Not productive... I think.

[green_martha]

I swear, I wanted to sew. I haven't been able to produce anything with my hands for nearly two weeks and that is driving me insane... buuuuuut... today ? first I had to go groceries shopping, then there was lunch time, then it was the only time the kitchen was still useable (because after 4PM, it's so darn hot in there you'd rather starve than cook*), so I had to cook for tonight and tomorrow. which was a great idea BTW, because half of the kitchen furniture has been taken apart or moved tonight, so cooking will be a little impaired for the next two days. Then I had about an hour to myself, which gave me the opportunity to finally make the bed (it was 5PM by then) and take a small break, then we had a guy coming over to plan replacing the heating system. In the meantime my Dad needed help now and then for the electricity work he's doing in the house. After the heating guy was gone, the HG and I hopped into the car and ran to our equivalent of Home Depot, which happily only closes at 8PM, to buy some stuff my Dad needs to continue working. Then it was dinner time. Then we dismantled the kitchen so that we can place proper wiring for the oven and dishwasher. And now I sit here typing this, it is half past eleven, and somethign tells me I won't let the machine rattle right now. At some poitn I think I remember someone (my Mom ?) asking me "but at least you got yourself some rest ?" when I said I hadn't done what I had planned for today. Hmmm, no. Apart form the fact that taking some rest is not something I'm naturally good at, there just wasn't room for it today.
But at least we have some yummy tarts for tomorrow, and fresh fruit and veggies for the end of the week.





*Our kitchen is not that bad, but when it's between 37 and 40 degrees Celsius outside, it's hard to stay in a room facing West, where you can't close half of the blinds, with the oven on.
