My daughter (N2) isn't home from work yet. Neither is she answering her phone or texts. If she comes straight home, she usually gets here about 5:20. Its now 6:50. I'm getting worried.

Well, NOW that I typed that she picked up! And she's left the dishes a disaster area. Caked-on stuck on food. If she'd just rinse her dishes and put them in the dishwasher we wouldn't have this problem. And no, Cascade does NOT get that off. I am soaking various plates and cups now. All I need is a shower and bed. Almost 7:00...

I went to the grocery store today and got a few basics, including laundry soap. Also bought N3's present for the gift exchange for my BIL/his uncle.


All this cookie talk is making me want cookies! I like the peanut butter ones with a Hershey's kiss smushed into them. Or the ones that are white balls and have pistachios in them. (?) You usually see those this time of year.


I need a shower and I'm procrastinating. Last one I had was yesterday at 3 a.m. I count that as still the day before yesterday.
