I should write about this date…
...but I’m not gonna.
Possibly later on the WTF page, which is getting a bit of a workout thanks to living on the Dumpster Fire timeline where people who view empathy with disgust and think a certain number of gun deaths are a fair price to pay for unregulated gun ownership get medals for <checks notes> being assassinated. Maybe in front of their children. Prolly not, tho. It’s a lovely day, and I’d rather do other things.
I have met with our new house sitter and walked through the important stuff like the cat’s feeding schedule, cat box cleaning system, how to work the hot water dispenser, and where the TV remote lives. All important things! I need to write down various important information so I can leave her a cheat sheet. That’s on today’s list.
Book gifts for my niece’s upcoming baby shower have arrived and been inspected, all are exactly in order. I wish I could’ve ordered them from a local shop instead of The Evil Empire, but timing is everything, and the shower is Saturday. (Plus I did need more supplies I cannot find anywhere else in the US, so there was going to be a delivery anyway. Of such rationalizations are made our modern lives, compromised in some ethical arena no matter what.) ANYway. I shall endeavor to buy the next rounds of books for baby (and possibly parents too!) at one of the many awesome Chicago bookstores.
The books came boxed with paper instead of bubble wrap. Pippin was disappointed, but I am pleased. I now have the last element needed for the next phase of Fake Shoji Door construction, namely, seeing of laminate on the back is enough to hold them together after the resizing. The instructions say to iron on the cotton setting with Kraft paper between the iron and the strips. I got the borrowed iron last week. And now, Kraft paper has been obtained!
There is also writing on the schedule, and cucumbers waiting to be turned into salad, and perhaps some cookie dough to be made. It’ll be stinky hot again the whole next week, but the nights should be cool enough to balance it out. Not a drop of rain forecasted, though. If that doesn’t change, this weekend I’ll have to be watering all the trees and shrubs.
But now, I have puzzles to complete, and then a walk to take in the sunshine. Carpe fresh air.
And that is that for now.
