New Normal
After a fit in the kitchen last night while trying to do too many things at once (empty the dishwasher so I could empty the sink so I could cook, with no staging space for any of it), I spent a good bit of time straightening up in there today. Pulled some other things out of the cabinet and reorganized so they took up less space while trying to find something else. The husband did his normal head grooming (wahl clippers and a short cropped head for the win), then vacuumed the place. Did a lot of video gaming otherwise, and was very excited to have finally done something in Diablo 3 that I had not ever managed to get done (finish a set dungeon). I might actually get further along this season than I ever have before. Really digging the armor set that was awarded, too, it's been kick ass.
Past that I've learned that the cotton wash cloths I've knitted are the absolute best thing to clean my cast iron cookware. The sponges never quite cut it, and of course I'm not taking steel wool to them, and while the plastic scrapers will get big things off, they don't quite clear the surface. Enter the wash cloths, and all is good. And as a bonus they knit up fairly quickly if I would ever need more.
Made more cornbread and a dirty rice this evening. Will be good leftovers. We're not quite dire on TP, but we will need some things, so we're thinking a mid-day grocery run in the early part of the week. My work place allows some flexibility on timing of work between 6am and 10pm, so errands are a definite possibility (like the comics/home depot run last Wednesday). I expect this will last for months rather than weeks, so I'm trying to get used to the new normal.
