Daily Notes- July 24th

The aftermath of pickle making.

Twelve Pints and two stinky containers.

Stinky because of days of salting in the fridge with raw onions.

I have rubbed the insides with baking soda. That sometimes works to remove odors.

A "productive" Day here.

The second AC unit is installed and as husband said- easier.

It took most of the day to get rid of the humidity in the bedroom wing.

But sleeping last night was quite pleasant.

I had another "fall" after the AC unit was installed.

I tripped and fell- a carpeted surface.

A bruise on my leg where it hit some furniture.  Left shoulder a bit tender.

No broken bones. And I could have smacked my face.

I am well padded and have excellent bone density for an old woman.

And being an old woman- I did wet my pants.

And after that I canned the pickles  One batch after the other.

Which is an incredible difference.  Only one clean up.

From now on that is how I will do it.  Two batches prepped at the same time.

If I had three of these containers- I would do three batches.

As it is, I do not intend to do any more pickles until mid August.

When there is a glut of squash and people are eager to give it away.

The rest of the day I watched the news 

Trump bragging the doctors gave him the Dementia Test- which is epic-

Do you think anyone has had the nerve to tell him it wasn't an IQ test????
