Taking a lunch break. The girls are coming tomorrow so we can exchange Christmas gifts. Had to run out to get apples for apple pies (by request). 25, but sunny, put a carload of cardboard together to take to the recycling drop-off. Filled the bird feeders, trying to get the house straightened up so I just need to sweep and dust in the morning.
Going to see if the new parts for the electric canner fixed the problem next week. We have 10 pints of canned chicken left, the wife is getting antsy. Lol. I have everything to can some baked beans.

Still working on the chaos. Got my three apple pies baked yesterday, kitchen counters scrubbed, and started attacking the kitchen mess. Still need to vacuum and dust. Threw out more outdated binge purchases from November that were in the refrigerator. Going forward, shopping ALWAYS must be done with a list with an inventory check part of the process. We now have 2 large bags of cranberries, 3 huge bags of walnuts, and I don't know how many boxes of snack crackers (all binge bought on sale).
Did hang a small task calendar white board in the kitchen, may help with sorting things out mentally. Pushed the wife to get up and do a little to help. I am going to have to be lovingly bossy, I guess.
My fear of buying this place is realized. Too much to keep up with by myself, while holding down a full-time job. This is part of the reason I gave up the volunteer gig. I have lowered my standards of "clean" a lot.
