List of the Week
Again, the week is rushing past... what is going on?
Crap dealt with this week:

- interest relief application for student loans sent in, reviewed and accepted (yay!)
- set up daycare subsidy review meeting (sigh)
- found Zoe's birth certificate so she can: renew her health card (which expires when you turn 16), apply for a social insurance number (needed to work in Canada), and get a Police check done for her volunteering application
- pulled out hundreds of dandelions (enough to fill three large garbage cans - we have municipal composting here)
- finally got the gul-dern brand new lawnmower to work long enough to cut the front and back; it already needs it again
- cleaned up dog puke

You composted the dandelions? The greens make excellent salad and tea, the roots also make a good tea that is a de-toxifier (but be careful as it also is a laxative in larger quantities). Best of all, you can use the blossoms to make Dandelion Wine. Sage's mom brought some last time she visited and it was quite delightful.

Good grief when do you find time to sleep?
I'd forgotten about the Glebe garage sale - I know what I'll be doing this weekend (after playing at Mooney's of course!)

Thanks to Todd for the reference to Dandelion wine. I have often told friends that my Uncle used to make it (but I thought it was a family urban legend). Now I can give them the recipe too.
