Making crab apple jelly

Here's today's batch of crab apple jelly cooling on the window sill.  As you can tell, I put jelly in whatever leftover jar I can find.  I would like to get one nice set of jars to use as gifts.  I looked at Wal-Mart today, but they didn't have any. It's all I can do to make one batch a day.  I do have enough extra juice from today that I can make another batch tomorrow morning before I start on the next batch of apples.  I may just freeze some of the juice to fix later.  I'm about out of jars.

My interview this morning went really well.  I liked the superintendent a lot.  I applied for the position of food service director for a school district.  It would be basically the same as my old job, except at a smaller school.  That's fine with me.  I hope to find out soon, because school starts on August 20th.  Not a lot of time to plan menus and order food.  I think I could pull it off if I started on Monday or Tuesday. 

I am really tired from standing so much today.  Need to do laundry and pick green beans tomorrow, as well as working with more of those little red apples. Need to do a lot of paperwork, too.  No rest for the wicked!
