We hit a high of 53° yesterday, and the chickens were loving it, as well as the full day of sunshine.
The paint brushes/rollers took a break for a few days. February is starting out with some hiccups.
However, I have finished washing down the rest of the hallway walls (all but a small section). I can now proceed to spackle any holes, allow them to dry.
Laundry got caught up. I had some to fold and some to put away. I also caught up on some paperwork. Bathrooms are getting cleaned.
Meals got made and meal prep (lentils cooking for a dinner recipe).
I got another rug washed. I love the ones we bought at the flea market in Amish country. They are the "washable" ones, and more expensive, but boy do they wash up nicely. I have had cheaper ones from the box stores, that did not hold up to washing them in the washing machine.
I had time to look through a library book I've had for over a week now. There is one interesting recipe in this book that would come in handy for someone who is sick (Chicken Noodle in a jar). They say to use a "Gift Jar" but I'm guessing a quart jar with 4 cups of dry egg noodles.
The book also has gift jar recipe for dog and cat treats, and body scrubs.
I made homemade hair detangler (spray). I will be back with a review after I use it for a while. It was super easy to make. I have never brewed marshmallow root, and when I squeezed the cheesecloth, when straining it, the tea has a conditioner type feel to it. I put it in a spray bottle, and it will need to be stored in the refrigerator (has no preservatives in it).
Go figure, just when I start tackling blog drafts, the draft selection function is not working properly. Now it brings up all your posts, and it when you select "drafts" it should only bring up your drafts.
