Nope!! It’s been cooked and I really have to organize the fridge and freezer so stuff doesn’t get wasted. We had a sudden drop in temperature and the sugar cane is being harvested so it’s the season to keep mice traps set and HG claimed she saw a mouse in the pantry so DH set a trap. I need to tackle the pantry as well and put all perishable items in glass jars apparently. 
One shelf at a time. But today I am on the back porch. No one would believe me if I described. I would have to just take pictures and incriminate myself for living this way. In truth it didn’t happen all in one day. But I would have to clean up as others, much healthier and stronger than me mess up. It’s frustrating. The problem is I have to do laundry but in my mind it’s pointless because I don’t have a clean floor so I am shaking off clothes and putting them in baskets, collecting tools and putting them on shelves, collecting junk and putting them in containers to dispose of and the whole time, dust is flying everywhere so if I would have clothes hanging they would be getting dirty so I’m waiting until I can see fit to sweep it off…. Hopefully sometime today. I guess I should have consumed something besides coffee by now too.
HG has left for a sleepover at her friends house but she cleaned some dishes so that’s at least something. I told her to pick up her clothes off the line as well. She mostly accomplished it. I should probably just support crisis pregnancy centers and never take in another person into my home regardless of the reason, except if I actually gave birth to them because very few people work in ways that make sense to me. Seems like some kind of order should exist. I don’t want much. Just put the coat hangers in this location so easy access. If you drop them on the floor pick them up cuz they will break if stepped on. If it’s trash or broken then throw it away. If it’s dirty wash it. If it’s yours pick it up. Stuff like that. I’m tired cuz I’m sick. I’m frustrated cuz I’m living with messy people. If it was just DH I wouldn’t mind as much cuz he does his share plus others.
Well I probably won’t be babysitting as much cuz WWIII broke out when I correctly diagnosed my 10 year old grandson with hand, foot, and mouth disease after he had been with his mother and other grandmother (also a nurse). DIL started talking about mosquitos and Indian Fire to which I denied and insisted it was GF&M which was later confirmed by a pediatrician. Now I am the devil. You know why?? He talked to me and I actually listen to him instead of telling him to shut up and go to his room while I look in my phone. It’s pride!! She is ashamed that I am a nurse when for the 2nd time she is out of the nursing program and her nurse mother and her missed something that her nurse MIL caught in 2 hours as well as examine all other children who were clean. Now I feel like a real MIL!!
