[10:50] To the best of my recollection, I have: made my bed and emptied my night bucket; made and consumed breakfast, two cups of coffee and one cup of tea; researched planting times for my Spring Herb Garden card and updated the Courtyard in August card accordingly; talked to my succulents; stacked the washing up and tidied up a bit in the kitchen.
OK. Have faffed enough, time to do a thing.

Saturday 20 July
[8:45] Updated Weekly Dashboard for the week. Made my bed, emptied night bucket, restarted the fire, fed the cat. Made and consumed breakfast and two cups of coffee. Finished Brick House weekly wrap-up and C&Ped all entries to the July Monthly Notes file.
[11:40] Planned my food for the day. Wrote Tummy Beast weekly wrap. Made a card for weekly food prep/cooking ahead, crossed off roast eggplant and sweet potato slices, flaxseed bars, caramelised red onions and cauliflower rice. Induced Hugh to put away his half of the washing up. Had a shower, got dressed to boots. Cleaned teeth.

Friday 19 July
Oh look, a wagon, better get back on board...
[9:15] Made my bed, restarted the fire, fed the cat, put on a load of laundry, made and consumed breakfast and one cup of coffee, started updating Weekly Dashboard.
[10:00] Wrote lists, read the Guardian and FB. Took Nurofen and B12 supplement. Made second cup of coffee, put second load of laundry in the machine. Brought in the pot of succulents Hugh did at Makerspace, since their pot has no drainage and was full of standing water - need to ask Hugh what he wants to do with them.
[10:30] Changed the nature table, woot! (only two weeks before I change it again for Imbolc, lol). Considering it was still set for Mabon, that's a serious chunk of time I've been ignoring the reminder on Trello *cough*
[11:40] Made substantial notes/started writing the half-yearly report for wellbeing/social interactions. Showered, washed my hair, cleaned my teeth, got dressed. Sorted through the largest tub of SCA stuff on the floor of my room and decluttered some stuff into the bin/op shop bag, and buttons, metal bits and bobs, findings, braid, etc into the appropriate drawers in the antique filing cabinet. Advised Dan and Hugh on where to find various ingredients for ANZAC biscuits.
[12:30] Hung out two loads of laundry (using my finger carefully but normally without undue pain, woot!). Moisturised my face. Convinced Mr Bat to bring in a load of wood and split some for the fire; relit the fire and asked house to look after it while I was out.
[3:15] Not exhaustive, but: fed guineas and let geese out. Put away some of my clean laundry. Went to Geeveston, collected Hugh's library book, went to School Rd op shop, played a bunch of Wizards Unite and a bit of PoGo; came home and unpacked. Made and consumed almond butter chickpeas for lunch (nom). Lit the fire yet again after nobody else paid attention to it.
[4:00] Cleared out my car (it's too wet to vacuum but I removed all the trash and stuff to go back to the house). Convinced Hugh to empty the wheelbarrow of wood into the wood box. Took out the wheelbarrow.
[5:20] Watered the plants. Finished the dirty laundry round-up. Put away the rest of the clean laundry. Decluttered a box of stuff (mostly sewing-related) from my room. Unpicked a decorative Chinese wall-hanging/mat to reuse the braid as trim. Updated Weekly Dashboard with new library book due date.
[7:25] Worked on accessibility site asssessment, researched what constitutes "accessible", tried to figure out how to find out about access matting for accessing grassed areas. Cooked dinner, made a batch of hummus.
Yesterday I made some considerable progress on decluttering the shelves and drawers in the spare room, and the top of the bookshelf in the learning room. I also potted up the rubber plant into the big earthenware crock from the tip shop, and a cutting from a string of beans succulent in one of the little fluted white-glazed pots matching the other succulents on the kitchen windowsill.

