Too Busy to Think...

Feel like I am running ragged. Charlie requested egg-drop soup for lunch. I really did not have much time to do anything today. I have mandatory new faculty training. We have to go to a fundraiser/learning activity for a nonprofit I work with this afternoon. I have papers to grade. I have some homeschooling things to go over with Charlie today. And, I forgot the heating and air man was coming to do the semiannual updates/cleaning, etc. My training starts at 1pm. The heater/AC man was supposed to be here by 11am. They called at 12:40 and left a message he is on the way. Obviously, I cannot talk to him and participate in mandatory training at the same time. I cannot call him back, due to being on the phone for the teleconference. :/  Thus, my teenager is in charge of taking care of dogs, working with heater/AC dude and doing his schoolwork while I train.

Lunch today - quick, healthy, yummy - egg drop soup with mushrooms and green onion...

We finally found something that worked in the end... We found a good shell to use to hold the oil. You are supposed to use one that can be supported on the base, so the oil will not run out...and is slightly fluted on one end to hold the wick. The wick was supposed to be any type of fibrous natural substance. You are supposed to be able to use any type of oil or fat. We tried first to use plant fibers and some yarn... We tried Canola Oil first, because I had some in the cabinet that I wanted to get rid of... We filled the shell with the canola oil...I did steady it using a box lid from a jewelry gift box. W
