The boys went to K1 Speed today and had a fabulous time. Now son is explaining to not son all the various control features of his car. He asked permission to put the car in accessory mode (I said do not turn the car on, because he still doesn’t have a learner’s permit and I don’t want to create trouble) and I was like sure no problem. I warned not son that every car is a little different in terms of controls, and because he’s used to playing games on different video systems he’s very used to that as an idea, which is helpful. They are now working through all the other cars as well. This is kind of cool — there’s a toyota, a subaru, a honda and a bmw, so he’ll definitely get used to the idea there are variations. Not son is old enough to rent a car, so it’s important he grasp this concept and really take seriously getting familiar with the controls before sailing off onto the highway after getting off a flight.
A. had some GI issues last night, so she did not go to school today. We’ve got a telehealth followup appointment for her (this is related to the neurology exam she had a few months ago).
I went up into the unfinished space and started pulling out boxes that were things that I had bought, opening them up, and sorting them into paper recycling, trash, ewaste, and Bits That Might Possibly Be Useful. There were a lot more boxes (in number and overall total volume) than I had realized. I got kinda hot and tired after a while, so I went and made myself a black bean sloppy joe.
ETA: I had a delightful phone call with K. I had a delightful phone call with A. She’s also in the process of bidding some remodeling work. It’s a trend! LOL Probably it actually is. I made blondies and granola.
I cleared more of the trash out of the unfinished space. While chatting with K., she mentioned independently how obnoxious it is that the beautiful apple product boxes are never particularly repurposable for crafting, and sometimes you have to dismantle them to recycle the components.
I made some chicken and red sauce with a bunch of odds and ends (the rest of the prepped celery sticks, the last bit of salami, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, garlic scapes, broccolini) and had it over pasta. I was going to have the leftovers for a snack tomorrow, but not son spotted it and had most of it. There’s about enough for an omelette but the pasta is gone (which is fine).