Monday 15 July
[9:45] Slept in til 8:30. Updated Weekly Dashboard. Made and consumed breakfast and two cups of coffee. Wrangled Hugh into bringing out load of boxes and bringing in load of wood; asked Dan to light the fire. Wrangled Hugh into putting away the drying up; asked Dan to put away their half. Made a plan with Dan about what time to leave for x-ray + appointment (12:30]; planned my food for the day.
[10:05] Pep-talked Dan into eating a decent breakfast, started menu planning, wrote this week's plan on board.
[10:40] Prodded Hugh into giving me a chicken recipe, had a 20 minute conversation with Beth about how to prevent her relationship with Harry falling into the same pitfalls as mine with Oze (ha - it took her TWO WEEKS to work out it was unhealthy and she needs to set stronger boundaries - my girl rocks), made another cup of coffee, worked on menu plan.
[11:10] Finished updating this week's and next week's menu plans. Worked on August Monthly Menu Plan Overview.
[11:35] Organised all my loose recipes into the appropriate omni/vego/vegan folders. Failed to find the cornbread recipe I used last time I made Tamale Pie. Dangnabbit. Need to do something else now, that's my menu-planning time up for the morning.
[Afternoon] Took Dan up to town: went via the Dog House to tell Eric I needed money for fuel; put fuel in my car; stopped at the tip shop to pick up the big earthenware crock I'd just thought of a use for; stopped in Huonville for Dan to be sick and then to clean up after Dan being sick; dropped Dan in town before their appointment and went back to Kingston; got my x-ray; went to Vinnies; went back to Headspace and talked to the youth worker; took Dan home again.
[Evening] Made a flaxseed bar with the chocolate amazeball flavourings. I think I prefer it that way. Modified earthenware crock slightly (with a hammer) and started thinking of ways to use it for displaying a plant. Cooked dinner. Worked on shopping list. Tidied my workspace. Swept kitchen floor. Updated Weekly Dashboard.

Sunday 14 July
[8:00] Bought a book from Bookbub. Made my bed. Made and consumed breakfast and 1 cup of coffee. Started updating Weekly Dashboard. Taken B12 and planned my food for the day.
[8:30] Brought in all the wood in the mudroom and filled the woodbox in the living room. Did some tidying up and putting away in the kitchen. Made another cup of coffee.
[9:00] Removed old army blanket and French Provincial curtains from spare room. Need to hang velvet curtains. Talked to plants in living room and adjusted light exposure. Worked on updating Trello.
[9:45] Brought in suitcase and bag of garb to sort through in the hope of finding enough for Hugh and Dan that they don't freeze at Saturnalia; brought in second nightstand and arranged it in bedroom; unpacked as much of the trailer as I could (ie. undid a rope and moved one chair); got rid of ugly broken down chair from courtyard and tidied all the loose stuff into one spot for sorting; did a little bit of weeding under where the chair had been.
[10:30] Brought in black mini storage drawers and consolidated all the various kinds of pearls into one spot; removed the first of the three fugly plastic sets of drawers from the white storage unit (woohoo!). Wholescale sorting out of all the stuff I've been collecting and shoving randomly into the drawers will take a while!
[11:00] Wrote down some thoughts about Kalila wa Dimna. Talked to a sproglet.
[11:35] Did BotVC stocktake and plan.
[11:55] Unpacked all the donated garb into the guest room wardrobe, or onto the bed for the kids to try on. Dan will happily wear the mustard/blue sideless surcote and blue underdress when they are feeling femme, so that's useful! There's a jacket which may work for rapier (need kids to try it on, and if it fits, to get it punch tested), and a pile of masc/androgynous garb suitable for not freezing to death at Saturnalia, although it may all be too big. Still need to inventory it but at least it's unpacked.
[12:40] Made and ate lunch (burrito "bowl" on a plate because all the bowls are dirty). Encouraged House to eat up leftovers rather than cook something new for lunch.
[2:40] Sorted all the beads etc out of the two sets of plastic drawers and filled up (and labelled) the antique filing cabinet. Decluttered a plastic tub of beads I've been carrying around for ten years or so and sorted the stuff I wanted to keep into a divided craft box. Transferred my SCA jewellery to one of the sets of plastic drawers (and any bigger stuff which didn't fit into two plastic tubs) and redistributed the plastic trays as drawer caddies in the filing cabinet, so all drawers are now usable. Moved stack of in-trays over to white storage unit so I now have better access to the remaining plastic storage boxes and beading boards, plus somewhere for random bits of paper to go (even if it is ugly). Tired now!
[5:15] Didn't bother to get out of my PJ top, but went down to village and did Wizards Unite daily tasks and my 6 day first pokestop. I forgot to catch anything yesterday, so I have to remember to do the pokestop tomorrow but not catch anything and then it will reset both my 7 day bonuses to the same day. Cleaned my teeth and moisturised my face. Changed towels.

