Progress today on several fronts. Dusted, mopped, and vacuumed the master suite, hall, and hall bathroom (all long overdue). Trimmed along the south side of the house and installed a new soaker hose, then ran a successful test on a timer. Flattened quite a few boxes that had accumulated in the den and came across an odd little garden light that seems to have arrived here via a few padded boxes from the home of my cat sitting gig (she saved them for me because they're particularly good for shipping glasses and I still have quite a few to list on eBay). I'll take that back to her this weekend when the next cat sitting job starts.

I also picked the first two eggplants ready in the garden and in the morning I'll make one of them into a batch of breaded fried eggplant and take across the street to my neighbor who loves it and has been in poor health for quite a while. The second one will go into a batch of babaghanouj. Normally I would eat it with pita bread, but I'll use it with toasted gluten free bread (I have quite a few loaves in the freezer.)
