Oh how empty my brain is when I’m bored. I can’t even think about what I have accomplished today but I know I was productive up until the headache came on. Oh yeah, I wrote a post for Kink Academy (it will show up here tomorrow).
I did some website work, some knitting and very little cleaning. Today has just sucked.
And I’m getting really bad at remembering Master’s coffee. He’ll ask for it and I’ll either start it and forget to make the cup or forget to start it all together. One of these days I’ll be in big trouble and it’s soon, very soon. I can feel it. I think I’m going to have to start parking my butt in the kitchen till the task is complete in order to get it done. Bad subbie.
When money is tight we seem to get on a road of not doing anything, afraid to go anywhere and just sitting about moping. Master has been depressed because of it. I’m trying to make due with what we have and stretch that grocery dollar. And then Master hollers that there is nothing to eat. Ugh.
I get to try my hand at homemade dishwasher detergent this week when my gel runs out. I hope it works well. It would save me about 6 bux a month. The recipe I found is just 1 Tbsp of borax and 1 Tbsp of washing soda per load. When I’m out of rinse agent I’ll be trying white vinegar. *cross fingers*
I bought the things I needed to make the cocoa mix I love. It tastes so much better than the commercial stuff and way cheaper too! Alton Brown made it on one of his chocolate episodes. Mmmm.
The knit afghan I’ve started I calculated I’m going to need like 150 squares to complete. So what I might do is make at least one really large square for the middle and build off of it. I’ll have to see that the longest circular needle I can get is. Maybe I can find a neat faire isle pattern to copy for the middle. Perhaps put some words on it. Who knows. I know it will take over a year to complete though!
Since I missed the gym yet again today due to my headache (yesterday because my back ached) I will be going to the gym tomorrow to make up a day. I’m going to be super luna when I’m able to really go for a whole hour 5 days a week. Way cool.

try Feecycle for the circular needle. And other stuff that might be useful craft wise
I have just bid on a set of 120 cm (47inch?) bamboo ones.
Do you have a crock pot? This site is very American – http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ – apologies if you already know about that one. I’m not a fan of the recipes I’ve tried, with the exception of Potluck beans, and then I adapted the recipe.
good luck with remembering Masters coffee!
There isn’t a listed Freecycle for this town unfortunately. I’ve contacted the Freecycle website to see if it’s just not updated to include my town. The next nearest is 35 mi. away.
I have 2 crock pots and use them almost weekly. I love the site, but her recipes look scary sometimes. I don’t think there’s one yet I’m willing to try and I’ve been following it for almost a year now.
I’m doing better at the coffee now that I make myself stand in the kitchen while it’s brewing so I don’t forget his cup!