Saturday 13 July
[10:30] Got up around 7, made my bed. Relit the fire. Made and consumed breakfast and too much coffee. Put load sitting in machine on to spin dry and then load sitting in basket in to rinse and spin. Gave Eric a shopping list for F&V, sent him and Dan off to Huonville so Dan could catch a bus to Hobart for a workshop. Updated my Weekly Dashboard for the week. Did my Tummy Beast weekly wrap-up, and uploaded my Brick House weekly post and C&Ped everything to the July Notes document. Started a new document for Hugh's proposed Viking Food entry for the November Crown A&S comp with some preliminary areas for him to look at and printed it out. Reminded Eric about the Canton's box making day #2 and sent him and Hugh off to that.
[1:00] Hung up laundry on living room rack. Ate a small bowl of farmhouse soup for morning tea. Planned my food. Put away F&V shop. Showered and got dressed to shoes (didn't take off my bandage this time, I wrapped my hand in a plastic bag and taped it on. Brought in barrow of wood. Hung out laundry and brought in dry laundry. Took B12 supplement.
[3:00] Made scrambled tofu for lunch. Took down shower curtain and put a load of towels on to wash with it. Picked up Hugh from Dog House and went for my gaming "walk" (which involved sitting in the car for half an hour). Rehung shower curtain.
[4:05] Cleaned teeth, moisturised face. Did dirty laundry round-up. Emptied compost bucket and hung out load of towels etc during a break in the rain. Sorted dry laundry and put it away. Decluttered the top of the small desk in the guest room so it can be moved into my room as my new, smaller workspace.
[5:20] Dismantled (with a hammer) the ghastly heavy ugly desk in my room and replaced it with small desk. Swept the floor. Positioned the filing cabinet (need to bring in one of the tiles leftover from dylen's renovation so it has a less ugly top since it won't fit under the new desk) and rearranged the things from the top of the old altar.

So What Did You Do All Day? Thursday 11 July
[8:45] Got up around 6:45. Made my bed, tidied kitchen counter, made and consumed breakfast and two cups of coffee, rearranged my workspace to make it slightly more ergonomic, got into farm clothes, started updating my Weekly Dashboard, did dirty laundry round-up, changed towels and bathmat, started a load of laundry (paused because Eric is in the shower), planned my food for the day.
[9:00] Finished updating Weekly Dashboard. Need a 15 minute break from keyboard to rest my hands (setting timer).
[9:20] Rebooted laundry, brought in load of dry laundry from outside and sorted/put it away, emptied compost bucket, changed cat litter.
[10:15] Responded to Amica's post, had a PM conversation with Beth which needed to be brought up, found my list for Coronation bid today and started working on it, hung out first load of laundry, put on a load of delicates.
[2:00] Got through most of my list. GHH now booked, I'm going for a walk-through on Wednesday next week, then coming back on the 20th with Oze and Richard. I've brainstormed as many categories as I can think of for my budget based on the handbook and the other bids, I've now read most of the handbook as well but probably need to reread it to make sure I have everything straight. I've added some more roles to the team structure to be filled closer to the date. I haven't had time to add anything to the bid, but I have thought of some more stuff to focus the visual design on providing a backdrop for the Crown which won't overwhelm Their own reign style (if they have one).

So What Do You Do All Day? Monday 10 July
[8:15] Woke up around 7:30. Made my bed, dressed in farm clothes, laid out good clothes for going out, emptied night bucket, made one cup of coffee.
[8:35] Reheated Massaman curry for breakfast, took 2 x ibuprofen, B12, planned food for the day.
[9:00] Made another cup of coffee. Foiled the cat's attempt to torture a mouse to death in the living areas, and put him in the mudroom instead, where at least the mouse will have the best chance of escape.
[9:15] Attempted to wake Eric up and point him in the direction of the shower and then putting fuel in my car. Suggested compartmentalising worrying about bills/finances to several clearly-defined blocks each week to minimise the drag on his productivity.
[10:35] Showered, washed hair, got dressed, responded to a post from Amica, got distracted by an ad for youth dance sessions on Facebook and responded to the organiser on behalf of Dan (why is everything always on Thursdays???). Time to print list and go!
[10:50] Printed list, found bags, added ice bricks to coll bag. Realised Eric won't be home in time to drop Dan at bus stop, so Dan now has to come with me. While waiting for Dan, emailed competition doco to Suzanne to forward to event judges.
I got somewhat distracted and didn't finish updating this.

