ismoHousekeeping tip: If you have a bag of white sugar that has turned into a brick while sitting in the cupboard, get your cast iron frying pan and gently but firmly thwack the sugar with the flat of the pan. If you hit it with a mallet or something, you're likely to tear the bag, but that won't happen with the pan. It's kind of fun, so don't get carried away.
You might be guessing that I'm feeling better, since I'm talking about thwacking things. The cough medicine did its job last night, and I did not wake up in paroxysms of coughing, for the first time in three weeks. The Sparrowhawk went to his boxing class this morning. While he was gone, I changed the sheets, put laundry away, put in another load, put that away, cleaned the sink, and washed the sheets and towels. Just trying to make myself useful again . . . . I actually cooked dinner, such as it was: scrambled eggs with salmon bits, baked potatoes with cheese, chopped green onions, broccoli and sour cream adornments. We had a Zoom with Deb and the Prussian, and are all set to swing by their house after visiting with my siblings. I'm feeling more sanguine about that after a good night's sleep, although as the day ends, I start losing my zip again. Hopefully I'll sleep again tonight.
