Drive-by Sunday update

[dolorosa_12]

I don't know how it happened, but somehow I ended up spending the entire day (other than a brief walk around the nature reserve in the early hours of the morning; photoset here) cooking, and cleaning the kitchen. At least as a result most of the meals for next week are cooked, and all the half-full opened bags of dried fruit, nuts, spices, dried herbs, pasta, rice etc have now had their contents stored in jars and tupperware containers. But I didn't really intend to spend the hours from 9am to 2.30pm cooking and cleaning!

I had intended to spend that time writing, but I really, really do not have the energy.

Instead, I think I'll use the remaining hours of the weekend to browse the Yuletide tagset some more, try to narrow down my offers (and start thinking about potential participants to treat), and basically just get my sign-up prepared and ready to go. That should still leave some time to read, check out the latest issue of Lore Olympus (which I always save until Sunday afternoons), and maybe do some yoga.

I hope you're all enjoying your weekends.

We are basically spending out Sunday the same way. :D

I've been filling the freezer with some of my back-up dishes and cleaning the fridge of all those things that lurk in the door because they have such a long life expectancy but are now out of date.

That sounds extremely productive! I felt a bit silly wasting half the weekend like that, but having done all the cooking and cleaning felt good, and not really a waste at all.

I guess you were on a roll - a kitchen roll! (Sorry, so sorry!) At least you were productive.

Hahaha!

It was pretty productive, and I'm glad I got all that stuff done — definitely not time wasted.

That actually sounds like a really productive and satisfying way to spend some time. Especially if creative brain power is short.

It did end up being pretty satisfying, so I'm glad I did it. And as a bonus I was able to write a bit during my break today, so it was probably a good idea to leave that until I felt in the right frame of mind.
