These evening I went back to last winter's practice of no computer between 7-9pm.  I really need to do it all the time.

These evening I have;  

Read Rose a story and it wasn't even bedtime
Spoken to my husband about our future
Put bottles into oxyper in preparation for sterilising
Prepared enough apples for drying that the dehydrator looks like Bartholemew Cubbins.  [1]
Sighed and realised that there's another full dehydrator's worth of apples to process.
Rinsed and washed labels off the soaked bottles
Put bottles in to sterilise (must get better sterilising technology)

A little later I'll put Rose to bed and bottle the last of the ciders in my house.

I worry what my life would be like if I achieved all this every evening - maybe that's what's holding me back.



[1] Good news! The trays from the noodle and bear fit sjkasabi's dehydrator.

You are breakfasty, like a pile of pancakes on a Sunday morning that have just the right amount of syrup, so every bite is sweet perfection and not a soppy mess. You are a glass of orange juice that's cool, refreshing, and not overly pulpy. You are the time of day that's just right for turning the pages of a newspaper, flipping through channels, or clicking around online to get a sense of how the world changed during the night. You don't want to stumble sleepily through life, so you make a real effort to wake your brain up and get it thinking. You feel inspired to accomplish things (whether it's checking something off your to-do list or changing the world), but there's plenty of time for making things happen later in the day. First, pancakes.



And an update: )

It's only 9am and and so far I have;

found wine barrels to which might be suitable as a water butt at Festival for only $55
priced the wood to make MsNotaGoth's new bed and decided that the $40 saving is not enough so I'll head to IKEA this morning
Negotiated with MsNotaGoth to pay only half the total bed cost of bed and mattress
Written a letter as requested by Bicycle Victoria to Melbourne City Council about Copenhagen Bike lanes on one of my possible routes to work

and now I've <strike>salivated over </strike> browsed a salvage yard with my husband
