It's Been Awhile

And what have I been doing? Not much. It's Pandemic World.

Each day is the same as the last, and the next. Some days all we accomplish is breathing and eating three meals.  

However, Yay! Today I have a project.

It will probably be mind-numbingly boring, but that's where I am. I have 24 identical bottles and lots of matching labels and I am transferring my spices to these bottles so they will fit in the pantry AND so that I will be able to see what is in the bottles. I'm going to go really crazy and alphabetize them.

Because I'm cooking more than I ever wanted to, I occasionally break up the menu with something different, and that's where the confusion of spices comes in. I fumble amongst them looking for the one a recipe calls for, it takes a few minutes sometimes, and because I have nothing better to do, I get annoyed. When I pulled all the containers out of the pantry, I found that I had duplicates, and in one case, triplicates, of some of the spices.  

And a funnel to transfer the spices with.

 Baxter helped!  sort of

The box the bottles came in.  It must be sat in.

I have been knitting as well, and this is the scarf (Perfect Blend by Casapinka) I'm working on. It has twelve different colors, (Miss Babs Yummy Two-Ply Toes) and lots of variations in patterns among the 23 sections. Slow progress, but I have time. Slow, interminable pandemic time.  

I acknowledge that I am lucky.  I am staying-at-home comfortably, but anything gets tiresome enough after awhile.  If people would just WEAR MASKS when they are out and about, we could all emerge sooner.
