Nov. 29th, 2008 09:56 pmToday was a clean house and be domestic day.
Did some more painting on the side of the house and got the chainsaw out and cut up the old siding that was removed (and left in a pile for me to deal with - bah!).
I bought about 20 pounds of Sweet Potatoes at 10 cents a pound! Score! I baked them all and froze them. I may go and get some more. I have a chest freezer, and everyone here loves sweet potatoes (including the chickens).
Made a big batch of bread - 6 loaves. Those will go in the freezer too.
Made a batch of FRUNCH for work lunches the next two weeks. Something new - a bean tortilla stew type creation that ended up tasting pretty good even though I just kept adding things to it as I was cleaning out the fridge..... :-)
Got Sierra a desk at the Goodwill today for $12.95. It was rather beat up, but I like being able to re-use something like this. She's happy with it.
Going to Lost Maples tomorrow for a hike. It's going to be nice to get on a trail again - it's been several weeks! I think I need some time in the "wilderness" to improve my gloomy mood lately. Don't know what's wrong - - just feeling a general sense of melancholy. I think I need to make some changes inside and out - - something to think about on the trail.
