Today is my first day home alone. My friend Diane had flown up to spend a few days with me before we drove to Concord. And then I picked her from another conference up on my way home. I was fortunate enough to have her here another four days. Let me tell you, a Texas gal can become a North Carolina farmer in just hours if her spirit is willing! What fun we had at Camp Matty! I can't wait to tell you all about it...
But first, this is what I have done today:
Swept;
Cleaned the bathroom;
Washed three loads of laundry;
Picked up two bags of trash;
Washed more dishes than I knew I had;
Made four batches of soap;
Froze three gallons of goat milk;
Wrote checks;
Mailed checks (which involved a run to the post office because my stamps are MIA);
Ordered two books with the gift certificates given by week two participants;
Cleaned more trash off the front porch;
Cleaned the cat box;
Cleaned both bird cages;
Made the bed; and,
Cleaned out the refrigerator (bleh).
And the day isn't over yet... Can't tell you why, but I am reminded of this song:
How's your day been? I've missed you!
After the joy of returning home comes the work! If men were the only gender left on earth, I wonder how dirty the fridge would get before they'd clean it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home Matty! Sounds like you had a wonderful and productive day. It is always like that for me too after a trip, although it would have taken me a week to get done what you did in your first day back and I don't even have any goats! :) I had to chuckle at Jane's joke about the dirty fridge. It reminded me of a favorite line from Tim Allen who said: "If their were a nuclear war and all the Sear's and Home Depots were destroyed, men would just stand there with their hands at their sides, unable to move. But...if you give a woman a coffee cup and a butter knife...she can rebuild the world! :) Have a great day. Delisa :)
