Last Day of the Long Weekend

...And I've been having stomach cramps and feeling shaky. I'm trying to eat something in the hopes that that will help. I did feed the girls (MImi and Zara were waiting impatiently for me in the kitchen when I got up from my nap) and throw in laundry. I made a list of things to do that should be doable if I get my act together.

I wish Zara would learn to chow down her wet food. She's sitting forlornly in the bedroom, but I don't want to open the gate until she finishes her food because Mimi will probably eat the rest of it. Mimi is being more obnoxious to Zara than she had been before my mom came to visit. Somehow her visit upset the status quo. (All three cats were agitated when my mom was here.)

Earlier, Mimi was having a great time jumping in and out of one of the reusable grocery bags that I use at Aldi. I'm glad that cats are so easily entertained.

I forgot to thaw the fish that I want to make tonight, so I'm going to have to thaw it in the microwave. (My goal is to make meatballs and refrigerate them so that I can use them tomorrow, make chicken salad for the upcoming week, and make the fish.)

I wish my phone would finish charging so that I can use it as a timer.

And so it goes....I have just proved that I can write an entry about absolutely nothing. (You're probably thinking that I've proved it before!)

One Down...

I've made my chicken salad for the week. The food processor made quick work of chopping, but it chopped things a little too fine. (I've never used it before. Shows how much I cook. I got better at stopping the chopping a little sooner.) Of course, I had to sample the final product, and it's pretty good. As an added benefit, I now know how to bake chicken breasts. I need to clean up and then start the meatballs.

I also washed litter boxes earlier, and also Harlee's bowls and her mat, which was really gross. It's much nicer in her room now. (And yes, I washed my hands before cooking.) However, my vacuum quit working. I'm trying to figure out if I can afford a Shark Navigator, which is what I really want. It gets a lot of rave reviews.
