Not being at work has been lovely and I'm really glad I decided to give myself a little time to recover. I am down to once a day panics about things being overdue and I only have work-related nightmares every couple days. Yay progress

This week I need to get myself registered for school. I need to talk with an admissions adviser though because I have a few questions. Hopefully I can get over my social anxiety and get that done.

Other ways I have been keeping myself busy:

Cleaning - I am not terribly good at cleaning but I think I am making some progress. The bedroom is nearly done. Roomba is vacuuming right now. After that, I just need to change the sheets and wash the blankets. Progress is continuously lost because I keep cooking in there. Too many fancy recipes! I think the living room and dining rooms will be my next rooms to get clean.

Cooking - As mentioned, too many fancy recipes! I am constantly washing dishes and cleaning counters. I have made many tasty things though. I am trying out new recipes from my stupidly large collection of cookbooks. (Cookbooks I should not have because I have the internet.) My big goal for the summer is to make at least 1/4 of the recipes in my star trek cook book.

Dogs - They are super annoying and want to be walked all the time. It is a good thing they are very cute.

Gardening - With spring here, it's time to garden! Yay! I cleaned out most of the weeds from my main garden bed and loaded it up with seedlings I had started this winter under grow lights. I planted 6 different types of tomatoes. Heritage hybrid, pink pounder hybrid, orange slice hybrid, sunny boy hybrid, son gold hybrid, and roma. The roma isn't growing too hot after transplant, so I may need to buy some more from the store if they don't survive. The sun golds are doing awesome, except when maggie tramples them with her giant monster feet. I also planted 2 types of cucumbers. Salad bush hybrid and white wonder. The white wonder did really well last year, so I'm hoping for a repeat. In addition, even though it's a little early, I transplanted my zucchini. Burpee hybrid, I think, which was doing great last year until the squash borers killed it. The only think I have left indoors is my luffa, which I think I'll transplant next weekend.
