Debbie Cousins's Journal, 14 November 2019

Dinner party went well. Had the energy and motivation to get everything done that I needed to do - cooked roast, onions/mushrooms, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, carrots, string beans, yeasts rolls, sweet tea and Chocolate Bar Cake (it was a birthday party). I sent all the leftovers home with my twin friends, except for some of the cake. I sent SOME of it home with them, but they're both diabetic, so I kept some here for the guys. It will be hard for me to resist today. I found out several years ago that even freezing it isn't a deterrent to eating it - tastes just as good frozen!

What a mess I've got to clean up in the kitchen! I had everything cleaned up when people arrived, but I've got place settings for 11 people, plus all the emptied serving bowls and silverware.

I have a 90-minute massage scheduled for 11am. That will be a great reward for a hard day's work yesterday! I'm also canceling my massage membership today, and will have only ONE more 60-minute massage to use within the next 10 days. It was fun while it lasted, but WAY too cost-prohibitive to justify continuing beyond the 1-year contract for $60/month! It was my VERY INDULGENT gift to myself last Christmas.

Hope everyone has a victorious day!

I hope you have a dishwasher. I wash everything by hand because we don't have one at this house. I would love one but I really enjoy washing them. :) Enjoy your indulgent. I couldn't do it. I'm too self-conscious.

Sounds like a fun AND tiring day. I can almost see an exhausted smile on your face! XOXO

I would DIE without a dishwasher, @diana1096! I still pre-wash the dishes, but it's pretty fast since I stack them to soak first. If I'm really overwhelmed, I'll just put them into the dishwasher completely dirty, put in TWO washing tabs, and set it for Heavy, High-Temp, Sanitize. Usually, they all come clean except maybe two or three pieces, which I just put back into the next load!

Unfortunately, I had to cancel my massage @shirfleur 1! My friend called me and asked me to take her to the hospital because she was having severe stomach pain. The massage place was able to fill 60 of the 90-minute slot I had reserved, so I lost 30 minutes! WAHHH! Going next Thursday for my final hour!
