do more around the house

I was home all day yesterday and got quite a few things done:

- chopped off a dry tree branch and made firewood
- vacuumed downstairs
- peeled and chopped sugarcane (for today’s dinner)
- chopped dethorned nopales
- peeled tomatillos
- chopped guava
- put up xmas lights

It was a very productive day, but I did not make much progress on getting my room cleaned up… lol maybe next weekend, after finals…

lately I’ve been helping my mom clean up after dinner almost everyday. She really appreciates not only the help, but also the company.

Oh, and I made dinner today! lol, it wasn’t much, just some bacon-wrapped hotdogs on the grill. My mom is taking a couple classes on Monday and Wednesday evenings, so she doesn’t have time to cook dinner after work. We usually just have leftovers or order in on those days. Today, however, I got home early from school and had just enough time to grill the dogs and buns, then chop up some onions and tomatoes. It was the first time I’ve cooked for the family (other than quesadillas or grilled cheese, lol).

Everyone said they were good. Even though it wasn’t exactly a fancy dinner, it felt rewarding :P
