Losing the Plot

Thursday

Today has not been a good day - I am feeling very tired and overwhelmed and have ended up not doing anything as a result thus far. I get days like this, I think due to lack of energy more than anything else and I easily get tired. I have therefore been a little gentle on myself today.  In all honesty I am not really firing on all pistons today but I do intend to potter later on if I can.

However in an effort to put that right I am going to do a bit in the kitchen this evening not what is needed, but something that needs doing before I can pack other stuff away.  So it will lead to a result eventually just not straight away.  It will also help other areas that do not appear to be getting cleared.  As have said before a lot of the work hardly shows any results and then it all comes together later on.

G crept out early this morning to go fishing.  Did not hear him go.  We had an especially rough night with Missy last night which is probably the reason I am lacklustre at the moment.  It makes me ill if I do not get regular amounts of sleep, which in the past has triggered an epileptic attack.  She usually wakes me when I should be getting the best sleep between 2:00 and 4:00am!  Even more of a reason to keep the lid on things a bit.  That's all I ever seem to do though.

We are having a Cornish Pasty each for tea tonight.  Quick, substantial and filling.  Bought ones from down in Cornwall.  They will soon be used up and then I will probably have a go at making some again and freeze a load or indeed preserving the meat filling just to drag off the shelf with a bit of pastry for a substantial meal a bit more quickly.  Got to think and play with this, but that is the idea at the back of my mind at the moment.  It will involve bulk meat buying and bulk processing sessions but I think it could be worth it overall.  I really want to expand my preserving repertoire but am being somewhat hampered by lack of space which is frustrating.

One of the results of being in the front bedroom is that I am finding some of my preserving books that I have not seen for a while.  Think might be having a quick look through some of them later on.

Tomorrow though really must get on.  Think it will be an early start!  Kitchen bound again.

Friday

First day of a new month.  Let us see where this month takes us.  We are fast drifting towards autumn even though technically it is still Summer.  I can feel the subtle change in the seasons again.

I am kitchen bound today - I have to be.  I had planned on going in the back bedroom but I need a really early start for this and so I think that will be for tomorrow as there is an awful lot to do.  Kitchen needs to be sorted more first.  That is what I am therefore going to be doing.  There just does not seem to be enough hours in the day for me at the moment.  I am planning on getting things roughly sorted out and then focusing on difficult rooms in more detail but they need to be tidier than they are at the moment for my sanity.  So here I am all dressed and ready for the fray.

G is still asleep cuddled up to a sleeping Jack Russell and Mischief has cuddled into my spot in the bed.  So I shall quietly get on whilst they are  out for the count.

Been down in the kitchen and bogging in on the washing up.  It is getting there slowly.  Just stopped to cook himself brunch and make him a cup of tea before getting stuck in again.  Just waiting on G to get back now from the pet shop as have run out of meat for the animals.  Once they are fed I am going back into the kitchen to carry on into the evening.  It will be a proper late night tonight and I have dishwashers hands.  My nails are nice and clean though.  Think will be back into the kitchen tomorrow as well.  Will see how things pan out.

Have a lovely evening.

Catch you soon.
