Oct. 13th, 2020 09:48 amI walked about five and a half miles on Saturday, but I ended up with kitty litter and regulators (finally!) and two different lots of groceries, so it was worth being sore in all sorts of places all day on Sunday.
I made soup on Sunday, and it came out exactly the way I wanted. Chicken broth and tomatoes and corn and lima beans and okra, and four cloves of garlic and some smoked paprika and black pepper. When in doubt, put the okra in last and turn it off after ten minutes. It came out exactly the way I wanted and I have enough for lunch for the rest of the week.
Yesterday I went and got my flu shot, which hurt less to get than the HSDM ones do (different place in my arm, maybe?) but hurt more afterward. It seems to be about done hurting now, which is nice. And I can cross another Responsible Adulthood thing off the list. (Where the hell is my ballot, Massachusetts?)
Yesterday I also discovered that I now have two wristwatches with dead batteries and band clasps falling apart in various ways. Unfortunately I can't do anything about resurrecting them until Friday at the earliest, but I would like to have both of them resurrected.
I'm officially halfway through the embroidery pattern now, hooray. Getting that far took four and a half years, so now I have a time to beat for the second half. It wouldn't have taken so long if I hadn't given up in disgust for six months and if I hadn't had CODA take over my life for a year or so. I hope I'll be done by 2024, when CODA will take over my life again.
I have to write two more recommendation letters this week and have yet another meeting with the MMSc student who can't write. I'm running out of ways to say "Well, you did a thoroughly half-assed job with the last batch of corrections, so do them properly, and then I'll suggest some other things." I've been saying this since August and it hasn't sunk in yet, and I'm about done with it. But I have to keep having these meetings. Sigh.
