Good Morning Everyone,
Well typical Saturday for me, I did not get everyone done on my to do list, for some reason it seemed like everything was taking me forever to get done.Well I was cleaning the bathroom I hurt my back. The stopper in our sink has not worked for awhile (I would like to switch out the whole vanity not just the faucet) well it fell apart yesterday so I ended up on the floor and under the sink trying to fix it. Good news is I got it fixed (still doesn't work it needs to be replaced but there is not a hole in our faucet now) but tweaked my back so things slowed down after that.

All and all yesterday I got the following done:
All groceries have been put away, most of what I bought was for the stockpile room and so I needed to move some stuff around. Everything is put away except the Sugar and Bagels which I still need to package (aiming to do that today).

Bathrooms is clean and the floors upstairs are clean (although I only dry swiffered them, I did not mop)

I rearranged the fridge and wiped it down, I checked what needed to be used up and made:
French Onion Pasta Bake (I had some onions that were going soft and I had some Whipping cream that needed to be used)
Chicken Fajita Rice (I hade peppers that needed to be used)
Cucumber Crack (I so dislike this name, but nothing here needed to be used up just trying something new for Breakfasts this week, it is a Cream Cheese and Cucumber spread I can eat on bagels)

Emptied the dishwasher and as I was putting away the cutlery I noticed that draw needed a good scrubbing so I emptied and scrubbed down.

Well I cooked I cleaned so the kitchen is clean.

Today I need to process the Sugar and Bagels, deal with the 10 lb of Carrots I bought and maybe bake something. Also need to do laundry.

For now I am off to check stock for work, place some orders, drink my tea and binge watch a little TV.

Have a great day everyone

ICYDK ground coffee as well as beans keep quite a bit longer if refrigerated, and even longer if frozen. Also BB dates tend to be less serious for things that take loner to spoil. For example, your coffee will probably be fine for some time, even without refrigeration or freezing. The worst reasonably likely case is that you'll have to use a bit more.

Watched two episodes of Ratched on Netflix last night, love the series so far. Based on the nurse from One Flew over the Cuckoo Nest movie. Did Swiss Chalet last night and used my CAA card to get a free appetizer and got my Scene points too.

Another gorgeous but cooler day today.
