Tom’s gone again until Wednesday evening. There was a time in our relationship when time would drag on and I would hate being away from him. Now, I love our time apart. Don’t get me wrong – I miss him very much when he’s away – but I’ve learned to love my “me” time and enjoy having the apartment to myself (and Romeo of course).
I came home from work today and realized I had left the coffee pot on this morning! The apartment smelled like that yucky, burnt coffee smell. My mom suggested baking soda and hot water to soak the burnt coffee off the bottom of the pot, which worked quickly and VERY well. I didn’t even have to scrub the pot that much, to my surprise! So, when I made potatoes and left the oven on while I was eating (I’m a clutz today!) and found them caked onto the pot, I used it again – same results! I decided to hop online and see how else I could use baking soda, since it’s such an effective cleaner. It turns out it’s just as useful as vinegar and water. This is just one of the many articles I found when I searched for baking soda ideas.
Alright, I have to get my butt in gear and get started on this research paper. I’m going to write until 10pm or 2 pages, whichever comes first. I may even try for three – I’m feeling ambitious tonight!
