Steamy

Yesterday the internet wasn't working when it came time to blog so we weren't able to post anything.  So I do a bit of a double blog tonight.  Yesterday was a good day.  I didn't need to study any more, so that wasn't looming over my head.  I was able to do some things around the lab and just was nice to not worry that I needed to study if I didn't want to do it at home.  But it was still a slow day, that doesn't need much more mentioning.

I was able to come home on time and we were going to have pasta to clean up some of the pasta sauces in the fridge.  So we boiled up some spaghetti and Sonja went to drain the water.  We don't like using our colander just because it is big and a pain to clean when we are done, so we usually just pour water out with the lid on.  Sonja tried to do this but something happened and half of the spaghetti ended up in the sink.  So Sonja had what was left in the pot and I made some chicken strips and fries to eat instead.

After supper our friends Kendra and Jessica came over.  Kendra was only here for a little bit, she was leaving today and still had to pack and clean her place so she left kinda early.  Jessica stayed for a bit and  we played a game of Phase 10.  I lost and was just a terrible game for me.  I think we stayed up for a little bit longer but went to bed around 11 as we were pretty tired.

I was able to sleep in this morning, again because I didn't need to study this morning.  I got up just after 10.  However the relaxing day didn't last long.  We wanted to clean up the place before leaving.  I borrowed the steam cleaner from the hospital and we cleaned the carpets.  I'm pretty sure that they haven't been clean since before we moved out here.  So the day was spent moving everything around, vacuuming and then steaming the carpets.  We did the whole floor, so everything was moved out and then back to where it belongs.

It was a pretty tiring day for me, being the only one in a condition suitable to moving furniture.  But now the carpets are clean and the baby can crawl around all over on them and not just be on the gross carpet.  That job took until 3 when I got called into work for a quick xray.  I came home shortly and continued cleaning and organizing the house so that packing tomorrow is a little bit easier.  We have also been doing laundry all day.  I think the 5th load is in there right now.  We have clothes and sheets and couch cover and you name it, we washed it today.  Our place is going to be super clean when we get back, so all we need to do on our return is unpack.

Tomorrow is out packing day.  We will be packing up what we need to bring and putting it into the car.  It isn't supposed to rain tomorrow, so I won't get soaked doing it, and won't be slipping and falling with all our stuff.  It has been pretty wet out side for the last few days, so I'm glad that it should be letting up tomorrow.  We also need to get the car packed tomorrow, because by the time I get off work it is pretty close to dark and I want to be able to see what I'm doing.

For supper tonight I made hamburgers.  I had started combining the ingredients, when I realized I didn't have an egg to use for a binder.  I decided to make them anyway and they still turned out just fine.  The rest of the night has been spent watching the Oilers game and freeing up space on the laptop.  The game is tied at 2 going into the third, so we will see what happens.
