New week, new workload

wiseheartWe had a second round of laundry today. Grandma's Rules say that the beds need to be changed every 6 weeks, so we washed the bedlinens, the pillow cases and the likes. Or rather Louise the Elder did. Still, it's an annoying process, as we have to navigate around the drying stuff for at least two days, now that there isn't any more heating.
Actually, it's pleasantly warm in the outside; unfortunately, the insulation works both ways, and right now it's still keeping the cold of the recent days inside the flat. So I hung up the heaviest, wettest pieces on the balcony, which isn't insulated and is therefore at least five degrees warmer than the rooms in which we actually live, and am hoping for the best.
In the morning I made a short food run and went to the Chinese supermarket for household paper stuff like kitchen towels. Since I'm an idiot, I forgot the most important item, namely the local equivalent of Calgoon. So tomorrow I'll have to go again. As we say in Hungarian: That which isn't in your head is in your legs. Grrrr!
At least I didn't have to cook today. We had leftover Tütensuppe and Black Forest slices, which will remain on the menu for tomorrow as well. I've simply made too much. Not that I'd complain about a cake diet, but I'm afraid my blood sugar levels are going to hit the roof in the next couple of days. *g*
Well, I bought asparagus for the day after tomorrow, so there's that.
On the crafting front, I've started working on the baby book in earnest. This time I'm doing it backwards, starting with the embellishments as long as I'm still motivated. Today I finished two of the 12 "diary" cards, which are meant to write up the baby's weight, height and milestones in each month. The decoration is detailed, which means I can use up a lot of my paper scraps. It's fun. The baby isn't done until early September, as I've learned, so I think I'll make something really elaborate this time. At least that's the plan. We'll see if I can pull it through.
