Tasty Tuesday

The day started normal. Shower followed by breakfast then straight into work. The big difference was that I had a coffee. I’ll let you judge if it made a difference to my routine or not. Actually, I didn’t just have a coffee but also a pint of water and some blueberry lemonade to “chase the dragon.”

When I got upstairs, I decided that I would try something a little different on this day. I wanted to attempt fifty minute hours. Fifty minutes of work and ten minutes of domestic tasks. I need to find a way to get my house in better shape for my own well being and I’ve struggled to do it outside of work hours. I generally run out of steam by the time the day ends. The first round I tore my bed apart and jammed part of it into the washer and refreshed the clothes that have been sitting in the dryer for a few days. The next hour I changed loads, ramming the rest of my bedding in and put toilet bowl cleaner in the basement toilet and let it sit. I brought the clothes up and folded them up and stowed them, this cost me my ten minutes of the next hour also. On the work side of it I was getting a lot of small odds and ends done and making big progress on the corn puzzle. The end is in site now. Ahead of lunch I changed loads again and cleaned the main floor toilet and the basement toilet. Lunch was a can of butter chicken soup and crackers, very simple. Since lunch was so quick I decided to sweep all the floors up. While I was doing that, I cooked a package of chicken in the air fryer with some poultry seasoning for later use. And mostly to get the stink out of the fridge. The afternoon went by fast, got the last load of clothes going. The mattress got vacuumed, the cover is falling apart. It was a weird thing to do for sure, I felt like a lunatic doing it. Work ended closer to six than five. Since I was off the clock I decided to vacuum all the carpet in the house since I had the vacuum out. I continued the momentum and cleaned both the upstairs toilets thoroughly. While I was doing that I started to get an idea of what dinner could look like. I settled on making some chicken flavoured Knorr sidekick with a can of peas and one of the chicken breasts I cooked earlier. I had a little fun with the plating.

After leisurely eating such a wonderful treat I cleaned it up and bustled to reconstruct my bed, with a rotation of mattress and boxsprings. At this point I felt it was fair to take a few minutes to relax before doing another hour of work. When I had enough of that, I finished the MSC daily challenge quickly while streaming on Twitch and then hustled down to ride my bike. Cheese invited me to participate in something he’s trying to do. I only attempted a fifteen minute ride and succeeded. Afterward I weirdly wiped the bike down and started to settle down for the night.
