Saturday, September 7th, 2024 07:54 pmI will learn eventually that if I'm going to vacuum and dust anywhere, especially an anywhere that hasn't been vacuumed and dusted in several months, that I must must must wear a mask. But at least the front bedroom is devoid of the worst of the dust bunnies. Given that yesterday I washed the kitchen floor and degreased half the stovetop, I can let my virtue console me for the present swollen sinuses.
I will also learn some day that even if I'm parsimonious with the olive oil, roasted veg will always disagree with me. A pity, because roasted is pretty much the only way I care to eat most of the vegetables going. This won't be a problem shortly, because the present brief autumn temps will be bouncing up to the mid 20sC/ 70sF in a day or two.
Loblaws had salmon cakes for not too much, so bought same as a way of getting my omega-3s and all that stuff. They want you to barbecue them, which can't do sorry, so I panfried instead. 'Cook from frozen', they said. Yes well. When frozen, the stacked patties won't separate. I might have tried a flat-head screwdriver and hammer, because inserted knives were not haha cutting it, but instead I cooked them enough that eventually the two halves separated. So tonight I'm having salmon burger again, if my tum settles down.
Thursday morning after my shower I noticed my scratchy Japanese cloths were getting a bit whiffy. I shake them dry after each use and they don't hold water, but in wet summers even they start to mold. So I hung them on the line to bleach in the sun and went about my errands. Only of course I totally forgot about them and when I went to shower yesterday, they were still outside getting washed in the rain. Have brought them in today and they smell marvellous now.
Other thing I did was plug in my old air purifier that I haven't used since the spring, because it had taken to shrieking. It no longer shrieks but equally, no longer has filters because I threw the old ones away. Meant to get out to Home Hardware today but didn't, between aching sinuses and aching joints. Am still not convinced the thing has returned from its howling fit, and those filters cost a lot.
