Vacation day 1...

Today was about cleaning and finishing processing stuff.
I folded and put away the laundry, changed the bed, put away the dishes and cleaned the counters.
The contractor finally came out to look at the ceiling damage. It's not his fault it's been nine months but rather the managers. He's done a great job today.
First I had to empty everything out of the bathroom, which made my kitchen table look like this:

Of course he had to make a bigger hole before he could patch it





But now it looks like this:

Tomorrow he's going to come back to finish the texture and paint. I'm just glad to have the hole patched and the mold gone. It wasn't as bad as I had feared but it's been patched so many times that there was a lot of garbage that came out first. Now it's been patched correctly!

I made dishpan cookies last week but I hadn't cooked them yet. So while he was working on the ceiling I baked the cookies

and shredded all the zucchini


And when I thought I was all done and had put all the pieces of the food processor in the sink I looked down and discovered I still had three large zucchini in the bucket.

So I finished those up:

I ended up with 14 quarts of shredded zucchini and two gallon size bags of cookies.
Then I revived the art of onion braiding

Apparently, I have an internal domestic diva who makes an appearance during my vacations and weekends.
I still have errands to run but those will have to wait.
