Busy, busy bees

Today marks the first official day both Kent and I are employed and at home at the same time. Yesterday we had to be very productive—the house was a dusty, furry mess, laundry threatened to overtake us and we didn’t have any food in the house. Here’s a list of Sunday's activities:

  • Clean the bathroom
  • Wash, dry and put away all clothes (that last bit is essential in a small place like ours)
  • Make a menu list for the week
  • Make a grocery list
  • Get the groceries & stop by Target
  • De-fur the house (never-ending process with three cats in 1,000 square feet)
  • Bake bread (Kent has turned into a fantastic baker)
  • Make spicy vegetable soup for lunches
  • Make curried chicken for later in the week
  • Steam rice for same
  • Make steel cut oats for my breakfasts
  • Make pizza for dinner tonight
  • Make boiled eggs for lunches
  • Fix the toilet (it tended to run a bit after flushing)
  • Hang a new shower curtain (old one was G-R-O-S-S)
  • Install a new shower caddy (old one got rusty)
  • Wash dishes about five separate times

This is also the first day we'll both need to cycle through the bathroom within a short amount of time. Fortunately we got a bigger water heater when we had to replace all the appliances. It's amazing how much difference 10 extra gallons of hot water make.
