I had big, big plans for this Labor Day weekend, and got very, very little accomplished. It was great.
There were several naps – oh, how I love naps. When I did try to accomplish something, it was a delightful adventure into ADD-land. For example: On Sunday I wondered if cold-brew coffee really has less acid than regular coffee. First I spent a good 10 minutes looking it up on the internet, then decided to test it out myself with pH test strips. (Yes, I have some of those. An old post idea gone gross.)
I dipped a strip in the cold brew, then needed some regular coffee. I brewed some with my patented funnel method.
While the water heated, I got to thinking about smells, and wondered if I could make lavender linen spray. Over to the internet to look up how to steep things. Hmmm…that lavender plant outside never bloomed, did it? I wonder why that is. Check the computer to look up why. (Maybe it got too much water. Or maybe it’s a rosemary plant?) I went out to pick some leaves – they smell pretty good, whatever they are. Back inside to wonder why the electric kettle is whistling. Oh! Coffee!!
Brew, brew, brew. Steep, steep, steep. Hmmm….you know what would go good with this coffee? Monkey bread.
See? When you cram so much useless activity into fifteen minutes, you need to take naps.
Oh, yeah – I never got around to mopping, but I did figure out how to change a mop head. Thanks, internet!
