A big bowl of noodly soup please.
We are starting to get into soup weather again, so I've made a start on a big pot of chicken soup. I've made the base stock yesterday (lots of bones to go in the FOGO bin this week!) and today will skimming the fat and adding the vegies. Then it will be into the pressure canner to make it all shelf stable.
The next soup on the list will be cauliflower.
I've finished putting grids onto my whiteboards with the marking tape. It's hard to get everything straight, but I managed a decent enough job and now I won't need to draw out grid lines constantly. The little board I got for the exercise plans is good, its double sided with an integrated stand, so I can write up the plan for the next week and have it ready to go in advance. I also got some very fine whiteboard markers which are great, I can fit a lot more onto each board that way.
Miss Meow's blood test results have come back with nothing too alarming, just a slightly raised kidney enzyme to be monitored. She also has been vomiting less, so I'm hoping the new food fixes that issue. She's not completely changed over and is still having a bit of her canned food, so fingers crossed that's all it takes to resolve the issue.
I had an early package today, with my new little whiteboard and associated supplies. So today's plan involves playing around with whiteboard marker tape to set up my exercise and meal planning boards.
I had no idea that had a name. My noisy box air conditioner in the bedroom used to make that happen. Slightly indistinct original music to make a change from the normal internal soundtrack (which is currently running a Hinder marathon).
That's been my general approach too, but it's not been the most stable approach. Especially when I've been working in the garden and they've gotten filthy and need a good scrub. Which is why I tried the sitting down approach at one point, but on a slippery surface with no hand holds and very little space getting up again was a bit challenging. Now I can either sit down or have something to put my foot on, I consider it a big improvement.
OOhh.Sunday Pakige! I wonder what this one is?
Edit: turned out to be my shower stool. I will now be able to wash my feet properly without getting stuck sitting on the floor and struggling to get back up because there is no room to manoeuvre in there.
I just googled my old place, and saw they've flipped the place very quickly. It looks amazing, and it's gone from a two bedroom to three. I'm happy to see my bamboo and cherry tree kept their places.
Funnily enough what inspired me to do a search was an article in the Age about dodgy real estate agents buying houses cheaply from their own vendors to flip for profit. It would not surprise me at all to find there was a touch of that with this place - not completely dodgy like the guys in the article, but probably a quick easy sale at a lower price than it could have gotten because the seller is an absent old lady who is easy to persuade to sell for a low price. But to be honest I don't really care much even if that did happen, I'm just happy we've got her into a good place now and the future path with any care needs is all mapped out, the whole situation with moving a parent and myself and selling two houses at the same time was all a bit much happening at once.
The first weight set has been delivered. Today's substitue weight workout will be carrying the weights in and unpacking them.

Plus there is one in the fridge that didn't seal properly which will be today's lunch.
