Should have stayed in bed

Today was one of those days I should have just stayed in bed. I think everything I tried to do I dropped or made a mess.

I started to make mom her protein energy balls and I started and could not find half the stuff I needed to put in them. By the time I found it the ball mixture had dried out and I had to improvise to get them to hold together. I used honey. I could not find the vanilla yesterday so off to the store I went and got a new bottle. Guess who found the old bottle when I started making it?  Now I have two large full bottles of vanilla.

The lesson I learned I should have known since I was about 9 years old and almost every time I go to cook something in a house that has two women who cook.  I think I just got some of that at the store so I know I have it. WRONG...mom used it in something she was cooking so in the middle of what I am cooking off to the store I go.  Energy balls mixtures dry out, you meat will get greasy sitting in the pan while you run to the store to get the soy sauce and brown sugar for the glaze. Lucky for me my salmon had not started to cook so I could still set it on a plate without it falling apart and it had not cooked long enough to stop, start the cooking and ruin it.

Then when I tried to make the smoothies this afternoon for the pm protein I made blackberry and banana. Well that sounded good but do you know how much blackberries stain especially when you blend them all to a liquid?  Well now I do. I dumped it down the front of my light gray shirt and all over the floor and down the front of the counter.  Got that mess cleared up and took it into the living room and my mom says "oh good a small one today because I am just to full for a big one".  Now does she know I dropped it all over and being nice?

I went outside to do some work and tripped over the hose and did a cartoon dance across the yard dropping stuff everywhere but did not fall. The dogs loved that they got the scrapes instead of the chickens.

Forgot to run the dishwasher last night so had to take most of the stuff out of it and wash by hand now that it was all crusted and dried for me as I needed things that were in it. I ended up not getting anything put in the freezer for busy days and we had a sandwich for supper. Lucky I got the protein balls done where we got some protein.

Tomorrow will be a better day, I just know it will.
