Food, Glorious Food

I got 12 hours of sleep, which I sorely needed. The girls were good about being fed late, even Mimi, who gets stressy when she's hungry. (I guess "hangry" is the word du jour to describe it.)

 

Damn, it's humid in here, even with the a/c on.  Yesterday's storm doesn't seem to have helped.

 

Forgot to mention yesterday that Mom suggested going thrifting while I'm there. I'm always up for thrifting, but I'm wondering how I'd get the clothes back home.  (One disadvantage of the train.) I suppose that I could mail them. Or I could take a large suitcase instead of my carry-on.

 

Tried to take a nap, but couldn't fall asleep. That's good; I must be caught up on my sleep. Though the humidity is probably part of the reason.

 

Strange that I'm not having "ghost cat" experiences with Harlee. When Chaos died, I both dreamt about him and sensed a cat that wasn't there. I thought that I heard Harlee meow once, but that's it. 

 

I think that I'm going to start packing books for the trip. It's too early to pack the clothes.

 

Ate lunch. Soaked a litter box and put my bedding in the laundry. Mimi woke up and sat on my lap.     

 

Changed the kitchen light bulb. Put stuff away.

 

Jotted down some notes for my performance appraisal input. Nothing like doing something else (cleaning) to have ideas spill out.

 

Got on a good Pandora run and cleaned the bathroom, including scrubbing the floor. 

 

Cleaned part of the kitchen. Took a nap. Finished the kitchen except for the floor.

 

Making my beefaroni in the Instant Pot. The Instant Pot's instructions aren't the greatest, so I'll need to experiment. Hmm, the Instant Pot that I have isn't actually a pressure cooker. It's a multicooker though. I'll see how the beefaroni comes out because it was a pressure cooker recipe. The beefaroni is good. It might need some extra garlic though. I have plenty of leftovers.

 

I'm going to work on my performance appraisal input and then go to bed.
