It is about 4:30PM on Wednesday evening. I am sitting here on my bed trying to get some work done. I have been somewhat successful in that task today. There is a wonderful aroma coming from the Master Bathroom. I know usually there isn't anything wonderful about the smell of a bathroom. But since my kitchen is in chaos, I am cooking supper in the crockpot, on the nice, long, bathroom sink counter. My first time making homemade mac & cheese and I am making it in the crockpot.
As I say that I can smell the bread which will be done in about 20 minutes. Yes, I have the bread machine on my bureau in our bedroom. Can't wait to have warm bread & butter with my mac & cheese.
The excitement was this morning though. I retrieve the morning dishes from the guest bedroom and make some oatmeal in the microwave. Toast some bread. The toaster is temporarily placed on top of the dishwasher in the kitchen. Mix some seasonings from the guest bedroom and master bedroom into the oatmeal; butter the toast and deliver to the master bedroom.
Oh I forgot to mention the dishwasher is in the kitchen corner and the refrig is temporarily in the living room.
I sit down and eat breakfast with hubby before he leaves for school.
Hubby leaves and I retrieve the crockpot and all the dry goods for the mac & cheese from the guest bedroom. Bring this out onto the little space I have left on what is my dining room table but is also now the home for the microwave. I measure all the dry ingredients and put them in the crockpot. Put all the dry ingredients back into the guest bedroom. Pull out all the wet ingredients from the refrig, measure and pour into the crockpot. Mix everything in the crockpot. Put all those items back into the refrig. I take the crockpot and plug it into my bathroom outlet. Turn on the crockpot and continue with the day.
I then proceed to grab all the dirty dishes. I head to the guest bathroom and empty out the NEX reusable shopping bag into the bathtub and proceed to wash the dishes in the bathtub. Dry and put away those dishes which are stored both in the master bedroom and guest bedroom.
Time for a second coat of paint on certain areas of the kitchen ceiling and wall.
Where is the polyurethane? I found it, out in the garage, on the floor by the hot water heater. Grab my painting brush from outside in the paint thinner. Bring everything into the kitchen and rinse out the painting brush. Open the polyurethane with my screwdriver and brush the corner molding pieces I stained yesterday.
Check the dryer as I forgot to finish the laundry I did yesterday. Load of laundry was left in the washing machine so now it needs to be dried.
Cleaning and straightening up is a constant battle when you are remodeling. Begin the routine of sweeping, dusting and reorganizing.
A break but not really. I need to catch up on e-mail for the day or really the last week. When you are house remodeling you only have time to get to e-mail you know that you can respond to very quickly. Other e-mails get put on the I will get to it later list.
Go grab the now dry laundry from the drier, fold and put away.
Lunch time. Grab a slice of bread from freezer and toast. Peanut butter and a can of soda are in guest bedroom and jelly from the refrig. Chips are in the master bedroom. Take it all outside on the back yard patio. No the soda was not warm. It has been dropping down into the 30's at night so the soda was cold. Okay yes it was sitting in the guest bedroom but since we are now only living in the master bedroom and bathroom the other areas of the house aren't being heated.
Dirty dishes are put into the guest bathroom and items are put away.
Another coat of paint is completed.
Get dressed to take Angel to the park. She is excited to go and I am excited to sit at the park in the sun to warm up. We didn't get too far before she just sat down. I guess she really wasn't that interested in the park today. We turn around and go back home.
Bring the bread pan from the bread machine into my little spot on the dining room table. Follow the same silly procedure I did when I prepared the crockpot. Put the pan in the bread machine, plug it in, select appropriate setting and start.
I am now finding time to get caught up on the e-mails that I put onto the get caught up later. I find that they are almost all for the business in regards to link exchange requests.
Supper was good. Warm bread straight from the bread machine is always wonderful :)
I know this is a major ramble but I did think my day was a little entertaining, when I sat down to think about it.
