The kitchen is eating me.

Just in case you have any concern for me.

I thought some things could be compartmentalized and done in bits and pieces.  The kitchen says no.  Clearing off the counters was more than I thought.  And putting away dishes was more than I thought.  Plus I think those two are dating, and neither is on my side?  Right.  Still, on it goes.  On the good side I think I will, well and truly, once the counters have been packed off and everything sent in to wash, have every dirty dish easily found finally gathered in and then washed.

Oh, right, and about the dishes.  I think they have been breeding.  I had, oh, half a dozen items going into things this morning, soaking.  I knew there were a few more pieces, half a dozen more, give or take.  They have taken over the bathroom.  Some of them, to be fair, are appliances which, after a short review will clearing the counters, I realized could do with... a little cleaning.  *cough*  *cough, cough, cough*  Though much is stuff that needs to be rewashed, from being left out too long.  *cough*  And some of the items just surfaced when things get moved, or simply realized, and such.  Still, there are a few more dishes than anticipated.  Plus, I had to empty a few things out and get what was removed out to the trash in triple grocery sacks... to be sure.  Oh but I did get recycling out in time!  I brought that bin back up near the garage while at it.  Loverly.  Yes, more dishes, more and more and more.  *cough*  *wheezing*

It's noon.  I could stop for a meal.  I think I will skip until later.  I will, however, take a break.  An hour, maybe two.  Then to the dishes.  While half way through the dishes, I'll take one of the bins and begin hitting the counters that are open.  That will take care of three of the four spaces, and the stove.  Cleaning those will offer a short change of pace.  Then back to dishes, clearing the final counter while going back in.  Then, hopefully, I will finish the rest of the dishes.  On the good side, I have been staying enough up and ahead on dishes that there isn't anything particularly nasty.  It should all be a once washed, or short-shrifted second wash if I think some things are too greasy or whatnot, then a rinse, dry, and away.  Still, it's a lot more dishes than I had expected.

After the dishes, a shower then a break.

I am hoping, after these things, that I will still be able to remove sod, cover the beds with cardboard and plastic, and I may still spray for bugs... even if I do it again, soon, on a dry sunny day.  All along the watchtower.  I won't bother with the weed spray stuff though.  Oh, and a last thing... putting together the hose tender, reeling on hose, then using that to water the new potter plantings.

All in a good days work?  Maybe.  I am not sure I will get to that last.  And the worm bed will wait until tomorrow, probably.  Though I might find a few pieces of, hopefully, four by four to use as supports between the bins, and some wood pieces with which to construct a nesting screen to filter out worm, eggs, then letting the composted matter and castings sift through... to gauge and manage things.  But those projects aren't for today either.  Though I may track down my router, which might be able to create lips or grooves or whatever such might be called.

Yeah, a bit of a break then back to it.  Good afternoon.
