Shifts with the season
Posted on Tuesday, April 16th, 2024 at 10:27 amThe forecast is starting to show upper 80s. No 90s yet, but getting close enough for that to be moot. Summer is on the horizon.
I finished the spaghetti sauce and strawberry puree, did the dishes for all remaining operations, scrubbed the sink, scoured the counters, swabbed the stovetop, vacuumed and swiffered the kitchen floor, and put everything away. This officially concludes the great freezer shuffle, a spin off of the last kitchen marathon of the season. The oven is shut down for the summer. The freezers are FULL. The fridge looks oddly normal (brats, andouille, tamales, bacon, etc). The heroic spring of 2024 kitchen replenishment drive has culminated to the last detail, a celebrated success that keeps on giving all summer long. *whew*
The windows are open full time, barring trips, rain, wind, etc, but not temperature. (Well, maybe a freak spell. Can’t rule those out.) It’s time to prep the wardrobe for the season. The truck is ready. The kitchen is ready. The bath is ready. Office, not so much. But that can be done with the AC on. And it will get done, now that everything else is handled. The weather sets the priorities.
Anyway, chores are done, except trash and recycling, and there is no rush, not that big. Most everything went in there during the cleanup. So I am letting the air out of the tires for a few days. No heavy eating, just grazing. Nothing done outside of the routine.
Paid storage yesterday using Messenger on the laptop. I think that will be the new method for me. Save me a phone charge, no full voicemail boxes, no uncertainty. Also, internet starts getting charged next month. $30/mo is not too bad. I can live with 100mbps. Very few sites ever hit full speed as is.
Ten days to Spring Fling.
