What a day!

 Ever had one of those days which was sort of productive but you couldn't way what you really did?  That was the kind of day that I had.  Now that I'm typing it down, I guess I was somewhat productive.

It started out this morning with me making breakfast eggs to freeze.  I did a dozen the other day but only 9 made it as far as the freezer.  That batch I did in a 9 x 9 baking dish and just cut them into 9 squares.  They were a bit uneven since my oven is not level.  I just ate the most uneven first and managed to put 6 in the freezer for when I want them.  Today, however I used my muffin tin and made 12.  They turned out better.  I only used my seasoned salt garlic powder and onion powder.  Once again I kept three out and put the rest in the freezer.  That will keep me stocked up for a bit.

Later in the day I made left over taco mash up.  Ok so it is not an original name.  It is basically a layered tortilla wrap casserole made with leftovers.  This one had a layer of pizza sauce on the bottom, then a large tortilla, some salsa/pizza sauce mixture, some cooked ground turkey, and cheese.  Put another layer of the same on top and the final layer was a tortilla, sauce, cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder (since I left it out in the other layers.  Baked for around 10-12 minutes and all done.  It turned pretty good.  I have half of it left.

I pulled out Pop of Poinsettia table runner which was one of my UFO projects to work on.,  Does it count as working on it if I pulled everything out, read the directions and put it back in its bag?  I think it should.  I didn't work on it because I wasn't in the mood to make bias vines and I can't decide on what fabric to fuse everything on.  I'm trying not to buy more fabric so this might be saved for 2025.  

I was productive enough to <cough> need <cough> to take a couple of naps.  I was in my second hour of napping when Shalom called and said he was headed to Walmart if I wanted a ride.  So, obviously, I went.  WOW!  There were a lot of empty shelves.  I managed to get a 3 pound bag of cat food, and feel lucky I got that.  I could only get 2 two liters of soda because they were all out.  I wasn't going to spend the money on the cans and even then they were low.  They were low on margarine/butter and eggs.  Fumingly enough the milk was stocked.  The creamers and iced coffee were almost out.  Shredded cheese was ok but Buddig meats and that type was almost non existent.  No evaporated milk.  They only had sweetened condensed milk.  Bread was low and tortillas were getting low.  No bags of onions nor did they have bags of  potatoes.  Oops. T hat isn't totally true.  They had 2 bags of potatoes.  Almost all of the fresh produce was gone although the organic produce was still stocked but starting to run low.  I can see that my menu will be changed with this news.

With that news, I will mix in my 3 pounds of cat food with what I have left in the bucket and hope that they will have more when I get more money.

That is what I did today.  What did you do?  Keeping warm?  Baking anything?  Sewing anything?  Curious minds would like to know.

Cold here in Georgia, I've not been real productive either. I did get some blocks in order to hopefully get the sashing on today. Cold just makes me lazy and not very productive, cooking lots of soups and stuff like that for me and the girls, ugh winter!

There are a lot of places that are being hit with the cold. It is hard to pull myself out of bed when it is cold. I just like to hibernate underneath the warm blankets and quilts. :)

Stay warm. Winter won't last forever.
