This is the way I felt today. I was not in the mood to get up and get dressed, much less leave the house. Yet, I ended up doing a couple of loads of laundry and bake a tray of brownies for tomorrow's game night.

The good and bad thing about doing laundry in my building is that I must go up and down 2 flights of stairs a minimum of 3 times on laundry days. This means I get a little bit of exercise (very little) each time I take care of this chore. Yet, it seems to get harder and harder over the years, as I still want to carry two full baskets up and down the stairs, and feel less comfortable (safe?) doing this. This is one chore I usually do in Mario mode, as I do it on days I don't feel like putting on my make up and going out in the world as Marian.
Once I was done with laundry, I started on the task of baking brownies. A while back, I found a recipe for 2-ingredient Nutella brownies. Tonight, I took out my mixing bowl, my hand blender, a baking pan I could put in my toaster oven, Nutella and 8 eggs. 75 minutes later, I had some tasty goodies I'll be bringing to game night/

One possible bit of good news for me - due to a change of plans, RQS may be joining me for game night tomorrow. I'd have rather had her enjoy herself throwing some clay and honing her pottery skills. But this change of plans was not one either of us would have chosen. We've been given some lemons, and we're trying to make some lemonade.
