Oct. 19th, 2020 09:35 amI wish this had been another three-day weekend, and I do have personal days to use up, but it wouldn't have been a good idea on account of a meeting tomorrow that I would have needed today to prepare for. Except I don't, because powers higher than me scheduled a town hall meeting for exactly the same time, so my meeting is now canceled.
Grammie is in the hospital, expected home today. The hospital is offering all sorts of home help, but I don't know how much help it will actually be if she does get it, because after all she's 98. How much PT/OT does a 98-year-old need? She would like the human contact, though.
I finally decided to use the frozen rice cakes that have been hiding in the freezer for ages. They came out pretty well, although slightly overcooked, but I'm excusing that because this was the first time I'd ever used them. They need soaking first, and now I know they need soaking in hot water, because they sat in cold water for an hour and a half to no effect at all. The end product was stir-fry, with ground pork and mushrooms and half a Napa cabbage. I had better figure out what to do with the other half today, because it's sulking in the bottom shelf of the fridge and it's already wilted.
The ballot-tracking site says mine was finally mailed last Thursday. I'm hoping it doesn't take ten days to get across town, but even if it does, it doesn't matter because I'm not mailing it back; it's going to the Brighton library drop box.
I shoveled an inch of dead pine needles off the sidewalk on Saturday, because they were getting slippery. Last year must have been a good year for pine needles.
