The recipe should be pretty easy. I just take forever to do everything:

Speedy Brownies Recipe | Taste of Home

I used vegetable oil instead of canola oil, found that 1 cup of chocolate chips wasn't enough to spread out generously over the top, and the brownies were done at 28 minutes in my oven.

I brushed Dottie yesterday- half on the couch and half on the floor because I had to flip her over. She is very docile, but she hates it, and the poor thing got very irritated with me. There was hair everywhere, so I forced myself to run the vacuum. Then I spent 1/2 hour and 3/4 of a sticky lint roll removing cat hair from the comforter. I got most of it off, and it almost looks laundered. When I was finished I went down for a nap, and as usual, all 3 cats joined me… the comforter will be covered in cat fur again in a couple of days.

I did laundry this morning and am entertaining the thought of cleaning the bathroom…

I don't think I'm going to get better, at least not significantly, or anytime soon. I need to find a way to push myself a little harder to see if I am capable of doing a little more or if I'm just coddling myself a little too much.
