Well, my school is :-D After taking a week to get sick (like I always do when the semester ends) and recuperate, I'm back at it today!
I've got beans snapped (I did that while wallowing on the couch watching tv while I was sick) and ready to go into the pressure canner. I have a box of Vidalia onions that are about to get sliced and dehydrated once the beans are in the canner. Other than that I really need to focus on cleaning up this house from where I did nothing but sit on the couch all day for several days.
The one thing I did get accomplished while sick besides snapping beans was laundry. I would put in a load, watch a tv show, put it in dryer, watch a tv show, get it out and fold it while watching a tv show, then put away and hang up items during the commercials of a tv show ... just round and round and round and round we go - until I have like two loads left to do in the whole house.
Included in focusing on cleaning is making some cleaners ... I'm either out or nearly out of almost everything. This past month has been brutal on me between the end of the semester projects and finals to focus on, spring planting, kids end of the year activities, visiting the hospital every spare minute (my best friend, BestBean - since kindergarten - had an aneurysm), and just normal daily "have-to's" (like providing food to the masses) - I've let just about everything else go. So making these cleaners that keep me sane is a must ... the only store bought cleaner I allowed in the house and was generally okay with was some petroleum-free laundry detergent - everything else has been stretched to its limit!
Alright, back to work!
