What are you doing today?

I spent most of the day in the kitchen cooking. I made frozen vanilla custard ice cream and chocolate fudge sauce to go with it. Then I made navy bean soup with smoked pork shank, cornbread , and cucumber onion salad. Then I ate it for dinner and put the rest in the freezer for another time. 🙂
 

Had one of my rare great sleeps last night so lots of energy to do a major sorting in the basement. Lots of things came in from the RV that will be prioritized, sold or donated. There’s still lots more to do. Got two walks done today, so about 4 miles. After the second one, I transferred my lightweight coats to the storage closet and brought up the medium warmth ones.
 
Hopefully today will be what I call a "relaxed busy" day. I need to straighten up a bit and put a few things away. Blessedly I don't have to cook today and not much cleaning needs to be done. I'd like to catch up on my T.V. watching and social networking.

Early this morning I had to locate the floppy disk I recorded Celestial Choir on. It was one of the first two songs I composed when I got my first Clavinova (digital piano) in 1998. I didn't know what all it could do so my son demonstrated on this song how I could do different mixes. It was copyrighted in 1999 but never released. I had transferred it into iTunes after putting it into my now defunct Logic (digital studio) program but now my son wants to transfer it from the instrument into his Logic so he can engineer it to his satisfaction. This means I have to "dissect" each track and figure out how we're going recreate this mix, which he did 24 years ago! :rolleyes: There are elements I definitely want to keep. I'll also need to add another track to the original to sub for one I don't want, so I'll be doing a bit of playing today. We have another studio appointment this morning during which we will continue mixing/editing the Mambo and hopefully at least get Celestial Choir transferred from the Clavinova (each track separately) into his Logic program.

I'm happy to say that the antibiotics seem to be working. My eye doesn't hurt anymore, and I'm feeling better!

Dio is planning on doing an outdoor project that should take the whole day, so I'm on my own.

Hmmmm....I think I'm going to go looking for some mischief to get into today. Anyone want to go with me?!!

👍 Doesn't it feel good to sleep?!!!! Your day sounds quite productive, and I'm inspired......maybe I should be getting up and do something. Or not! 😴

Slept in until eight this morning. That's a pretty pretty rare thing. Guess I've been pushing it pretty hard the last few days getting ready for the snow. Woke up to a world of white. Just an inch, but sure changes the landscape, and Li'l Bit was thrilled. Enjoyed "Celestial Choir" while typing Diva.

Are you expecting the huge snowstorm I heard about, in your part of the State there?🤔I had wondered when I'd first heard about it.

I had asked you in a previous post, that you might have missed,
or if you simply prefer not to say, then that's okay too! 😄😁
 
@OneEyedDiva, I think that cut is absolutely lovely just the way it is.

Yesterday I continued with my cleaning quest. DH pulled out the Halloween decorations. 2/3 got tossed and we displayed the rest. If I get to a dollar store between now and HW I might grab a few more things, otherwise what's already up will have to suffice.

Today I'll spend a couple more hours of cleaning, straightening, decluttering, dusting, etc. Will also do a little baking (pumpkin-applesauce muffins), some cooking (fettuccine with shrimp and asparagus - I do eat fish occasionally), human food prep (hummus) and some dog food prep for the freezer.

Since we watch our baby grandson from 7:30-4:15 on Tues, Weds and Thurs, it's impossible to do much on those days beyond very quick food prep, keeping ahead of the dishes, straightening up after him, and some fast floor mop ups. When he leaves we half collapse with exhaustion. Errands and chores are largely shunted Fri-Mon.

He'll be in school before we know it, so we're savoring our moments with him. 💕
 
Yesterday I took apart my big bookcase that I keep CDs on and various other things. It was a big job and I have gotten rid of some stuff and put some items in other places. Now it does not look so cluttered. I have to do that from time to time. I had stuck papers on it and they don't belong there. So added them to my other paper pile and working on that every now and then during the day.

I just cooked a pan of ground beef with my own version of Cajun or Mexican seasonings. Now I will clean Rabbit's cage and take a quick walk out to the dumpster. Then I am going to make a pan of green beans and put the ground beef mixture on top of that when I fix my supper plate.

I haven't really done much this morning because I got into the Supernanny series on YouTube. I do not care to be around screaming kids and this show is all about screaming kids but for some reason I can't stop watching it. Maybe it is the way Nanny Jo handles every situation. Honestly, I love hearing her accent so maybe that is it.
 
*ugh* @katlupe , I cannot bear to watch Supernanny.. her patronising manner.. the screaming kids.. I;d rather gouge my eyes out..

DD left late afternoon... just about an hour before we had the biggest Electric storm.. and Torrential rain I've seen in a very long time.. I lost power for about 40 minutes.. so impossible to do anything much altho' fortunately I do have the new LED Lanterns I bought a week or 2 ago.. altho' we did have heavy rain all day prior to the storm

AS predicted the dogs were just over the moon to see me, and of course they wanted to play in the garden and they couldn't because of the heavy rain...

DD brought her Iphone 12 Pro, for me to have now she's bought the New Iphone 14.. and fortunately she's the techi one so she transferred all my data from my iphone X ..over to the new phone.. ..I;ve just ordered a new case for it, because the £70.. ( yes you read that right).. that my DD has on it.. is Black which I don't like, but it;s an industrial case and it's seen better days.. but the phone itself is immaculate ..and I always keep my phones in mint condition too

I made Veggie spring rolls for her lunch, with Hoisin sauce.. which is what she asked for.. and cooked a bunch of sausages for the dogs and chopped them up.. they love those..

Daughter helped herself to the bigger tools in the Barn which belong to Estranged O/H.. doubt he'll want them after this length of time.. Hard Cheddar if he does TBH.. because he had over a year to come and get them ... so she was delighted getting electric tools .. as well as good quality spanners sets and chisels etc.. she even managed to wangle a Rake and a spade out of me.. :D
 
Not seeing any big storms in the weather forecasts for the next few weeks. today they were calling for 3-6" above 8000'. looks like we will be getting smaller accumulations over the the rest of the month and beyond. I'm at 7200' here and have about 2 1/2" as of now. They maybe getting more on the eastern slope, but haven't heard of any big storms. Of course the best method of forecasting the weather is still "look out the window".