So What Do You Do All Day? Tuesday 9 July
[8:00] Got up at 6:45. Made my bed, made one cup of coffee, cooked breakfast, pootled on the puter. Sorted out repayments for various amounts Eric had transferred from my bank accounts in the last couple of days, and put them in my travel savings account.
[9:45] Made another cup of coffee. Wasted far too much time on SIWOTI. Sigh.
[11:00] Rebooted Coronation bid. Printed stuff out and filed it. Worked out Google docs version control after a panic about losing my updates from last time. Need to work out interaction btn Trello and Google Docs. Added stuff to bid, rearranged layout. PMed Beth Johnson and Kellianne to ask if I could see their recent Kingdom event bids for comparison purposes.
[11:15] Did dirty laundry round-up, put on a load of laundry, stretched my legs a bit, took B12 supplement.
[11:45] Picked up everything on the floor in the guest bedroom, swept the floor. Started consolidating everything on the shelves: still need to go in and declutter properly (another day).
[12:40] Checked library books and collected ones that are due today (or that Hugh doesn't want to read). Placed some more holds. Showered/got dressed/cleaned teeth. Edited latest grandparental update and attached Hugh's doco - will update once results arrive.
[12:55] Started cooking green curry for lunch to use up odds and ends of veges and the rest of the teriyaki tofu. Will go down to village after lunch.
[1:40] Finished cooking and eating lunch. Burp.
[3:40] Returned library books. Went for a walk (actually getting out of the car, this time!). Printed out Beth's bid documents to study.

So What Do You Do All Day? Monday 8 July
[8:15] Got into an argument on Lochac Social Media Officers FB group (oops, the leash on Lilith slipped and she HATES hypocrisy), made my bed, restarted the fire since nobody remembered to close the draught for the night last night after I went to bed, rebooted the load of laundry which was soaking since Eric turned the machine off yesterday and forgot to restart it *sigh*, made coffee and breakfast, updated Weekly Dashboard, looked up Scottish time and made a note on a good time to call Mum to wish her happy birthday.
[8:45] Removed laundry from machine, started moving dry stuff off the rack/coathangers and hanging wet stuff, planned my food, took B12, found a jumper for Dan to borrow while they're out with friends today, made another cup of coffee.
[9:30] Hugged babies, embiggened fire, talked to Beloved, done dirty laundry round-up, discovered Hugh has grown EVEN TALLER in the last month, supervised the putting away of the drying up, made a third cup of coffee because I was confused about whether I'd already had two. Oops.
[9:45] Discussed who is taking Dan to the bus, drank coffee, pootled on FB. Time for FB to go off for a while
[11:00] Wrote stuff in my blog, planned out some goals for my Braining Blocks this week, made notes for monthly letter, swept floor in learning room and started tidying/decluttering table so I can organise all my Braining resources in one place.
[11:25] Continued decluttering; emptied paper recycling box; then felt peckish so heated up farmhouse soup to avoid snacking on unhelpful things, and decanted soup and Mexibeans from the crock inserts into plastic containers so Eric can wash the crocks, and showed Eric that we now have a bread tin so he put on a loaf of bread instead of continuing to be Goldilockish about how home made bread just isn't right.
[12:00] Finished tidying desk, found and arranged all coronation/Alfonso-related resources currently in a physical format, and added a tray to corral random useful bits and pieces.
[12:25] Checked use-by dates and removed old food from fridges. Also found clipboard! and bookstand to put things in when I want to transcribe notes! and added them to the stash of Useful Things on my workspace.
[12:35] Went through fridges and pantry and noted down items (small shop week so just essentials).
[2:05] Made BotVC list and plan, made myself hot chocolate to use up some of the soy milk, and 4 days worth of amazeballs (and an extra batch for Hugh). Pootled on puter for a while.
[3:00] Finished shopping list and menu plan. Removed non-vegan recipes from my Lentil Recipes spreadsheet, which is something I've been meaning to do for some time.
[3:40] Watered plants. Emptied compost bucket. Brought in dry laundry from woodshed, hung out wet sheet, sorted/put away dry laundry. Messaged Nicole re youth rapier moving to Sundays at least in winter (she doesn't see a problem with Simon).
[10:10] Did a bunch o stuff, including cook dinner, try to call my mum to wish her a happy birthday, and flob in front of the fire half asleep cuddling the cat.
[5:00] Went to Geeveston, did lucky egg and Wizards Unite.
[8:45] Removed laundry from machine, started moving dry stuff off the rack/coathangers and hanging wet stuff, planned my food, took B12, found a jumper for Dan to borrow while they're out with friends today, made another cup of coffee.
[9:30] Hugged babies, embiggened fire, talked to Beloved, done dirty laundry round-up, discovered Hugh has grown EVEN TALLER in the last month, supervised the putting away of the drying up, made a third cup of coffee because I was confused about whether I'd already had two. Oops.
[9:45] Discussed who is taking Dan to the bus, drank coffee, pootled on FB. Time for FB to go off for a while
[11:00] Wrote stuff in my blog, planned out some goals for my Braining Blocks this week, made notes for monthly letter, swept floor in learning room and started tidying/decluttering table so I can organise all my Braining resources in one place.
[11:25] Continued decluttering; emptied paper recycling box; then felt peckish so heated up farmhouse soup to avoid snacking on unhelpful things, and decanted soup and Mexibeans from the crock inserts into plastic containers so Eric can wash the crocks, and showed Eric that we now have a bread tin so he put on a loaf of bread instead of continuing to be Goldilockish about how home made bread just isn't right.
[12:00] Finished tidying desk, found and arranged all coronation/Alfonso-related resources currently in a physical format, and added a tray to corral random useful bits and pieces.
[12:25] Checked use-by dates and removed old food from fridges. Also found clipboard! and bookstand to put things in when I want to transcribe notes! and added them to the stash of Useful Things on my workspace.
[12:35] Went through fridges and pantry and noted down items (small shop week so just essentials).
[2:05] Made BotVC list and plan, made myself hot chocolate to use up some of the soy milk, and 4 days worth of amazeballs (and an extra batch for Hugh). Pootled on puter for a while.
[3:00] Finished shopping list and menu plan. Removed non-vegan recipes from my Lentil Recipes spreadsheet, which is something I've been meaning to do for some time.
[3:40] Watered plants. Emptied compost bucket. Brought in dry laundry from woodshed, hung out wet sheet, sorted/put away dry laundry. Messaged Nicole re youth rapier moving to Sundays at least in winter (she doesn't see a problem with Simon).

