Tuesday: continuing sorta normal
Jan. 5th, 2021 08:33 pmI had a very brief visit with M., and then a walk.
I did the long walk by myself.
A. went with the sitter.
School went okay. Someone (counselor?) called A. to talk to her about the weird thing that happened with the music teacher talking about football and everyone in the class being born Patriots fans. This upset someone else (heck, it weirded out A. and me, and caused me to immediately decide that the music teacher was going to be this term’s Problem Person), and the person calling talked to A. to try to better understand what exactly happened. Then they wanted to make sure I knew that had happened and A. was not in trouble. Call arrived while I was walking with M., punted for an hour, and then of course sitter arrival and A. departure disrupted. It was fine.
I played Chutes and Ladders with T. I discovered some games and puzzles in the basement, and R. mailed some to K. today and I put some on the shelf to do and saved some unopened puzzles for us to do in the future.
I continue to dismantle Mos Eisley.
I made the last Sun Basket meal from this box. The spice packet went missing, so I found an earlier one that seemed mostly compatible. R. abandoned his second ludicrously strong ginger liquor / ginger beer / whisky drink and I was drinking by that point so like I even cared how the fried rice turned out. It was fried rice; it was fine.
J. and I had a delightful phone call, part of which was spent picking dates for our February 2022 visit to the Mouse (East Coast). Should be fun!
