Well, I thought that I would have a quiet night last night after I did my blog, but after I did the load of towels, I also did the rest of the laundry. As I was folding the towels, I realized that I was feeling better than I had since early in the day, so I decided to go upstairs and bring down the dark clothes and put them into the washer. Then when I was putting them into the dryer, I thought that I could do the light clothes as well.
So even though I felt tired earlier, I must have gotten a second wind, because I seemed to get almost as much done after dinner as I had done the rest of the day. I took the dried light clothes upstairs around 2130 and decided that I would just go to bed after I folded and put the clothes away.
Anyway so much for yesterday! This morning was pretty much the same as yesterday, except this morning around 1130 I decided to go outside and work on cutting the dead wood from the raspberries and tying them up.
When I finished doing two rows, I was going to rake the broken stalks that did not get into the bin. But I thought that I would go inside to see what time it was, I was surprised to find out that it was 1240 already.
I have been leaving for my radiation appointment around 1230, so I rushed upstairs and changed my clothes. Luckily it was cool enough that I had not worked up a sweat and my deodorant was still holding up. I got changed and still beat Kathleen downstairs.
I was only in for my radiation treatment for ten minutes, but we did not get out of the office for about another twenty minutes. Kathleen had been talking to an other couple when I got back to the waiting room and we continued talking to the husband while the wife went in for her treatment.
Well, she finished her treatment and then we talked a while longer and then left together. We wanted to stop by BiMart on the way home because they had a couple toaster ovens on sale. The one was really big, it was actually a counter top convection oven, it was about twice the size of our old one.
The other one is the one we bought it was a little bigger than our old one and had a warming tray on the top of it for keeping some things warm, like buns or rolls. We also picked up a web cam that they had on sale for &15.00.
Kathleen said that we needed to stop by Winco as we needed to pick up some oranges. I also knew that we needed some bread and molasses, so we stopped there and got those things plus some other items that we thought that we would need. We have only been going to the grocery store every other week or so.
When we got home Kathleen opened up the toaster oven and plugged it in. Of course we needed to try it out so we made some toast, of course. That did not really fill me up so I heated up some of the left over jambalaya from last night.
Then I crashed about 1630 again, it was just like yesterday. I dozed a little and I started to feel a little better after dinner. Kathleen had made some shrimp stir fried and I cut up a tomato and had the left over avocado from the other day.
Well that was my day, now it is time to say good night.

Dad, just reading all the things that you do durring the day makes me tired. I have no idea how you do everything... I hope you'll let me in on any little tricks you have up your sleeve so I'll be ontop of the laundry and dishes before the baby gets here, because I know it's gonna be a challenge for me after.
It is mostly multi-tasking, like when I am doing a load of laundry, I can vacuum or do the hand washing dishes or work outside for a while.
It is also a matter of doing things together, like folding laundry, while the next load is being dried, and then putting them away when you finish folding them.
Also by folding them right after they are dried they do not wrinkle. By the same token, by doing the hand wash dishes right after they are used the food does not have a chance to dry hard on them and they wash a lot easier.
Also by putting the dishes into the dishwasher after you finish eating them, they do not pile up and you have clean counters or tables.
These are a couple things that I do to save some time. If you have any specific things in mind let me know.
