Today it was pizza for breakfast, thanks to yesterday's puzzlingly large pizza order. In the evening I made myself ramen noodles because I had reached a point of pizza fatigue. And there's still more in the refrigerator.
What did I do all day? Hard to say. Puzzled over plans for the weekend, wasted time on social media, edited ( Read more... )

Today I mostly worked on research for a craft project. I think I'm getting to the point of diminishing returns.
I also ordered two Humble Bundles:
  • An anthology of 36 graphic novels by Mike Mignola in his "B.P.R.D." setting, better known as the Hellboy world.
  • A collection of 12 software products, all with a mapping theme ( Read more... )

This morning, "J" cheerfully greeted me with, "Happy birthday!" I wasn't really thinking about the actual date until much later, and ended up thinking it was my birthday for much of the day. Oops!
In the evening, I did some real cooking, based on a recipe web search for "tempeh stir fry". Here's a summary of the recipe as written, ( Read more... )

We had "T" home from school this morning. He had a lot of fun in the warm weather. The reason was an appointment in Kirkland, but it wasn't until afternoon so he could have gone to school in the morning. (Oops.)
Also in the morning, the house cleaners were here. The house looks good right now.
T's afternoon appointment went well ( Read more... )

There were four science lectures scheduled for today. I attended three.
The 8:30 am lecture was by Chris Benton (M.B.Ch.B., whatever those initials stand for) titled " The hazards of the space flight to Mars". I took lots of notes, but they're not really in a readable state, so the link will show a permission error until (if) I clean it up for ( Read more... )

I did a lot more work on my current writing and art project. Today all of the work was on the writing side.
For dinner "J" and I experimented with Trader Joe's vegetarian pepperoni. It's a clear winner on texture, and while it's not as spicy that's easier to correct with crushed red peppers.

This morning "J" and I worked hard to get ready for the cleaning people, and did a particularly good job of it. And they did good work as usual.
We went to get "T" for his usual Monday appointment, rescheduled to a Wednesday. It took him a while to get to the door, but we were close to on time.
After returning T to school, J and I had brunch at ( Read more... )

Today we took "T" to his usual Monday appointment. Afterwards we had brunch at our favorite diner.
Later, I took T to his karate private lesson and group class.
Between the karate classes, we went to the assisted living apartment where my mother is recovering from her fall, for a short visit. She was thrilled to see me, and particularly to see T

This morning, I visited my parents, but only briefly because the next thing on the agenda was an appointment for "T". ("J" had things to do, and stayed home.) I brought T's set of Captain Underpants in case he got bored of grown-up conversation at brunch.
Next on the agenda was brunch, for the first time in months, mostly to discuss film festival ( Read more... )

Today, "J" and I spent a lot of time working on school paperwork for "T". We should have done it sooner, but better late than never.
Speaking of T, after coming home from school, he wanted to go back in the evening for his school's science fair. He didn't have a project to display, but wanted to see his friends' exhibits. We arrived soon after 6  ( Read more... )
