Every so often on this blog, I indulge in a little self-congratulatory strut. After all, it's my blog. It generally follows the same theme: most of the time I feel like a complete sloth and that the details of life are about to swallow me up, but occasionally I chance to look back and realize I just accomplished an impressive list of chores.
Last evening, after work and before bedtime, I accomplished the following:
- Took Bindi for a vet visit and to the dog park
- Made grilled salmon caesar salad for dinner
- Made banana cream pie (delayed from National Pie Day)
- Finished, washed and blocked a knitted lace shawl
- Did a load and a half of laundry
- Prepped a chicken for brining
- Cleaned out the fridge to fit in the pie and chicken
- Slaughtered a hog and framed the barn
OK, not the last two, but it felt like it. And then I wrote this blog post.
Photos of the shawl to come, because photos of a brined chicken and half-eaten banana cream pie are not that appetizing, really.