So What Do You Do All Day? Sunday 7 July
[7:10] Made my bed, dressed in farm clothes, emptied my night bucket, rebooted the load of whites.
[7:30] Restarted the fire, finished adding ingredients and put both slow cookers in to cook, made coffee, pulled a muscle in my upper back. Sigh.
[7:45] Taken B12 and ibuprofen, drunk first cup of coffee, pootled on puter.
[8:00] Worked on updating Weekly Dashboard.
[8:15] Made cup of coffee, taken whites out of machine and put on a load of towels, reheated breakfast, started looking at my notes on Hugh's project.
[9:00] Finished editing Hugh's documentation, wrote my afterword, collected all the successful(ish) experiments to bring to Kraken Hall. Project Tribal Nomads complete!
[9:25] Taken towels out of machine, warmed up in front of fire, finished updating Weekly Dashboard. Am scared to hang laundry out yet because it's still icy out there. The sun is only just peeping around the corner of the hill.
[10:00] Changed cat litter, changed towels, did the dirty laundry round-up, put in a load of bed linen, made a hot cup of tea to defrost my fingers, hung out two loads of laundry. Checked on the guinea fowl and released the geese. Laid out my clothes in the bathroom and found all the stuff for my hair. I need to leave in two hours so need to get onto the photos soon!
[5:25] The rest of the day was a bit of a blur, but I got multiple copies of doco printed despite the fact that the printer drivers were UNFORGIVABLY STUPID, and made it to the hall only 20 minutes late. Whereupon I got booted out to mind my own business for two hours while the judging happened. Having no money, I played an awful lot of Wizards Unite and Pokemon Go, naturally. I got home some time before 5 and have basically blobbed, although I did rescue the soup (which Hugh had forgotten about and is probably dead, sigh), make myself a hashbrown toastie, and receive some bags and boxes of stuff from Ange whose family is donating all their old gear to the Canton.
[5:40] Brought in the load of towels and linen from the line, and hung it up by the fire, since it felt like it was damper than it was when I hung it out... Also folded the last load of towels, which have been very slowly drying inside for the last two or three days.
[7:10] Ate dinner, snuggled with a sad Dan, and generally gave myself some time off for good behaviour.

