Hello😊

It's great to see all of you and you all seem so productive!

kittykat I could never have anything done without Hubby knowing. We can't have people checking our house when we travel as he's always sure they've touched something. He notices details! Not dust though.

To do
Bake pumpkin scones and zucchini muffins
Wash rest of fridge
Wash LR floor

Ta Da
Fed feral cat even though he hissed at me 😂
Tidied a shelf in garage pantry. (Dropped a can of Bubbly, 🤦‍♀️so drinking it now
Washed two fridge drawers
Put pumpkin portions in freezer

trissie I cook, and mash the pumpkin a bit then freeze in 125 ml portions. I mostly use for baking, helps reduce the amount of fat needed and doesn't affect flavour unless you want it to. I baked scones today with lots of pumpkin and lots of pumpkin spice.

I'd love to know the name of that book, trissie

To do
Wash pans from baking
Wash rest of fridge
Make bed
Wash LR floor
Bring in yesterday's laundry
Must get rest of peas out of garden. Dried peas now
Start pea soup
Finish reading I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings before book club at 7
Ta Da
Fed feral cat even though he hissed at me 😂
Tidied a shelf in garage pantry. (Dropped a can of Bubly, 🤦‍♀️so drinking it now
Washed two fridge drawers
Put pumpkin portions in freezer
Bake pumpkin scones and zucchini muffins
Cleaned up my mess. I am so messy!
Washed kitchen floor instead of LR

It looks like I lost my post. Luckily, I still had the copy in Notepad:
That sounds like a very interesting book, trissie. I so much admire the young women today who can say out loud, "If you have a loneliness epidemic, it's not up to me to make your friends for you. And if you're making my life worse by being in it, then I'm just fine on my own." When I was young, there was still so much pressure for girls to get into a relationship and shrink their lives, coming from other girls and women as much as the boys, that it was risky just trying to live life on your own.
Pasta... hmmm... I think that I still have some pesto in the fridge. :)

I'll bet that your house smells delicious right now, Paigealle.

Hi, L.Ann and Peaches

I have returned the rental car, which was the only thing that had a deadline today. I don't care how chaotic my apartment is just now; today is my Easy Day, as nature's equal and opposite reaction to my marathon day yesterday.
