I did my volunteering at the library this morning, and as soon as I came home i printed out the biscuit recipe and started to work. before i could even make it i had to pull out the yeast and then scrub the counter top clean...

yeah it was really nasty to clean.

once i got it clean i made the biscuits and did the dishes i could while they baked. Hopefully they taste as good as when mom makes them. Downside to all this is my hands were yuckied up more times then i could count and now my feel hurt like crap. Pretty sure part of that is the bad circulation i have in my legs do to my Hypotension [low blood pressure].

I plain to just sit here on my but for a bit with my feet raised. I see no point in getting up when nothing really to do and my feet hurt this bad.
