i also forgot to mention that i bought some french onion soup bowls, which means the broccoli soup is now officially a part of the meal plan. i should make another big batch in mid june. i found i only ever ate a third, at most, of the 17 ounce cereal bowls i was using, so i bought smaller 15 ounce bowls, and they look tiny, but i think it's the right size and i'll thank myself when i make it. this broccoli soup is like a bacon and cheese stew. it's extremely filling. it takes weeks to eat through a pot of it, which is fine because it's better reheated.

i'll go through all of the stuff i skipped. it's what i'm doing next, i just lost a few days to headaches, so i bought some kitchen supplies (i am happy about the 1500 lumen bulbs in the kitchen. much better.) and redid a few things in the bathroom instead. a couple of the mirrors fell off the cardboard, so i glued them on. 

the way i'm going to be doing this is month by month and i'll be reposting it as i get through each month. what i want to make sure is that i've "installed" everything i've bought for in here since october, so i'm going to be neurotic about it, as i tend to be. for example, i know i still have uncut wood from december. so, i'm going to go back to october and catalog it all to make sure it's organized and i didn't miss anything, go to november, december, etc and i'll eventually having everything installed and be caught up within a few more days.
