What's on your agenda today?

[Medusa]

Prepping for the next 4 days off work!

Before I leave work today I have to hit Costco and the gas station and then I'm heading home early to start knocking down my list <3

[RebelDyke]

Well...for now prepping for class.... this miscellaneous things that popped up along the day so far...

-telling everyone happy Friday! (hehe. the Rebel in me)
-impromptu psychology meeting for the undergraduate students
-being asked for a letter of reference from a student
-being asked to help another student with their research project
-some interoffice reimbursement form issues

three guesses who is truly being work avoidant today!! (the first two guesses do not count!)

Later
NAP TIME! HAPPY FRIDAY YA'LL!

Working on Oracle Cards.

[Gemme]

I'm about done! I still have laundry to do and to start the dishwasher but it's already locked and loaded so that's nothing, really. I got up and showered and went to the salon and got a bangin' slightly new do, went to the bank, went to Walmart and then finished up at Stop & Shop and was sorely disappointed that the very same litter that I got at Walmart half an hour earlier was on sale at Stop & Shop and cheaper. Doh!

Neither store had one of my items so I'll be doing a tiny Amazon order before bed as well. I've played with the kitties and have filled their bellies so I'll need to wash their dishes and clean their box and add in the new litter before bed as well as taking out the recycling and maybe the trash too. It's close but not 100% full. We'll see. I've watched some telly and played online (including a new version of Spider Solitaire that's interesting).

I didn't get much sleep last night because I stayed up late watching NCIS reruns (I never get bored with that show) so once that stuff is done, it'll be just the things I normally do before bed and maybe a quick game of laser tag with the kitties and then it will be lights out.

- process checks
- reconcile Visa statement
- stop playing on bfp, right after this post
Go home, and:

Here’s a link to a website with a recipe and method that got me started on this.

https://wellnessmama.com/6544/whipped-body-butter/

And here’s what I do...

I weigh and combine the following in a large Pyrex measuring cup:

• 4 oz raw shea butter (found at Amazon, Walmart, many online vendors)
• 4 oz raw cocoa butter (found at Amazon, Walmart, many online vendors)
• 4 oz coconut oil (found at most grocery stores)
• 4 oz olive oil (found at most grocery stores)

Next I put the Pyrex measuring cup in a large pot of hot water to slowly melt the butters with the oils (the shea and cocoa butters are hard). Once or twice I’ll add hot water to the pot and will stir occasionally until everything is melted.

I let it cool on the counter for 15 minutes once everything is melted, then I put the Pryrex cup in the freezer for about an hour or two till it starts to harden on the perimeter.

After it hardens a bit, I pull it out of the freezer and whip it with an emulsion blender for a few minutes until it’s mixed well. And I put it in plastic containers I bought at Amazon.

I learned how to make soap and lotion but you damn near have to be a chemist to make soap and lotion includes water (which can turn to mold if you don’t use the right ingredients). Body butters are easy-peasy to make.

You can add scented essence oils but I don’t.

The older I get the more dry my skin gets and my skin loves this body butter combination. I use it daily after showering.

I hope you didn’t think I used a body

Well this is more involved than I thought but I still might try it. And I'm particularly glad that it doesn't involve any bodies

Thank you so much for writing it all out!!
You are awesome Orema!

Tons of errands that I don't feel the slightest bit like doing.....

[Gemme]

I've got the most important thing done, which was to spend some quality time with a Geeky friend and look over ole Bessie to make sure she's okay. She passed inspection!

Now, I'm simmering some veggies I got from the reduced produce section of the grocery store and once that cools, I'll put it in the fridge for this week's work lunches.

I've done some dusting...*cough, cough*...but will need to do some more before the day is done. I'll need to vacuum again by day's end with all the little bits of Loki that are flying about.

I'll also need to continue with more household re-organization. That got put on hold but really needs some attending to.
