i woke up early this morning too about 5am. wasn't able to get back to sleep.
Mom had a bag of carrots i was supposed to scrub and shred for carrot cakes so at 6am i got up and started in on those. she needed six cups for two batches (she adds extra carrots) so i divided the carrots in half when shredded and had two bowls evenly divided and put them in the fridge with a small plate turned over to keep the shredded carrots somewhat covered. i mentioned that she may need a spoon or knife to get the plates off of them (note i used the word plates there). and then i made fake coffee and had a blueberry corn muffin. laid back down and a few minutes later decided i could go back to sleep for a bit so told Mom i was going to nap.
woke up a few minutes ago and was getting ready to do something else and Mom says "I didn't know there were two bowls of carrots!" so she only used the top one and didn't notice the other one right below it that it was stacked on top.
so i guess i get to make some kind of carrot salad today and will eat it that ways, i like diced onions, vinegar and sweet dressing, peanuts, (i'd make the dressing less sweet if we had raisins, but we don't have any) and probably a squirt of hot sauce - the bacon i make right when i'm ready to eat it since i like it crunchy and not soggy in this salad.
scrubbing and shredding carrots is a lot of work so i am not too happy that i did all that work and it wasn't used... oh well. the carrot cakes are yummy though as she makes the cream cheese frosting using not very much powdered sugar so it isn't super sweet and she puts crushed pineapple in the carrot cake so it's moist enough to be considered a pudding more than a cake.
