I’m great at multitasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at once.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I woke up this morning full of wee-wee and vinegar (an old saying Mom used to tell me).\u00a0 Mary had to work today, and she called saying she will be working late.\u00a0 So, I made a small breakfast for myself using my culinary skills that I am slowly acquiring.<\/p>\n

I had to use the bacon by the end of the week, so I fixed four pieces.\u00a0 Yes, one dismissing as I made it a sample to make sure it was OK, it was! I fried up the bacon leaving plenty of nice hot grease in the skillet, and then, without missing a beat, I cracked all three eggs at once, tossed them into the air, and caught them with the pan nary spilling a drop.\u00a0 It was poetry in motion.<\/p>\n

Eggs are not only high in protein; they also contain many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. So, bacon and eggs really can be a healthy breakfast option if eaten in moderation.\u00a0 Moderation, what a curious word!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I love my bacon.<\/p><\/div>\n

I only use rooster eggs, but it is very hard on the roosters!\u00a0 You can tell when a rooster lays an egg; they walk funny for a couple of days!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I think this is true!!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Eggs for breakfast!<\/p><\/div>\n

I tried to make a pretty presentation, but alas, I am lucky to get it cooked and on the plate! My eggs were fried country style, in a bunch of bacon grease. Sizzle sizzle; yum yum!<\/p>\n

Fried eggs and bacon for breakfast.<\/p><\/div>\n

The bacon and eggs got my engine running, and I was ready to take a big job… Putting away Christmas!<\/p>\n

I headed for Lowe’s first as the boxes I had Christmas in were at least twenty years old, and they were getting brittle and cracking.\u00a0 I loaded the back of the van with ten boxes to get started.<\/p>\n

I packed and searched and packed and wrapped until I was dead tired.\u00a0 I did make good use of the time as I bought an audiobook of “Plum Island,” which I have been trying to read for a month.\u00a0 I played it in the background as I worked.<\/p>\n

So from 9:30 Am until almost 4:30 PM, I packed and took an occasional stop to do my laundry and work on my website, changing the front page to Valentine’s Day instead of Christmas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I had a chance to work in the garden a bit.<\/p><\/div>\n

These containers should last as long as I will last since they are used just once a year??<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ten boxes and five more will hold the contents of the house.<\/p><\/div>\n

I love the audiobooks as they are on the iPhone, and I can listen to them anytime I want.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A great read!<\/p><\/div>\n

Mary called about 5:00 PM and was heading to her home.\u00a0 I said I would meet her there after taking a shower and cleaning up; I was a mess after putting up Christmas all day!\u00a0 I stopped at the market and got a nine bottle of wine to celebrate tomorrow being her first official day of retirement from the VA.\u00a0 She also got some flowers, Robina, I believe.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Almost as pretty as Miss Mary<\/p><\/div>\n

We watched Two And A Half Men while having a beautiful dinner prepared by Miss Mart from our overabundance of left-overs.\u00a0 We called Robin, Lisa, and Zachary on the Bat Phone and chatted with them.<\/p>\n

We then watched a movie before it was time to crash.\u00a0 Mary headed upstairs, and I headed for the car for tomorrow, we must celebrate her first day of retirement.\u00a0 I may ask her over to help me with the rest of Christmas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
