It IS May Day, although dancing around a May pole (Maypole?) is not so much a thing in Utah. It’s also been a long day, and so I shall defer any interesting remarks to a later date. Goodnight all!
