Busy busy whine

Last night, I got home from work and immediately began assembling something from our weekend IKEA run, another Expedit shelf for the kitchen. Got that done, moved into place, and a few things into it. Then Azure asked me to lie down and take a nap with him, and even though I was feeling pretty energetic, that sounded nice so I did. 40 minutes later, S4 got me up to loan me his ice cream maker, which is very exciting! So of course I immediately set to work on making this ginger coconut etc. sorbet recipe. And then while that was churning I got to work on my Thing 7 sweater mending that I already posted about. Of course since I have never made ice cream before I was not paying super close attention and didn't notice when it got to the point where I should stick it in the freezer. This didn't damage the machine at all but did mean that I got it into the freezer later than I should have... which meant that the ice cream wasn't really thoroughly ready until about 11 PM. That was later than I meant to, which means that I'm totally going to serve that up, eat it, and count it as my Thing for today. Phooey.
Oh right, while I was in there I also made dinner, tacos with red pepper and onion and fake chicken and refried beans. And we watched Mad Men while I worked on my sweater, since patching it was almost 100% hand work.

I feel kind of busy and a little overwhelmed. But there are still so many things that need doing outside of work! My list of Things To Do When I Got Home was 8 items long yesterday and I only got through 4 of them. I wonder if my expectations weren't a bit unreasonable there.

Today's Thing is not blue! And is food.
