Mar. 2nd, 2015 10:43 amFebruary is over, which is good because it can't snow any more in February. That does not, however, keep it from snowing any more at all, and that's where I wish we'd get to. (This sentiment brought to you by the 2" of snow we got last night.)
On Saturday morning I did the usual grocery shopping, and got run over by at least four or five groups of runners in training for the marathon. There just isn't enough sidewalk space for packs of marathon runners and everybody else at the same time (and a lot of everybody else on Saturday mornings is elderly Jewish people trying to get to their synagogues and getting run over. That annoys me more than getting run over myself.). But the sun was out, anyway, and I got slightly carried away with buying fruit and vegetables and thereby massacred my shoulder again. But the blackberries were quite nice. And I spent the afternoon wandering through the MFA, because I hadn't been since the samurai armor exhibit, and that was nice too, and finished with a trip to Super 88 and the food court. Yay, saag paneer!
Yesterday I paid bills and did laundry and then decided to go out and find a new mattress pad and plug adapters for Australia, and possibly a new electric toothbrush. I ended up coming home with none of the above, because the T on the outbound leg was so slow that I didn't have time to go find things before I had to come home again and then go to my voice lesson. Which I am now not having until May, on account of logistics. Mostly it's on account of my teacher's now-four-month-old only letting her get four hours of sleep a night and her husband not wanting her to drive so much on four hours of sleep. Which is a good point, but I can't get out to Stoneham on Sundays, so no lessons for me unless I find another teacher. Sigh.
The worst part about not getting the acquisition-of-stuff errands done yesterday was that I didn't have time to cook either. I really want to braise that oxtail, but that requires about four hours and I didn't have it when I got home last night. I don't know why I'm so grumpy about that, but it seems I am. I also (courtesy of the Super 88 trip) have a rather large daikon radish I want to turn into refrigerator pickles, but that only takes as long as dissecting it and making brine takes. Maybe I'll do that tonight.
