Virtuously domestic tasks accomplished today:
- Dropped a large number of egg cartons off at a daycare to use for crafting or research.
- Dropped a large number of plastic bags off at a hospice op shop, as per the politely-worded sign.
- Vacuumed.
- Vacuumed up a sock.
- Fixed vacuum cleaner (woot!)
- Baked mandarin cake.
- Baked excitingly-shaped cheese straws.
- Cleaned microwave (hoo boy!)
- Cleaned stove
- Took snortlepig for walk, incidentally meeting and socialising with in-laws in the park. No bad thing, as it is psychologically boosting to run into in-laws while romping around picturesquely beneath tree, as opposed to answering door blearily in ill-fitting pyjama pants uttering lame and transparent lies about having had a late start that morning.
- Cooked roast chicken with Helpdesk Man for Bnonn and Smokey Night.
