Adventures in House Managing Day 2

Today was surprisingly uneventful. I think I've gotten the hang of this house managing deal, or else with all the other stuff that we're dealing with this week, everything that happens seems so incredibly minor. I feel super calm and organized.

We made more bread this morning, which actually turned out :) Olivier's turned out a bit better then mine, which I'm jealous of because I worked hard on mine and I thought his looked rather disaterous at times.

After that I cleaned the bathrooms (exciting, I know lol), and tidied up the living area (not quite a room), for a meeting Gabby was having with members of the community after lunch.

In the afternoon we did dishes (oh the excitement is killing me) and I started working on our welcome package for the participants who will be living in our house starting next week. I'm making a map of Alfred pointing out the points of interest (well, interest by Alfred's standards). I think it's going to be really cool when I'm done. Becky, Lesley, and Amelie (who were all home from work today) helped by making nametags for the doors and cards that we're going to leave on their beds.

Olivier had to leave for his final English class at 4pm leaving me to prepare dinner by myself, but since I'd made it before it wasn't too difficult. I have decided thought that cooking large amounts of pasta in a large pot on the stovetop always ends in burning at least a bit of it. Last time I made it in a crock pot which turned out much better, but our crock pot isn't big enough to feed all of us so I had to improvise. It was still good in the end though.
