My cats woke me up at 4AM:

Tom and I are off to Seattle for a week for some much-needed R&R. I’m hoping to have time to set aside time to write and refresh my creativity. But in preparation, I’ve been super productive. I managed to clear my task list at work today and get as much as possible set up to run automatically in my absence.

Last night was dedicated to some household preparation chores. To preserve the excess produce we’ve been getting in our CSA share, I made a pot of tomato sauce to freeze. It’s really sweet, I think because it was made mostly with cherry tomatoes- LOTS of cherry tomatoes. I also sliced up the three or four pounds of peaches we had stashed in the fridge to slow down the ripening- we now have four quart-sized bags of peach slices in the freezer. I also froze a bag of edamame- we had picked a big ol’ sack of it at the farm last weekend, and Tom doesn’t like it. So I boiled it up, and had some for dinner Monday night, and then some for lunch yesterday and today, and still had edamame left over.  I like this stocked-freezer thing.

So we won’t come home to a bunch of spoiled produce. And every dish in the house is clean, and most of the laundry is done. 

And now, it is time to rest.
