When Take a Shower is on Your To Do List

     It's one of those kind of posts I'm afraid, but let's see if I can get it brighter by the end. I have  a mess of things to get done today, but I put Take a Shower on the list. I've read about bloggers putting Clean Teeth on their list, so I don't feel so bad, though there are days I run my tongue over my teeth and have to question myself if I took the toothbrush out or not. Just me?  I already did the first thing. My daughter mentioned she would like some more water started clippings form my big plant, of which I still don't remember the name of. So I gently separated four of the leaves and popped them in a mason jar. I may do another one for the college kid as well=a little green that she really wont have to worry about killing since she basically just needs to add more water as it evaporates. She had a small plant and thinks perhaps it was rescued by someone in the dorm that took a bunch home with them when thy vacated in March. Susie, as it was referred to, perhaps will show up come August. 

     Speaking of her return to college. We got a letter in the mail that talked about all the heath and safety precautions the college intends to follow for the fall semester. Ne thing they added for her supply list was a personal medical kit, as it was called in the letter. She is to have at least three washable  face masks, the school is providing one to all students, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, a thermometer for daily temperature checks, and Tylenol. She is set with masks as she has three homemade plus at least two as part of her restaurant job, though I ordered the 10 from Old Navy as well. I was worried about last minute finding things so ordered all right away. Don't gag when you learn what I paid for the 80 pack of disinfectant wipes, but here goes. $11.49! She is supposed to have twice that many on hand! I have friends and family on the look out for an extra container as I have yet to see in any store.  Here's how her kit looks now. I actually ordered four bottles of the hand sanitizer based on reviews and the ingredients. It was called MUSE, and was $3.49 for an eight ounce bottle. 

     I don't use wipes at home-I just spray and wipe with a rag or paper towel. I may need to figure out a better homemade version-the coffee filter idea was good, but they sort of disintegrated into a slop. I think the intent for the students to have the wipes is that the student will disinfect their desk area in every classroom and common  school spaces they are in. I'll send her with bleach, paper towels, and a spray bottle to use in their kitchenette at school and save the wipes for the classrooms. Here's an idea I had though. Would using baby wipes, and add the dose of bleach disinfectant to reach the germ filling levels work? Would those disintegrate as well? That was a big meander. Do you see why I have to write things like showering down?

• Clip plant leaves for starter plant
• Make a coffee
• Blog
• Shower
• Empty dishwasher
• Fold and put all laundry away-start yesterdays
• Strip bed and wash our bedding
• General clean and tidy  kitchen, living room, family room, and clean the bathrooms

*I want the above done before noon

• Clean out car, dust panels, vacuum
• Take a wander with my camera somewhere this afternoon, with a big bottle of water as it is supposed to be hot again
• Make Black bean and corn salsa for sisters party
• Hopefully make guacamole avocado are still not soft and I have in a bag with a banana) or  buy at the store when I buy chips

This allows me to  goof around in blog land until about 10, while the laundry is going. Nothing will take long-bathroom always takes longer than I think it should. But I've been doing more little tasks at night, and that has helped. I'm not sure what we'll do tomorrow. Maybe I'll coax DH into a wander with me. What's on you plate today? I'm guessing you've already been in the shower and brushed your teeth.