So What Do You Do All Day? Saturday 6 July
[8:20] Made and eaten breakfast, lit the fire and built it up until I can close the draught and turn on the fan, taken off the doona cover which was airing by the fire and replaced it with a fitted sheet, done the dirty laundry round-up, put on a load of towels and linen, started updating Weekly Dashboard.
[8:30] Taken Vit B12, continued updating Weekly Dashboard, checked calendar for appointment times and checked/updated whether classes are on during the school holidays, started a new entry on Tummy Beast and planned my food.
[8:40] Finished updating Weekly Dashboard for House items, which involves copying and archiving weekly cards and resetting date on new ones.
[8:50] Given Eric a F&V shopping list, finished updating Weekly Dashboard. Need a break from keyboarding! Set 10 minute timer.
[9:00] Restarted laundry after Eric paused it to have a shower, made my bed, laid out my clothes, put away my third of the drying up, picked up some crap on the floor in the living room, warmed up in front of the fire.
[9:10] Emptied compost bucket, cleared table and wiped. Pootled on Facebook for a few minutes.
[9:35] Tidied up my Open Office desktop; worked on June notes
[9:50] Washing machine beeped, so I put in a load of clothes, made a hot cup of tea to warm my hands when I got back inside, and hung out the linen on the outside line. Time for a 10 minute break with my tea.
[10:00] Finished my tea while it was still hot!
[10:35] Finished looking through the Brick House blog and transferring entries to June monthly notes. Still need to rewrite the weekly blog post which was eaten by Blogger, but everything else is done.
[11:00] Put away F&V shopping. Washing machine beeped, so I put in a load of clothes, made a hot cup of tea to warm my hands when I got back inside, and hung out the clothes in the wood shed. Then finished transferring notes from Brick House to July monthly notes.
[11:10] Made notes for an email update to the grandparents. Probably don't have enough to make them weekly so I might just make notes til I feel like there's enough content, and then expand and send. Possibly monthly would work best, but I'm open to sending them more frequently. Finished tea. Time for a break.
[11:25] Enjoyed a 15 minute break.
[11:45] Remade the bed in the spare room, including with electric blanket. Heated up leftover soup for lunch.
[12:00] Had lunchbreak. Updated Tummy Beast. Starting to lose momentum- time to get in the shower and go for a walk while it's sunny and relatively warm.
[12:25] Showered, dressed to shoes, face moisturised, teeth cleaned.
[12:45] Made amazeballs for two days, put brown rice in rice cooker.
[2:05] Went for a long walk in the sunshine and played a lot of Wizards Unite and a little bit of Pokemon Go.
[3:05] Put in a load of laundry, hung out a load of clothes in the wood shed, pruned hebe, fell over.
[3:20] Pootled on puter, took rice out of rice cooker and put it in the fridge, cooked and ate a microwaved potato with Kewpie mayo and spring onions.
[3:40] Hung out laundry in woodshed, brought in dry laundry from outside, put in a load of whites to soak overnight.
[4:55] Helped Hugh work on his documentation; proof-read, edited layout, added photos and bibliography.
[6:35] Did more work on documentation, with Hugh. Prepped the sushi rice for dinner. Made a tray of briami, and diced some odds and ends of sweet potato and pumpkin to roast. Prepped slow cookers with Mexibeans (big) and farmhouse soup (small). Fell over.
[7:30] Pootled on puter (including updating weekly cooking-ahead list and looking for new recipes). Ate dinner.
[7:50] The kids mentioned something edumacational so I quizzed them about it and did a couple of portfolio cards.
[8:35] Pootled. Wrote up my weekly wrap on Tummy Beast. Planned food for tomorrow. Pootled some more.
[8:45] Discovered I had left all my bed linen on my bed after I went looking for a bottom sheet for Dan earlier; sorted it all into sets and stored them in pillowcases, and removed all the random extra bits and pieces. Now my bed is ready for me to get into it, which I shall be doing very soon...
[9:00] Hunted down a broom and a dustpan and brush, and swept the kitchen floor.
[9:30] Pootled on puter. Now I'm going to pay attention to my reminder that tells me I should get off the puter at 9:30, and go to bed.
