10:20am Kenai, AK
Today is Wednesday - laundry day. I posted a sign a while back saying that i would take laundry Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30am-10:00am. And then fisherman could drop their laundry off on Saturdays from 8-12. Well I've come to learn that people have selective reading. Because don't you know that everyday there is a forest of laundry growing on my stoop. For a while i would just keep the laundry and give it back on the actual laundry day but now i just take it and do it when i can...they are wearing me down. (In all honesty it doesn't bother me to do laundry everyday it bothers me that people are morons and don't read and then complain when their clothes aren't ready.) But on laundry days i am in there from 8:30-10:00 washing, drying and folding consistently - it's pretty peaceful...it's my quiet place. It works out well because i can change the loads as needed and this winds up being my most productive laundry time. If i try to get to the loads later it's harder and then people have to wait longer for their clothes. And now that the boats keep coming into dock to drop off their fish i am getting random fisherman laundry and they need it washed before they have to leave again.
Today i am making steak for lunch...when i find time to take lunch. I'm going to use the grill and do it up right. Bobbie is worried about me working too long and burning out so i am trying to take longer lunches and clock out earlier. I think i will make a potato and some vegetables too. It's hard to find the time to make well balanced meals when you work crazy hours and then are too tired to cook. If anyone has any easy recipes or suggestions that they enjoy...i welcome them.

I feel your pain. Not easy to get motivated to cook when you're all pooped out. Take time out. It will help. Love you lots, Mom
