Make a fire in the woodstove using free wood: logs from FIL and limbs that were already down from the last ice storm when we bought the property.
Place a pot of water on woodstove to steam up the air, since humid air feels warmer than dry air.
Spritz linen spray into the pot of water to make the room smell yummy!
Wash a load of dishes in the new dishwasher (WOOHOO!!!)
Lament the 2 hour pot & pan cycle on the dishwasher since it prevents me from washing a load of laundry or taking a shower. Secretly congratulate self on creating time to be able to surf the internet and still feel productive.
Find a teriyaki sauce recipe online so we can have pork fried rice for supper.
Go outside and freeze fingers taking pictures of snow, ice, and freezing little daffodils.
Open the door to the dishwasher to let dishes air dry. Warm moist air pours into the kitchen, doing double duty to heat the house.
Sweep the the kitchen since it was already shuffled around for said dishwasher installation.
Dip 2 pieces of clean fake-fur fabric into the near boiling water on the woodstove. Throw them on the kitchen floor and mop with free hot water.
Dip 1 clean microfiber towel into the near boiling water on the woodstove. Add 2 drops of dish-soap to the cloth. Clean the kitchen counters, stove, sink, microwave, and toaster oven with free hot water.
Entertain self by dripping water onto super-hot woodstove and watching the droplets dance.
Drink infinite amounts of coffee. Make it special by adding 1 tsp of hot cocoa mix and a dollop of milk: instant mochaccino!
Coming up: laundry and moving boxes into the attic. Wanna help?
