Compost Happens: to-do list for not-so-lazy hot, hot day

It's hot enough and muggy enough to make me want to hang out in a recliner, under the ceiling fan, in air-conditioned comfort, with a frivolous novel and a glass of iced tea by my side. Well, I did some of that. But I was proud; my day was still riddled with minor accomplishments.

Make coffee.
Feed bunnies, already looking like they're feeling the heat.
Get breakfast for teenaged children and self.
Read with El Grande. (We're enjoying A Long Way from Chicago by Richard Peck; check it out! It's definitely not just for kids.)
Sympathize with La Petite when she complains that we have no white bread in the house. "But mom, I'm just not into flaxseed or multi-grain!"
Throw together the ingredients for a loaf of white bread in the bread machine.
Wave good bye to La Petite and minivan, heading to the beach with friends. Hope she remembered sunscreen. (Yeah, yeah, mom, like I'd forget? Give me some credit.)
Bring big, awkward rabbit cage upstairs (with help of sturdy metal dolly).
Install hot, hot rabbits in cage in La Petite's room (see picture below).
Collect all the towels in the house.
Wash and dry all the towels in the house.
Bring garbage cans in from curb and soak them with a little detergent to rid them of incredible odors made worse by hot weather.
Put lunch together for El Grande and self.
Fold and put away all the towels in the house.
Remove bread from bread machine. MMM!
After cooling (and spreading aroma throughout house), slice bread.
Read more with El Grande. Gosh, this Grandma's escapades are amazing!
Rinse garbage cans and leave them out to dry.
Return garbage cans to home base outside back door.
Give children money for pizza delivery supper. (Hey, I can rationalize it once in a while, especially since I baked bread, cleaned, and did laundry much of the day.)
Pack books and files for study group. Head out the door to enjoy professional and grown-up conversation!
