Cooking & Baking

Busy day today. I worked a half day, came home, went to the DMV and handed them my old driver license for the THIRD time. I'm getting a Real Id license before I renew my passport. I can't travel without a passport, can't get on a plane without a Real ID (soon) and can't get a passport without an up-to-date license for ID. So whichever way you cut it, the Real Id is coming first. It's been 2 months and they're still mixing up the documentation I provided as asked the first time.

Then we ate and continued on to pick up the new TV/DVD combo, bought before any tariffs can take effect. I hate buying something right now, but the old one crapped out - the sound was like listening to people talking from inside a hornet's nest.

Came home, set it up, and started a DVD for DH - Up, the Pixar animation. Then I went to cut up 2 large chickens to freeze and can, but had to alternately come in to figure out the new tv controls and also defend the chicken from the cats.

The frozen is in the freezer and the rest is in the fridge. I was going to stay up late and get it in the jars, but I've been called in to work tomorrow. At least it'll be overtime. I'll can tomorrow night. Meanwhile, I balanced the books, am doing laundry and have to go down and get all the raw chicken bowls into the dishwasher.

I'm sure the fascists would consider me a useless eater at my age. I wish they'd all unscheduledly deconstruct themselves.
