Monday was rainy

A. was really slow getting out the door, but it turns out there was a DNS update that borked AWS and so Canvas and a whole lot of the world wasn’t working properly. We were over 15 minutes late to Fusion, and no one cared. There’s a lesson here for me, and let me tell you, this is not helping me instill in A. the value of arriving on time places.

R. went grocery shopping. Because of the aforementioned outage, we couldn’t pull the shopping list up on the alexa app, so he handwrote a shopping list which he then forgot to bring with him. I added mushrooms to it, took a picture, and texted it to him. That worked, anyway.

I read about half of Zoe Schlanger’s _The Light Eaters_ and it’s great and I’m hoping to finish it, altho not in time for book group. Book group was fun, tho.

I made blondies. Apparently I am driving out to the house tomorrow.

The wedding pictures I ordered from R.’s nephew’s wedding (the one A. and I did not attend) arrived and I moved things around to make space for them. I also deployed a bunch of Halloween decorations. This was a great test of Did I Declutter the Halloween Decorations Correctly, and the answer is a resounding yes. I even put out the Ruggable runner.

Also! R. brought a small table downstairs and two microscopes and I posted them both on FBM and they were picked up very quickly.
