Out on the town!

The housecleaner will be here today. Always tricky to figure out when. She has alternate temporal rules. She usually gets here at 10. But once in a while, way earlier. If I ask, she'll say she will be here at 9 and comes at 10. I quit asking. Years ago, I did make the rule that if she couldn't be here by 10 then not to come (and not get paid) so she almost always is here by 10:05.

Since last March I have been extremely careful NOT to be here when she comes. She has a huge family and is very huggy and I have no idea how careful she is about being COVID safe. So I've been leaving the house by 9 which means a whole lotta killing time waiting for her to be done. Today I'm going to give myself an bonus and not leave until 9:30.

Living on the edge.

This morning I waffled tater tots. Huge success.

I ended my hexagon afghan last night. I'm not finished. I still want to do a border but I decided it was a good size and I should stop.

Baseball, for sure, now is going to at least have Spring Training. We think. The Mariners sent out the schedule. First Spring Training game is February 17. And I start my annual debate about whether to upgrade my cable TV package (and take on an extra $80 a month) just to see baseball. I think I'm just going to go ahead and bite the bullet... again. The total cost is a little less than 10% of what my ticket would have cost me for the season. The Mariners still have my money from 2020 so at least when I do get to sit in the seat again, it will be paid for.

I hope.

Ok, now it is time to get showered and dressed and ready to boogie.

How long does she clean for?

[susandennis]

Usually an hour and a half to two hours but sometimes only an hour and sometimes two and a half. She's a crap shoot :)

But, she's been cleaning my house for a dozen years now and does a fine job so it's hard to complain. I manage, but it's hard.

Haha! What's she like in terms of results, and does she have a set of jobs to do?

Edit: Sorry, just spotted your update.

Interesting idea for tator tots. Did you let them sit out and thaw or were they straight from freezer to iron?

[susandennis]

Last night, I put some in the fridge and used those but if I didn't have any thawed, I'd nuke 'em before waffling.

Waffled tater tots sound amazing and I think I need them in my life.
