Monday's Activities Include: two walks, two phone calls, sitter with other kid

I walked with M. I later walked around the short loop by myself. I ran into J. She asked where my other half was (not my husband -- she means M.). I always find this so adorable! She's not the only person on the loop to ask me where M. is when I do it by myself. I'm not sure _why_ I find this so adorable, but I do.

I had a phone call with K., and another with my sister.

I set up the cardboard box for taking drink photos. And then later, I used it to good effect. It'll probably develop enough wrinkles in the draped paper to need to have the paper replaced (and that's assuming I can avoid splashing on it), but it works really well. I uploaded the brandy candy (rosy drink with cognac) rocks version and then I also took a picture of the box from its side, and the drink on the counter next to it to show how it was done. I am _not_ a photographer, but I can pull off very minor tricks. K. suggested a plastic box, and maybe back lighting through the plastic and paper. I may try tucking a small LED into the cardboard box behind the paper, and see what happens. I certainly have approximately a million small LEDs in various form factors around the house.

The sitter took A. to see Peter Rabbit.
